Directions
I start by preheating the oven to 200°C (400°F) and lining a baking tray.

I arrange the wings in a single layer on the tray.
I bake for about 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are crispy and golden.

I toss the cooked wings in the garlic parmesan mixture until well coated.
I serve them hot.
