Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over it. This will help the wings cook evenly and become crispy.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is important to ensure they crisp up nicely in the oven.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Step 5
While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic parmesan coating. In a medium skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil and minced garlic. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt.
Step 6
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Step 7
After the first 20 minutes of baking, remove the wings from the oven and flip them. Return them to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove the wings from the oven and place them in a large clean bowl. Pour the garlic parmesan mixture over the wings and toss to coat them evenly.
Step 9
Serve the wings hot, garnished with extra parsley if desired, and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the wings.
