# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 1.5 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
→ Garlic Parmesan Sauce
07 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
08 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
09 - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
10 - ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.
02 - Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Toss wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway, until crispy and golden brown.
04 - While wings are baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1–2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes if using. Remove from heat.
05 - Once wings are cooked, transfer to a large bowl. Pour the warm garlic butter over the wings and toss to coat.
06 - Add Parmesan cheese and parsley; toss again until evenly coated.
07 - Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and parsley if desired.
