Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings

My husband and I like to go to pizza places.  He gets the pizza and I usually get the meatball sub with no bread, which is just meatballs, sauce and cheese and is usually delicious.  A few weeks ago we decided to try a new place and I ordered the garlic Parmesan wings and they were delicious (I also ordered the meatball sub and a salad...I ate myself full that night).  I couldn't get enough of them and knew that I had to find a recipe to make them at home: then I would know all the ingredients and know they were "safe" for my diet and be able to enjoy them in my own home.

The recipe is called Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings and is gluten free, which is mostly up my alley.  A few weeks earlier I had seen that Sprout's sold packages of chicken that they called wingettes.  I jumped all over that.  Seen here is two pounds of wingettes with the seasoning.

Here they are after being cooked.  They looked too pasty after 25 minutes so I ended up baking them for about 45 minutes because I was busy making the glaze for these, the zucchini fritters, and the marinade for dinner all at the same time.  I also like my chicken to look cooked so I didn't mind the longer cook time. 

So after you bake them and they are still hot you toss them in the glaze stuff that you made while they were baking.  Here I changed some of the recipe.  I put in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese because 1/4 cup didn't seem like enough.  I also made my own season salt out of salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.  I did use fresh basil and garlic which was fabulous.  But after I made it I thought, 'how is any of this mixture going to stick to my chicken pieces?'  Well, the answer is that it didn't.  I used tongs and "tossed" the pieces around and then physically put the topping on top of the pieces.  I put them back on the same pan and broiled them for about 3-4 minutes to crisp up the topping.  

Here they are after broiling.  They don't look much different and next time I will probably broil them a bit longer.  

A close up of my delicious wings.  I made these for lunch and didn't share them with anybody.  I will be hard pressed to not make these every week for the rest of my life.  Maybe next time I will try them with full sized chicken parts.
