Parmesan garlic is also growing as a flavor for chicken wings, a rapidly growing item on menus this year.
As indulgent as it is easy, and combining flavors that many American consumers already love, Parmesan garlic can be used as a dipping sauce or slathered on any number of proteins to amp up both interest and flavor.
