Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves fresh garlic
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons parsley, freshly chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easier cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chicken wings, olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Toss well to coat all wings evenly with the seasoning.
Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Make sure they are not touching each other for proper air circulation.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure both sides become crispy and golden-brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic butter mixture. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add finely minced fresh garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, but not browned.
Once the wings are fully cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven and immediately transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Pour the garlic butter over the hot wings, add the freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and toss well to coat each wing evenly.
Sprinkle the wings with chopped parsley for garnish and serve immediately. They are best enjoyed warm!
