Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by rinsing the chicken wings under cold water to remove any residues, then pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Coat the chicken wings generously with the marinade, ensuring each wing is well-covered. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C).
  5. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the rack.
  6. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake the cowboy butter chicken wings for 25-30 minutes, checking for a golden brown color.
  7. In the last 5-10 minutes of baking, consider basting the wings with any reserved marinade.
  8. For added crispiness, broil the wings for 3-5 minutes at the end of the baking time.
  9. Once baked, let the wings rest for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
