Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings, split
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with foil and a wire rack.
- Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange wings on the wire rack and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
- While wings bake, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a large bowl.
- Once wings are cooked, transfer them immediately to the bowl with the butter mixture.
- Add the parmesan cheese and toss until the wings are thoroughly coated and serve warm.
Tips
- Patting the wings dry is the most important step for achieving crispy skin in the oven.
- Adding baking powder helps draw out moisture and creates a crispier texture without deep frying.
- Use freshly grated parmesan for the best melting consistency and flavor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I air fry these wings?
Yes, air fry at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
The butter and garlic mixture can be made ahead, but add the parmesan only when ready to toss the hot wings.
How do I ensure the wings stay crispy?
Serve them immediately after tossing in the sauce, as the butter coating can soften the skin if left to sit too long.
