Follow these simple steps to create incredible Cowboy Butter Chicken Wings:

1. Prep the Wings: Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Place them in a large bowl.
2. Make the Marinade: In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Marinate: Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, ensuring they are well-coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow them to marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for deeper flavors.
4. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
5. Line a Baking Sheet: Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. Place a wire rack on top of it.
6. Arrange the Wings: Remove the wings from the marinade and arrange them in a single layer on the wire rack. This helps them cook evenly and crisp up nicely.
7. Bake: Place the wings in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
8. Baste for Extra Flavor: Optional – During the last 5-10 minutes of baking, you can baste the wings with any remaining marinade for added flavor and moisture.
9. Broil for Crispness: If you desire extra crispiness, switch to broil mode for the last 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning.
10. Garnish: Once done, remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before garnishing with freshly chopped parsley.
