Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy clean up. Set aside.
Pat the chicken wings dry using a paper towel. Press and blot any excess liquid from the skins.
In a medium mixing bowl combine the 4 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 2 teaspoons onion powder, 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, ½ teaspoon ground black pepper½ teaspoon red pepper flakes. In two batches, toss the chicken wings in the cornstarch mixture, tapping off any excess. Arrange in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the second batch.
Bake the chicken wings for 40-50 minutes, turning wings half way through, until an internal temperature of 160°F.
Set the oven to broil and place the wings under broiler for 2-3 minutes per side. Watch closely so they do not burn, this varies greatly by oven.
Remove from the oven and either toss in the garlic parmesan sauce in a large mixing bowl OR drizzle the sauce over on a serving platter.

Notes
*This is one of the few recipes where I asked you to use the grated shaker cheese because you want the texture and for it to NOT melt into the sauce. Look for the grated cheese that is little balls, not the shredded cheese. Allow this can be used, the texture isn't the same as in a restaurant.
