Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Parmesan Coating
- 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 Oven: 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: Generously season the chicken wings with salt, pepper, and ½ teaspoon 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.
- Prepare Parmesan Mixture: While the wings bake, combine Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl to create a flavorful coating.
- Toss and Serve: Once the wings are baked, transfer them to a large bowl. Add the Parmesan mixture and toss thoroughly to ensure the wings are evenly coated. Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, pat the wings dry with paper towels before seasoning.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control the spice level according to your preference.
- Fresh parsley adds a bright flavor, but dried parsley can be substituted in a pinch.
- Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping if desired.
- Ensure wings are spaced apart on the baking sheet for even cooking and crisping.
