Ingredients
-
- 2 pounds chicken wings, cut into drumettes and wingettes
- 2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 2 teaspoons sea salt
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 1½ teaspoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon ground white pepper (or black pepper)
-
- Garlic Parmesan Coating:
- 6 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional Garnish:
- Chopped parsley
Instructions
- For Baked Wings: Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment and place a rack on top. Spray the rack with nonstick spray.
- Pat wings dry with a paper towel and place in a large bowl. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of melted butter and toss to coat.
- In a small bowl, mix sea salt, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, dried basil, and white pepper. Sprinkle over wings and rub in gently.
- Arrange wings in a single layer on the prepared rack. Bake for 40–50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- While baking, mix the remaining 6 tablespoons of melted butter with minced garlic in a bowl.
- Remove baked wings from the oven and toss in the garlic butter mixture. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the wings.
- Return wings to the oven for a few minutes until Parmesan is lightly browned.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with ranch dressing if desired.
- For Air Fryer Wings: Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Repeat seasoning and butter steps as above. Arrange wings in an even layer in the air fryer (cook in batches if needed).
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes per side, flipping halfway through, until wings reach 165°F internally.
- Toss wings in garlic butter, sprinkle with Parmesan, and air fry 2–3 more minutes until cheese is lightly browned.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Patting the wings dry ensures crispiness.
- Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet or air fryer to allow even cooking.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor.
- Serve with ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
