1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This will help the wings cook evenly and get that lovely crispy texture.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, and pepper until they are well-coated.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking.
4. While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to let the garlic burn!
5. Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the Parmesan cheese and dried parsley until well combined.
6. Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter mixture over the wings and toss until each wing is thoroughly coated.
7. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle a little extra Parmesan on top for good measure. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Pro tip: If you want even crispier wings, pop them under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
