Preheat your oven to 425℉. This high temperature is crucial for achieving crispy wings. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper; this will save you from scrubbing later.
Take the chicken wings and season them generously with salt, pepper, and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Make sure every wing is well coated for maximum flavor.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding them; this helps in getting that lovely crunch.
Now it’s time to bake! Place the wings in the oven and bake for about 40 to 45 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you want them to be golden and crispy.
While the wings are baking, prepare the Parmesan mixture. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, remaining garlic powder, and red pepper chili flakes. Mix well to combine.
Once the wings are done baking, take them out of the oven, and transfer them to a large bowl. Immediately dump the Parmesan mixture over the hot wings.
Toss the wings gently but thoroughly to ensure each wing is fully coated with the cheesy goodness. You want that flavor to cling to every bite!
Serve the wings immediately while they are hot and crispy. You can garnish with some chopped parsley for an extra crunch of flavor.
Enjoy your Crispy Baked Parmesan Chicken Wings with your favorite dipping sauce, and watch them disappear!
