Ingredients
- 2 – 2 ½ pounds chicken wings trimmed (sometimes called party wings)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ teaspoon garlic powder divided
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided (not shredded)
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Set out a large baking sheet, and line it with parchment paper or foil.
- Set out a large mixing bowl. Place the trimmed chicken wings into the bowl. Add in 1 tablespoon cornstarch, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Toss well to coat the wings in the dry mixture. Then lay the wings out on the baking sheet in an even layer, making sure the wings do not touch.
- Place the baking sheet in the hot oven and bake the wings for 20 minutes. Then flip the wings over and bake for another 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a shallow microwave-safe bowl and set aside. Then set out a clean mixing bowl and combine 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper to taste. Mix well.
- Once the wings have baked for 40 minutes, remove them from the oven. One at a time, dunk each wing in the melted butter, tap off the excess, and then roll it in the Parmesan cheese mixture. Set each wing back on the baking sheet.
- Once all the wings are coated in the Parmesan mixture, place them back in the oven to bake an additional 5 to 10 minutes, until golden.
- When the wings come out of the oven, sprinkle the tops with the remaining quarter cup of Parmesan cheese. Serve warm, as is, or with dipping sauces like ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or garlicy Caesar dressing!

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.
