Begin by preheating your oven to 400℉. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and placing a wire rack atop the sheet; set aside for later use.

In a small mixing bowl, combine the kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Using a paper towel, pat the chicken wings dry, then evenly season them with the spice mixture.

Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper air circulation. Drizzle the olive oil over the wings for added moisture and flavor.

Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 45 to 50 minutes, or until they are thoroughly cooked and exhibit a slight crispness.

While the wings are nearing completion, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat until fully liquefied. Remove from heat and incorporate the minced garlic, chopped chives, and ¼ cup of the grated Parmesan cheese. Transfer this sauce mixture to a large bowl. Once the wings are finished baking, add them to the bowl and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Serve immediately, garnishing with the remaining Parmesan cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
