Ingredients

For the Wings:

• ½ tablespoon avocado oil
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon kosher sea salt
• ½ teaspoon Jane’s Krazy Mix-Up Seasoning – Chunky Garlic
• ½ teaspoon Jane’s Krazy Mix-Up Seasoning – Pepper
• ½ teaspoon Country Onion Herb seasoning (from Savory Spice, Birkdale)
• ¼ teaspoon paprika
• ½ to 1 teaspoon black garlic salt (from Savory Spice, Birkdale)

Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

• ½ cup high-quality butter, melted
• 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced
• Zest of 1 whole lemon
• 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
• 1 tablespoon chives (fresh or dried)
• ¼ to ½ cup grated parmesan cheese (plus extra for garnish)
• ½ to 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)

Dipping Sauce (Optional):

• Caesar dressing or chunky blue cheese dressing

Directions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prep the Wings:
   Pat wings dry thoroughly. Place in a large mixing bowl.
3. Season:
   In a separate bowl, combine avocado oil, baking powder, and all dry seasonings. Toss wings until evenly coated.
4. Bake:
   Arrange wings in a single layer on the baking sheet.
   Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
5. Make the Sauce:
   In a bowl, combine garlic, lemon zest, parsley, and chives.
   Pour melted butter over the mixture and stir well.
6. Toss the Wings:
   Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl (or a heavy-duty plastic bag).
   Drizzle with garlic butter sauce, add parmesan, and toss until fully coated.
7. Serve:
   Plate the wings and top with extra parmesan.
   Serve with celery, carrots, and your favorite dressing.

Air Fryer Option

Cook wings at 400°F for 20 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crispy.

Pro Tip:
You can always add more heat—but you can’t take it away. Start light on the red pepper flakes and build from there.
