Ingredients
  • 3 pounds chicken wings, drumettes and wings separated
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • canola oil, for deep-frying
  • 1 head garlic
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
  • ¼ teaspoons dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoons dried basil
  • ¼ teaspoons dried thyme
  • ¼ teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
Directions
  1. Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry with paper towels. Season the wings with salt and pepper, and put them in refrigerator.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350 F.
  3. Cut ¼ inch off the top of the garlic head. Drizzle the garlic with olive oil and wrap it in foil. Bake the garlic head for 30-40 minutes, or until the garlic cloves are soft. Remove the garlic from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  4. Squeeze the garlic head to extract the garlic cloves into a medium bowl. Mash the garlic cloves until they are smooth. Add mayonnaise, lemon juice, apple cider vinegar, sugar, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, thyme, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Whisk everything together until the sauce is well combined. Place the sauce into the refrigerator until ready for use.
  5. Heat the canola oil in a deep fryer or large Dutch oven to 375 F. Fry the wings in batches until they are cooked through and golden brown, 8-10 minutes.
  6. Place the wings on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
  7. Toss the wings in the Parmesan garlic sauce. Transfer the wings to a serving platter and serve them with carrots and celery.
