Baked Parmesan Chicken Wings

I was inspired to make this dish after making Skillet Pull-Apart Garlic Knots a couple of weeks ago. The bread was coated in a mixture of Parmesan cheese, garlic, parsley and chives. The garlic knots were so full of flavor with the herbs, cheeses and garlic all tasting great together. So I thought a similar result could be achieved by applying a similar rub to some crispy chicken wings. And boy, was I right! In this baked Parmesan chicken wings dish, the wings are baked. I prefer this way of cooking my wings because the wings still end up really crispy and there is the extra health benefit of not frying them. Additionally, it’s much less cleanup and overall easier and more convenient for me. After baking the wings until crispy, they are simply tossed in a mixture of Parmesan cheese, parsley, red pepper flakes and chives. The result was crispy baked wings full of Parmesan and parsley goodness. Yum!
