Method
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. This setup helps the wings cook evenly and crisp up.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, chopped parsley, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the cowboy butter sauce.
- Add the chicken wings to the bowl with the sauce and toss until they are evenly coated. Let them marinate for at least 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- Arrange the wings on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning once halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the wings from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy the burst of flavors!
Notes

• For extra crispiness, you can broil the wings for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking
• Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking
• Serve with a side of ranch or blue cheese dressing for a classic pairing
Food Safety:
• Ensure chicken wings are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C)
