Ingredients
– 2 pounds chicken wings
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Making Garlic Parmesan Wings is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature will help achieve crispy wings.
2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
3. Pat Dry: Use paper towels to thoroughly pat the chicken wings dry. This step is crucial for achieving crispy skin.
4. Season Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning to ensure they are evenly coated.
5. Combine Garlic Butter: In another bowl, mix the melted butter and minced garlic together until well combined.
6. Coat Wings: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the wings and toss to coat them completely.
7. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they aren’t touching so they can crisp up properly.
8. Bake: Place the wings in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
9. Add Parmesan: After baking, remove the wings from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over them.
10. Final Bake: Return the wings to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
11. Garnish: Once done, remove the wings from the oven and let them sit for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color.
12. Serve: Transfer the wings to a serving platter and enjoy them fresh!
