Step-by-Step Instructions for Cowboy Butter Chicken Wings

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare your baking sheet with parchment paper.
Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the baking sheet; roast for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, flip the wings and continue roasting for another 20 to 25 minutes until cooked through and crispy.
Melt the butter in a saucepan, add extra garlic powder and smoked paprika, stir and simmer gently.
Toss the hot wings in the buttery sauce and serve immediately with ranch dressing.
