Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Parmesan mixture
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- ¼ cup parsley chopped
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, this will save you from scrubbing the baking pan until tomorrow.
- Season the wings generously with salt, pepper and the ½ tsp of garlic powder. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking pan.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the oven on the middle rack and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until they're golden crisp.
- While wings are baking, mix all the Parmesan mixture ingredients together in a small bowl.
- When the wings are done baking, transfer them to a bowl right away. Dump the Parmesan mixture over the wings and toss well, making sure each wing is fully covered with the Parmesan mixture. Serve right away.

Notes
- Dry the wings well. Patting them dry before seasoning makes a huge difference in how crispy they get.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan. Space between the wings lets heat circulate so they roast instead of steam.
- Bake hot. 425°F (220°C) is key for rendering fat and crisping the skin properly.
- Add Parmesan after baking. Tossing the wings while they’re hot lets the cheese stick without burning.
- Serve immediately. These wings are at their best fresh from the oven while the skin is still crisp.
