Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings, cleaned and patted dry

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

5 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried parsley)

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for a kick)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, onion powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes if you’re using them. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated.

      Bake the Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

        Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic Parmesan sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.

          Coat the Wings: Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them in the garlic Parmesan sauce until fully coated.

            Final Bake: Return the sauced wings to the baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes to allow the sauce to set and enhance the flavors.

              Serve and Enjoy: Remove the wings from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Serve with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
