- Bake in the Oven: Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and then place a wire rack on top. Layer wings in a single layer, skin side-down, being careful that none of the skin is touching. (You can also place them directly onto parchment paper, but they won't come out nearly as crispy!) Bake wings in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through. Optionally, broil wings on a high broil for 2-4 minutes.*
- Serve Wings: Sprinkle wings with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley. Serve wings immediately with ranch or Italian dressing and enjoy!Fresh parsley, Italian or Ranch dressing

Notes
- Cheese: Make sure you use GRATED Parmesan cheese, and not shredded, for best results.
- Crispy skin: Broil your chicken wings skin-side-up for the crispiest skin.
- Oil: You only need to lightly coat the wing portions, so make sure you don't overdo it.
- Starch: A tablespoon or two of cornstarch is the secret ingredient that helps the wings crisp up when baked in the oven.
- High heat: A relatively high-heat oven helps the skin to crisp up quickly while the inside becomes tender.
