1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Pat wings dry and separate flats/drumettes.

3. Marinate for 30 minutes to overnight.

4. Preheat oven to 400°F.

Notes

Patting wings dry is essential for crispy skin.

Using a wire rack improves air circulation for even baking.

Broiling is optional but highly recommended for better texture.
