Parmesan cheese

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil is healthier while margarine is often less expensive.

Trim and clean 3 lb of chicken wings and place them in a big bowl.

Season the chicken wings with vegetable oil, a healthy dose of black pepper, and salt, keeping in mind the saltiness of Parmesan cheese.

Add 2 chopped scallions, half a scotch bonnet pepper (without seeds), a little parsley, and some fresh thyme leaves to the bowl.

Mix the ingredients well and let the wings marinate for about half an hour.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

Prepare a baking tray with a wire rack sprayed with cooking spray or brushed with vegetable oil.

Place the marinated chicken wings on the wire rack and bake in the middle rack of the oven for 25 minutes.

While the wings are baking, prepare the garlic Parmesan topping by combining 2 finely chopped cloves of garlic, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and lemon zest in a bowl.

Mix the garlic Parmesan topping and add some leftover parsley from the marinade.

After 25 minutes, remove the wings from the oven and toss them in the garlic Parmesan mixture, reserving some for later.

Return the wings to the oven for another 10 minutes to fully cook and develop color.

In the last couple of minutes, turn on the broil setting to achieve crispy edges and a golden color.
