Ingredients

  • 2 pounds chicken wings/drumsticks about 18 pieces
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon finely ground salt I used pink Himalayan
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 heaping teaspoons minced garlic about 4 cloves
  • 3 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • Parsley for garnish-optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 250° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and top with a wire rack. Lightly spray rack with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, mix the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, onion powder, basil, and baking powder unFl well combined.
  • Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel, getting them as dry as possible, and add them to a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the chicken and toss well to coat.
  • Place wings on wire rack making sure not to crowd them and bake for 25 minutes.
  • Leave the wings in the oven and turn the heat up to 450° F. Continue to bake for 30-40 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through, or unFl the chicken is crispy and reaches an internal temperature of 165° F.
  • Allow the wings to rest at room temperature for 5 minutes while you make the sauce.
  • In a small saucepan over low, heat the butter and minced garlic until the butter is melted and beginning to bubble.
  • Using a basting brush, brush both sides of each chicken wing with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
  • Serve immediately. (Serve extra garlic butter on the side for dipping!)

Notes

  • Pat the wings dry before seasoning them. This helps to remove excess moisture and will help them to crisp up.
  • Bake the wings on a rack over a baking tray. This will help to get the wings crispy all over and the tray will catch any juices.
