Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried basil

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Chicken Wings: Pat the chicken wings with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This helps them get crispy. Season the wings with salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil in a large bowl.

      Make the Garlic Butter Mixture: In a separate small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well to combine.

        Coat the Wings: Pour the garlic butter mixture over the seasoned wings. Toss until all the wings are evenly coated.

          Bake the Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

            Add Parmesan: Remove the wings from the oven, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese generously over the hot wings, and return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes until the cheese melts and becomes slightly crispy.

              Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty kick.
