Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings (drumettes and flats separated, tips removed)
  • 2 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional, for added heat)
  • ½ stick (57 g) unsalted butter
  • 2 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line your half-sheet baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, kosher salt, onion powder, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes if using.
  4. Arrange the wings on the prepared sheet pan, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
  5. Bake the wings for 30 minutes, then flip them and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until golden.
  6. Meanwhile, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan, add minced garlic and parsley; stir well.
  7. Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the garlic butter sauce until evenly coated and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, use a mix of flats and drumettes. Allow wings to rest for a few minutes after baking to enhance tenderness.
