Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 pounds chicken wings
Cowboy Butter Sauce
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter Melted
- 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce Adjust for heat preference
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you are baking the wings. If using an air fryer, preheat according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
- In a large bowl, combine the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well to coat the wings evenly.
Cooking
- If baking, arrange the wings on a greased baking sheet in a single layer, allowing space between each wing.
- Bake for about 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
- While the wings are cooking, prepare the cowboy butter sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, dried thyme, and mix well.
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the oven and toss them in the cowboy butter sauce until fully coated.
Serving
- Transfer the wings to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
