Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split at the joints and tips removed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: Chopped fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
- Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

- Bake the Chicken Wings:
- Arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not touching each other too closely.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even browning.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
- Coat the Wings:
- Once the chicken wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
- Serve:
- Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
- Serve the garlic parmesan wings hot, and enjoy!
