Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the trimmed chicken wings and then add 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 ½ teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Toss well so the wings are evenly coated.
  • Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure the wings do not touch.
  • Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Flip each wing and bake for an additional 20 minutes (40 minutes total).
  • While the wings bake, melt 4 tablespoons butter in a shallow microwave-safe bowl. In a clean bowl combine 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning, and 1/4–1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper; mix well.
  • Remove the wings from the oven. One at a time, dip each wing into the melted butter, let excess butter drip off, then roll the wing in the Parmesan mixture to coat. Place coated wings back on the baking sheet.
  • Return the coated wings to the oven and bake 5 to 10 minutes more, until the coating is golden and set.
  • Remove the wings and immediately sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.

Notes

Notes
“Trimmed wings” are wings that have any excess skin flaps trimmed off, so they look more appealing. You can buy them trimmed or do it yourself.
Leftovers from this baked chicken wings recipe will keep well for
up to 3 days
in the refrigerator. Cool them completely before transferring them to an airtight container and placing in the fridge.
Reheat the wings in the oven at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes until crispy and hot. Or, if you can, I highly recommend
reheating them in the air fryer.
