Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 pounds chicken wings Separate flats and drums for even cooking.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Adds richness and helps the coating stick.
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese Freshly grated for optimal flavor.

  • 1 teaspoon salt Enhances overall flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter and chicken wings, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  4. If wings are ice cold, allow them to warm slightly before mixing with melted butter.
  5. In another bowl, mix grated parmesan and seasoning.
  6. Carefully coat chicken wings with the parmesan spice mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Cooking
  1. Place wings on the baking pan about 2 inches apart.
  2. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until skin is golden brown, rotating the pan halfway through.
Serving
  1. Garnish with minced parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use freshly grated parmesan. You may add cayenne for heat and double the recipe for a crowd. Allow wings to rest for maximum juiciness after baking.
