Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: Hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top for optimal air circulation while baking.

    Prepare the Chicken Wings: Rinse and pat dry the chicken wings thoroughly. This step is crucial for achieving crispiness.

      Season the Wings: In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Toss the chicken wings in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.

        Arrange Wings: Place the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Ensure that they are not touching to guarantee even cooking and crispiness.

          Bake the Wings: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Prepare Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

              Combine Wings and Sauce: Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and toss them in the garlic Parmesan sauce until they are coated evenly.

                Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side if you like a little kick!
