# What You'll Need:
→ Chicken
01 - 1.5 lbs chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
02 - 1 tablespoon olive oil
03 - 1 teaspoon kosher salt
04 - ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
05 - ½ teaspoon garlic powder
06 - ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

07 - 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
08 - 4 cloves garlic, minced
09 - ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
10 - ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

# How to Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.
02 - Pat chicken wings thoroughly dry with paper towels. Toss wings with olive oil, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
03 - Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through cooking, until wings are crispy and golden brown.
04 - While wings bake, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Stir in crushed red pepper flakes. Remove from heat.
05 - Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl. Pour warm garlic butter over wings and toss to coat thoroughly.
06 - Add Parmesan cheese and parsley to the bowl. Toss wings again until evenly coated with cheese and herbs.
07 - Serve wings hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley if desired.
