• Here’s a sneak peek into making these wings: you’ll bread them, bake them, toss them in a delicious buttery sauce, and then serve. Sounds simple, right? But, trust me, the process behind each step ensures the tastiest wings you’ve ever had.

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

• First, crank up that oven to 400°F (200°C). Preheating is vital as it sets the stage for that perfect crispy texture.

Step 2: Prepare the Baking Sheet

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. This makes clean-up a breeze. Now, place a wire rack on top. This rack allows hot air to circulate around the wings, giving them that amazing, crispy finish.

Step 3: Dry the Wings

• Pat those chicken wings dry using paper towels. This step is critical. Removing excess moisture leads to crispier wings. Trust me; the dry rub will cling better.

Step 4: Season the Wings

• In a large bowl, mix the baking powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Toss the dried wings in this spice blend until they’re evenly coated. This seasoning mix is the secret behind that fantastic flavor!

Step 5: Bake the Wings

• Spread the seasoned wings on the wire rack in a single layer. Pop them into the preheated oven and bake for about 40-45 minutes. Make sure to flip them halfway for even cooking. They should be golden brown and crispy, dream-worthy wings.

Step 6: Make the Garlic Butter Sauce

• While your wings are baking, it’s time to whip up that garlic butter sauce. In a bowl, combine melted butter, grated garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, cayenne pepper, and honey. This sauce will coat your wings with savory goodness.

Step 7: Toss the Wings in Sauce

• Once the wings are done, take them out of the oven. Toss them in the garlic butter sauce, ensuring each wing is deliciously coated. Feel free to add more Parmesan; there’s no such thing as too much!

Step 8: Serve and Enjoy

• Arrange your wings on a platter, sprinkle a little extra parsley for color, and serve. Those waiting will rejoice, and you’ll be the kitchen hero!
