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 the 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: Season the chicken wings generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Arrange them in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to ensure even cooking. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the wings are golden brown and crispy, turning them halfway through if desired.
- Prepare Parmesan Mixture: While the wings bake, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. This mixture will add a flavorful and spicy kick to the wings.
- Toss Wings in Parmesan Mixture: Once the wings are baked, transfer them to a large bowl. Immediately add the Parmesan mixture and toss thoroughly until each wing is evenly coated with the flavorful mixture. Serve the wings hot for the best taste and crispiness.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, watching them closely to prevent burning.
- Adjust red pepper flakes to control the heat level of the wings.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure the wings are arranged in a single layer to ensure they crisp up nicely.
- Leftover wings can be reheated in the oven to maintain their crispiness.
