Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried Italian herb blend (e.g., oregano, basil, thyme)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional: hot sauce (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). While it's heating, line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to keep cleanup simple.

    Prepare the Wings: To ensure your wings turn out crispy, pat them dry thoroughly using paper towels. In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried Italian herbs. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are completely coated.

      Arrange the Wings: Lay the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure to leave some space between each wing to allow for even cooking and crispness.

        Bake the Wings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wings for approximately 40-45 minutes. Halfway through the baking time, flip the wings to ensure they crisp evenly. They should emerge from the oven golden brown and crispy.

          Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes, just until fragrant—take care not to let it burn. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the mixture is well combined and smooth.

            Coat the Wings: Once the wings are done baking and have achieved that perfect crispiness, remove them from the oven. Immediately drizzle the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings, and toss gently to ensure each wing is generously coated.

              Garnish: Transfer the wings to a serving platter. For a fresh and vibrant touch, sprinkle the chopped parsley generously over the wings.

                Serve: Serve your Garlic Parmesan Baked Wings while they’re hot and crispy. For an added kick, consider providing a side of hot sauce for those who enjoy a bit of heat!
