Ingredients:

  • 7 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp baking powder not baking soda!
  • Sauce
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese plus additional for topping
  • 1 tbsp minced parsley

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with foil. Place an oven-safe cooling wire rack on top of each baking sheet and generously spray racks with cooking oil spray.
  2. Pat the wings dry with paper towels.
  3. In a large bowl, add wings and sprinkle with salt and baking powder. Toss the wings until they are evenly coated in the baking powder and salt.
  4. Place the wings side by side onto the cooling racks. They should be close together but not touching each other.
  5. Bake for 30 minutes in the lower half section of the oven. After 30 minutes, the wings should look smaller. Take wings out of the oven and set aside.
  6. Raise oven temperature to 425°F. Place wings back into the oven, this time in the upper middle section of the oven. Bake wings for about 50 minutes. Wings should be golden brown and when you touch the skin, it should feel crispy.
  7. Allow the wings to cool for about 10 minutes, which should crisp the skin even more.
  8. While wings are cooling, make the sauce.
  9. In a small saucepan, add butter, garlic and 1/4 cup cheese. Stir and cook until butter is melted. Use a pastry or basting brush and brush wings generously with sauce, making sure to brush on the garlic powder and cheese.
  10. Sprinkle wings with additional parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve while wings are still warm and crispy. They taste great on their own or with a side of ranch dressing.
