Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top to allow for airflow.
Prep the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
Arrange on Rack: Place the coated wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Bake the Wings: Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning the wings halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Make the Sauce: While the wings bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan and chopped parsley. Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist if desired.
Coat the Wings: Once the wings are baked, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat.
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the wings to a serving platter, garnish with extra parsley and Parmesan cheese, and serve with your favorite dipping sauces.

Notes

Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes to the sauce for a spicy version.

Herb Infusion: Experiment with adding dried herbs like oregano or thyme to the seasoning mix for extra flavor.

Cheese Alternatives: Try using Asiago or Romano cheese instead of Parmesan for a unique twist.
