Ingredients

3 lbs chicken wings
1 tsp. baking powder
4 Tbsp salted butter

In a medium bowl combine the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and dried parsley flakes. Toss to combine. Add the butter olive oil garlic mixture to the Parmesan cheese mixture and mix well to combine. Toss the hot wings in the garlic Parmesan mixture.
