Garlic Parmesan Wings

Ingredients

• 3 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 6 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray with cooking spray.

2. 2

   Pat wings completely dry with paper towels. Toss with baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Do not overcrowd — air circulation is key for crispiness.

4. 4

   Bake for 20 minutes, flip wings, then bake for another 20-25 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

5. 5

   While wings bake, melt butter in a small saucepan. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.

6. 6

   Stir Parmesan, parsley, and red pepper flakes into the garlic butter.

7. 7

   Toss the hot wings in the garlic Parmesan butter until evenly coated. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese.
