Let’s dive into the steps to make these wings a reality:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely. Toss them in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
4. Place the coated wings on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they’re spaced apart for even cooking.
5. Bake the wings for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they’re golden brown and crispy.
6. While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
7. Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the garlic butter over the wings and toss to coat.
8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the wings, tossing again to ensure an even coating.
9. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.

Remember, the secret to perfect wings is patience—letting them bake until they’re just right. My grandmother often reminded me that good food takes time, and these wings are no exception.
