Wings
Place one oven rack in the lower center slot and another in the slot above. Preheat the oven to 250°F. Line one or two rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack insert inside the pan(s). Lightly coat the racks with cooking oil spray.
Pat the chicken wing pieces dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. Place them in a mixing bowl.
Add the baking powder, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the wings and toss to coat completely.
Place the wing portions on the wire rack in the lined sheet pan, leaving a little space between each. Put the pan in the oven on the center rack and bake for 30 minutes.
Move the sheet pan to the upper rack and turn the oven temperature up to 425°F. Bake the wings for another 20 minutes. Flip them over and continue to bake until they are golden brown and crispy, approximately 25 additional minutes. The internal temperature should read 165°F when checked with a digital meat thermometer.
Remove the wings from the oven and season lightly with salt. Brush the glaze on the hot wings.
Glaze
Just before the wings come out of the oven make the glaze. In a small saucepot over medium heat, melt the butter with the minced garlic until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Spoon or brush the warm glaze over the hot wings and transfer to a platter.
Toppings
Scatter the cheese and parsley over the dressed wings and serve immediately while warm and crispy.
