Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Parmesan Mixture
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Season and Bake Wings: Season the chicken wings generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Make Parmesan Mixture: While the wings are baking, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, mixing well to combine the flavors.
- Toss and Serve: Once the wings are baked, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the Parmesan mixture and toss thoroughly until each wing is evenly coated. Serve immediately for best flavor and crispiness.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry with paper towels before seasoning and baking.
- You can adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the level of spiciness.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese works best for flavor and texture.
- Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing if desired.
