Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

1 tbsp baking powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

½ tsp paprika

½ cup unsalted butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for crisping the wings.

    Prepare the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated. The baking powder will help to make the wings extra crispy.

      Arrange on Rack: Lay the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching each other.

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

          Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic. Remove from heat and stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning (if using).

            Coat the Wings: Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the hot wings, tossing them until they are fully coated.

              Garnish and Serve: Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing.
