Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cowboy Butter Chicken Wings
  1. Start by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water, then pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine melted unsalted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until smooth.
  3. Pour the marinade over the chicken wings, toss gently, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  5. Arrange the marinated wings in a single layer on the wire rack and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
  6. For extra flavor, baste the wings with leftover marinade during the last 5-10 minutes of baking.
  7. For an even crispier finish, broil for the last 3-5 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
