- 2 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (finely grated)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Pat the chicken wings very dry using paper towels. This step is key for crispiness.
- In a medium bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Place the dried wings in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat lightly.
- Add the Parmesan mixture to the wings. Toss until every piece is evenly coated with the dry mixture.
- Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or rack, ensuring they do not touch.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Flip the wings over. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes, or until the wings are deep golden brown and very crispy.
- Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use a wire rack set over the baking sheet so air circulates underneath the wings.
- If you prefer an air fryer, cook at 380°F (195°C) for 18-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Do not skip drying the wings; excess moisture prevents the coating from crisping.
