Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

4 lbs chicken wings patted completely dry with a paper towel
1 tbsp baking powder do not substitute with baking soda
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
0.25 cup parmesan cheese freshly grated
3 garlic cloves minced
1 tbsp honey
fresh chopped parsley and extra grated parmesan for garnish, optional

Equipment

Rimmed baking sheet
Parchment paper or aluminum foil
Cooking spray
Large ziplock bag
Medium mixing bowl
whisk

Method

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Add the wings to a large ziplock bag. Add the baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Seal and shake until every wing is evenly coated.
Arrange the coated wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer with space between each piece. Do not overlap the wings.
Bake for 45 to 50 minutes until the skin is deep golden brown and the meat is fully cooked through. For extra crispiness, leave them a few minutes past the 45-minute mark.
About 5 minutes before the wings finish baking, whisk together the melted butter, parmesan, minced garlic, and honey in a medium bowl until fully combined.
Transfer the hot wings into the sauce bowl and toss until every wing is well coated. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated parmesan. Serve immediately for the crispiest results.

Notes

Baking powder is essential for crispy skin and cannot be swapped for baking soda. Pat wings completely dry before coating. Do not overlap wings on the baking sheet. Toss wings in sauce right before serving for best results. Reheat leftovers in oven at 350 degrees F for 10 to 20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
