Ingredients

  • 2 lb chicken wings fresh or frozen, thawed if frozen
  • 2 tbsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp red chili flakes adjust to preference
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to achieve crispy texture.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
  • In a large bowl, combine chicken wings, minced garlic, red chili flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and salt. Toss until well-coated.
  • Place the seasoned wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
  • While wings bake, melt unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley once melted.
  • Remove wings from the oven and brush them with the garlic Parmesan sauce, ensuring they are well-coated.
  • Transfer wings to a serving platter, garnish with extra parsley if desired, and serve hot.
