Ingredients
2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and wings separated into drumettes and flats
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 lemon, cut into wedges
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and cayenne pepper.
Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss well to coat all pieces evenly with the spice mixture.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching.
Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crisping.
After 30 minutes, increase the oven temperature to broil and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and golden brown. Watch closely to prevent burning.
Remove the wings from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Serve the wings hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
