Ingredients
- 4 pounds chicken wings cut in half crosswise into pieces
- ¼ cup butter
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange a non-stick, oven-safe rack on top of the paper.
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat on the stovetop. Then pour into a large bowl. In a second large bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Toss the wing pieces in melted butter, then roll in the cheese and herb mixture.
- Arrange the coated wings in a single layer on the rack over the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes until they turn golden and crispy. Remove from the oven, cool briefly, and serve warm.

Notes
- Use paper towels to remove excess moisture from the wings before baking to make sure they turn out extra crispy.
- Use what you have on hand. Try fresh basil, thyme, oregano, rosemary, cilantro, dill, sage, and even an Italian herb blend are all ideal options. This recipe is very forgiving!
- DIY blends like homemade ranch seasoning are great for rubbing over the wings for extra flavor.
- Spread the wings in a single layer with space between them on the baking sheet to help them crisp up evenly.
- Sprinkle the cheese before and after baking for layers of cheesy flavor and texture.
- Adjust the salt carefully since Parmesan is already naturally salty. Do a taste test first before adding more.
