Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder optional
  • 2 pounds chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup parsley finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and position the rack in the center of the oven. In a small mixing bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and baking powder if using. Arrange the chicken wings in a baking dish and evenly distribute the spice blend over them, ensuring each wing is well coated. Drizzle the olive oil atop the seasoned wings and place the dish in the oven to bake for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and add the minced garlic along with the chopped parsley, stirring until the garlic becomes aromatic. Once the wings have baked, remove them from the oven and generously pour the garlic butter sauce over them. Scatter the freshly grated Parmesan across the wings and return the dish to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the wings to crisp up further.

Notes

TO STORE: Seal any leftover wings in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
TO FREEZE: Store cooled wings in a shallow container and freeze for up to 6 months.
TO REHEAT: Rewarm in the oven or air fryer for best texture; avoid using a microwave to preserve crispiness
