Place a wire rack on a baking sheet. Place 2 to 3 pounds chicken wings on a large cutting board. Use paper towels to pat the chicken wings as dry as possible.
In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon aluminum-free baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon paprika. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the wings and toss to coat thoroughly.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared wire rack. Refrigerate uncovered for 12 to 24 hours to allow the coating to adhere and for the skin to dry.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 425°F.
Transfer the wings directly from the refrigerator to the preheated oven. Roast for 30 minutes, or until the wings are crispy and golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Cooking time may vary depending on the size of the wings.

While the wings are cooking, prepare the garlic Parmesan sauce. In a small bowl, melt 1/4 cup salted butter. Stir in 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated. Serve immediately.

Short on time? Use the "cheater" method! Preheat your oven to 250°F and bake the wings for about 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once done, remove the wings and increase the oven temperature to 425°F. Place the pan back in the oven for an additional 30-45 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
