- 2-3 lbs chicken wings, broken down into flats and drumettes
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 clove of garlic finely chopped
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan plus 1-2 Tbsp, for serving
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
Season the chicken. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Pat the wings dry with a paper towel. Place in a large bowl, then season with 2 tsp baking powder, 2 tsp garlic powder, 1½ tsp Kosher salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper. Toss to combine. Place the wings on a foil lined baking sheet on top of a wire rack. Keep the wings in a single layer with a little space in between each.
Roast the wings. Cook the wings until the skin is crispy and the meat reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C), about 40-45 minutes, flipping once halfway through.
Make the garlic parmesan sauce. With 5 minutes left in the cook time, make the sauce. Melt 4 Tbsp unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add 3 Tbsp chopped garlic and ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Stir well, then set aside.
Toss with sauce. Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. While hot, pour the garlic parmesan sauce on top. Toss well to thoroughly coat, then sprinkle with remaining 2 Tbsp grated parmesan and 2 Tbsp chopped parsley. Give a final toss. Serve immediately!
