Ingredients

1 pound chicken wings separate flats and drumettes, discard or save wings tips for chicken stock
4 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
1 ½ cups parmesan cheese freshly grated, plus more for garnish
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
2-3 sprigs parsley finely minced, for garnish

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, toss together the melted butter and chicken wings. Make sure to coat chicken wings evenly with the butter.
In another mixing bowl mix together 1 ½ cups of the grated parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Carefully coat the chicken wings with the parmesan spice mixture, gently press to adhere. Then arrange the wings on the baking pan about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the oven until the skin turns golden brown, approximately 20 to 25 minutes until an internal temperature reaches 165°F. Flip the wings over halfway through so they brown evenly.
Serve immediately and garnish with minced parsley and the extra parmesan on top. Serve with parmesan or ranch dressing on the side for dipping.

Notes

If you don't want to break down wings you can use wingettes for these.
Frozen wings can be used, but make sure you defrost them overnight, it gives the best results.
Make sure you use freshly grated parmesan cheese, this helps with the crispy coating.
