- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp dried thyme
- 1/2 tsp dried chives
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Pat the chicken wings very dry with paper towels.
- Toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Arrange in a single layer on a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
- Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy and the chicken reaches 165°F internally.
- While the wings cook, combine melted butter, garlic, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, lemon zest, paprika, cayenne, parsley, thyme, chives, and black pepper.
- Transfer the hot wings to a large bowl. Pour the cowboy butter over them and toss until thoroughly coated.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra-crispy wings, refrigerate the seasoned uncovered wings for 1–2 hours before baking to help dry the skin.
