• 5 g dried oregano

• 5 g dried parsley

• 2 g chili flakes (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Wings

Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels. Removing moisture is key to achieving a crispy texture.

In a large bowl, combine salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking powder (if baking). Toss the wings in olive oil, then coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.

Step 2: Cook the Wings

Option 1: Baking (Healthier Method)
Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
Arrange wings on a wire rack placed over a baking tray. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and golden brown. 🔥

Option 2: Frying (Extra Crispy)
Heat oil to 180°C (350°F).
Fry wings in batches for 8–10 minutes until deep golden and fully cooked. Drain on paper towels.

Step 3: Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (do not brown).

Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan, oregano, parsley, and chili flakes.

Step 4: Coat the Wings

Place the hot wings in a large bowl and pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over them. Toss gently until fully coated and glistening.
