Boneless Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

This is a recipe of which I've gone through several iterations, each time getting better. I wanted to try to mimic chicken wings my wife and I get from a local restaurant and absolutely love. It's not an exact replica, but we still devour them.

If you want to make a double batch, you can freeze some for a later time. Place the chicken wings in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in a freezer for 24 hours. Then transfer to a ziplock bag for better storage.
