Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds whole chicken wings, tips removed if preferred
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (about 100 grams)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 ml)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (5 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (2.5 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (2 grams)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (1.5 grams)
  • 1 teaspoon salt (5 grams), adjust to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (1 gram)
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly using paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the wings in a single layer without overlapping.
  5. Bake the wings for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through (around 18-20 minutes) to ensure even cooking and browning.
  6. While the wings bake, combine the grated Parmesan cheese with a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes in a bowl.
  7. Once the wings are out of the oven and still hot, transfer them to a clean bowl and toss immediately with the Parmesan mixture to coat evenly.
  8. Serve promptly, garnished with chopped parsley or extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

Dry wings thoroughly before seasoning to ensure crispiness. Use a wire rack to allow air circulation and fat drainage for the best crunch. Flip wings halfway through baking for even browning. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese sticks better and provides superior flavor compared to pre-grated. For extra crispiness, broil wings for 2-3 minutes after coating but watch closely to avoid burning. Check internal temperature to ensure wings reach 165°F (74°C).
