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 (oregano, basil, thyme)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

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

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Optional: hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness. In a large bowl, combine olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and the Italian herb blend. Toss the wings in this mixture until well coated.

      Arrange the wings: Place the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure there is space between each wing to allow for proper airflow and crispiness.

        Bake the wings: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through. They should be golden brown and crispy.

          Prepare the garlic Parmesan sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant (do not let it burn). Remove from heat, and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

            Coat the wings: Once the wings are baked and crispy, remove them from the oven and immediately pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings, tossing well to coat.

              Garnish: Transfer the wings to a serving platter and sprinkle chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.

                Serve: Enjoy your Garlic Parmesan Baked Wings hot and crispy. Optionally, serve with a side of hot sauce for an extra kick!
