Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon ground black pepper

½ teaspoon salt

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

3 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). For easy cleanup, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

    Prepare the Wings: If you're using whole chicken wings, carefully separate them into drumettes and flats. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels; this will help them achieve that extra crispy texture when baked.

      Season the Wings: In a spacious mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Ensure all wings are evenly coated with the seasoning blend for maximum flavor.

        Bake the Wings: Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. Remember to flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure they brown evenly and achieve a crispy finish.

          Prepare the Garlic Butter Sauce: While the wings are baking, create the aromatic garlic butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and gently cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently until the garlic becomes fragrant but remains pale. Remove from heat to prevent browning.

            Combine with Parmesan: Once your wings are baked to a golden crisp, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the hot wings. Immediately sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Toss everything together until the wings are thoroughly coated in the sauce, cheese, and parsley.

              Serve: Plate your delicious Garlic Parmesan Baked Wings generously, garnishing with additional parsley for a pop of color. Serve alongside fresh lemon wedges for a zesty squeeze that will elevate the flavors of this savory dish. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or as is!
