Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet or tray lined with paper towels. Pat the chicken dry with additional paper towels.
In a small bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Evenly sprinkle the chicken wings with the seasoning.
Line another baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Place the seasoned chicken wings on the wire rack leaving space in between each piece of chicken. Do not overcrowd the pan.
Optionally place prepared wings on the bottom shelf of your refrigerator and refrigerate overnight. This will ensure crispy wings.
If you don't have time to refrigerate, immediately bake chicken in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until fully cooked and golden brown.
While the chicken is cooking, make the garlic Parmesan sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter. Once melted, take butter off the heat and add the minced garlic, parsley, and cheese. Stir well to combine.
Remove the cooked chicken from the oven and transfer to a large bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and gently fold until evenly coated with the sauce.
When serving, sprinkle with additional grated cheese if desired. Serve immediately while hot.
