  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Wings and Seasoning

  • 3 pounds chicken wings (wings and drumettes)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (optional, do not use baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • 1½ teaspoons salt (divided)
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper (divided)

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 5 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 5 tablespoons butter
  • ⅓ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese (plus more for serving)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (minced)
  • 3-4 dashes hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Baking Sheet: Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup and place a wire rack over it. Grease the rack well. If you don’t have a rack, line the sheet with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray.
  2. Dry the Wings: Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels to ensure crispiness, then transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Mix Dry Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Coat Wings in Seasoning: Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wings and toss thoroughly until all wings are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange and Bake Wings: Lay the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack, making sure they don’t overlap. Bake for 40 minutes, flipping them once halfway through, until the skin is golden and crisp and internal temperature reaches at least 175°F.
  6. Broil for Crispness: Switch the oven to broil on high and cook the wings for an additional 3-4 minutes until browned and extra crisp. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  7. Prepare Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings are baking, heat olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add butter and melt completely, then remove from heat.
  8. Finish the Sauce: Stir in freshly grated parmesan cheese, minced parsley, optional hot sauce, and the remaining ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper into the butter mixture.
  9. Toss Wings in Sauce and Serve: Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl, pour the warm sauce over them, and toss until they are evenly coated. Serve immediately with extra parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

  • Patting the wings dry before coating with baking powder helps achieve extra crispy skin.
  • Baking powder is not the same as baking soda; use baking powder only to avoid off flavors.
  • Use a wire rack to allow air circulation around the wings for even crispiness.
  • Watch the wings carefully during broiling to prevent burning.
  • Adjust hot sauce quantity to your preferred spice level or omit entirely.
  • For even more flavor, let the wings marinate in the seasoning mixture for 30 minutes before baking.
