Servings:

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Dot the foil with the butter, there is no need to melt it ahead of time but you can if you would like.
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.
⅓ cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons ground paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Coat both sides of each wing fully in the flour mixture and place on the baking sheet. Make sure the butter pieces are evenly spaced out among the wings.
10-12 chicken wingettes
Bake the wings for 30 minutes.
Flip the wings over and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until crispy and fully cooked.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

Feel free to change up the seasoning rub for your wings with some different herbs and spices. I like to add chili powder or cayenne pepper for more heat. I've also used a dry ranch mix to switch things up a bit.
The safe-to-eat temperature for all chicken is 165°F. However, for wings, you might consider cooking them up to 190°F for tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat.

Storage: Store chicken wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
