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

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with foil and a wire rack.
  2. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange wings on the wire rack and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy.
  5. While wings bake, whisk together melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley in a large bowl.
  6. Once wings are cooked, transfer them immediately to the bowl with the butter mixture.
  7. 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.
