These Garlic Rosemary Parmesan wings are moist, flavorful and crispy with each delicious bite, perfect for cooking indoors or outside on the grill too! 

I made them for the first time after a loyal fan of The Riche Life told me that she used the garlic-rosemary marinade from my Easter lamb chops on party wings for one of her kids who doesn't like lamb. Her wings turned out so well that I had to try them too, except I added fresh grated Parmesan cheese and a tangy Greek yogurt dipping sauce to give the wings their own unique identity in the Riche Life repertoire.
