Ingredients

4 lbs Chicken wings thawed
4 tsp Kosher salt
4 tsp Baking powder
1 stick Butter unsalted
2 tbsp Olive oil
6 cloves Garlic minced
2 tsp All purpose flour
1 tsp Red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Parsley chopped
6 tbsp Parmesan cheese Or romano, or a mix
Carrots optional, garnish
Celery optional, garnish

Instructions

Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and place them in a large bowl. Mix kosher salt and baking powder in a small bowl, then sprinkle over the wings and toss to coat evenly. Arrange the wings on a wire rack placed over a foil-lined baking sheet, ensuring the wings don’t touch, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
4 lbs Chicken wings, 4 tsp Kosher salt, 4 tsp Baking powder
Preheat the oven to 450°F. Lightly oil or spray the baking rack to prevent sticking, then place the wings back on the rack, ensuring they are spaced out for even cooking. Bake for 20-25 minutes, then flip the wings and bake for another 20-25 minutes, until golden brown. Broil for 1-2 minutes at the end for extra crispiness if desired.
While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in the olive oil, then add minced garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. Whisk in the flour and cook for an additional minute, followed by the red pepper flakes. Cook for another minute, then remove the sauce from the heat.
1 stick Butter, 2 tbsp Olive oil, 6 cloves Garlic, 2 tsp All purpose flour, 1 tsp Red pepper flakes
Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl and pour half the garlic butter sauce over them. Toss well to coat, then add the remaining sauce and toss again until the wings are evenly covered. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, tossing gently to coat.
1 tbsp Parsley, 6 tbsp Parmesan cheese
Serve immediately with celery, carrots, and your favorite dipping sauces, or enjoy them on their own.
Carrots, Celery

Notes

Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 375°F for 10-15 minutes or in an air fryer at 400°F for 5-7 minutes to restore crispiness. Toss with additional sauce if needed before serving.
