Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces chicken wings
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss the chicken wings in this mixture until well coated.
Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure there's enough space between each wing for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through the cooking time, until they are golden brown and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the Parmesan garlic topping. In a mixing bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, minced garlic, and lemon juice.
Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Transfer the hot wings into the bowl with the Parmesan mixture and toss to coat evenly.
Serve the garlic Parmesan chicken wings immediately while they are still hot and crispy.
