03 - In a small bowl, whisk together melted unsalted butter, olive oil, fresh lemon juice, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, and chopped fresh parsley.
04 - Pour the butter mixture evenly over the seasoned wings, turning and tossing to ensure each piece is fully coated.
05 - Place the wings in the oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, turning them halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
06 - Transfer cooked wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if desired before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Patting the wings dry before seasoning ensures crispier skin after roasting.
