Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 1 pound chicken wings split
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes plus additional to taste, optional
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
For the Sauce:
- ¼ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese plus additional for serving
- Lemon wedges for serving
- chopped fresh parsley for serving
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400°F.
- In a large bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, dried parsley, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Add the wings and oil and toss to coat in the seasoning blend.
- Arrange the wings on a large rimmed baking sheet, giving them plenty of space. Bake until crisp and golden, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the parmesan, garlic powder, and salt and stir until melted and smooth. Stir in the parsley.
- When the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl and toss with the sauce to coat. Garnish with additional parmesan, parsley, and a squeeze of lemon and serve.

Notes
- AIR FRYER: Season the wings as directed in Step 2. Air fry in a single layer at 360°F for 24 minutes, flipping halfway through (ensure the wings do not touch and cook in batches if needed). Slide out the basket, flip the wings once more, then increase the air fryer to 390°F. Cook the wings for 6 minutes more, flipping halfway through. Toss with the sauce as directed.
- TO STORE: These wings will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days, but they're far better when hot and fresh out of the oven.
- TO REHEAT: Reheat the wings in the oven or air fryer at 350ºF until warmed through and crispy. You can also reheat them in the microwave, but they will lose some of their crispiness and be more likely to go rubbery on you.
- TO FREEZE: Although it's not ideal (because, again: best fresh and hot!), you can freeze any leftover cooked wings for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and then follow the reheating instructions above.
