Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Toss the wings in a large bowl with baking powder, salt, pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Stir in the lemon juice (if using) and set aside.
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter sauce over the wings and toss until well coated.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley for garnish and serve immediately.
Notes
