Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings, trimmed and patted dry
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top for the wings to bake evenly.
- Season the wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well coated.
- Bake the wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the garlic sauce: While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Toss the wings: Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl and toss them with the garlic-Parmesan butter sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
