Wash and split the chicken wings into flats and drummies.

Lightly salt the wings with kosher salt and sprinkle with baking powder, then let them sit in the fridge for about 24 hours to dry out.

In a large bowl, drizzle a little olive oil over the wings and toss lightly.

Add more baking powder and the Barnyard Pimp chicken rub to the wings, tossing to coat evenly.

Arrange the wings on the grill, ensuring they have space in between them.

Preheat the Traeger grill to 275°F.

Cook the wings at 275°F for about 1.5 hours, flipping them halfway through.

After 1.5 hours, increase the grill temperature to 300°F and cook for an additional 20-30 minutes to crisp them up.

Melt 1.5 cups (3 half sticks) of unsalted butter in a saucepan.

Add 8-10 minced garlic cloves to the melted butter and sauté for about 15-20 minutes until cooked.

Remove the wings from the grill and pour the garlic butter sauce over them, ensuring to coat them well.

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the wings, adding as much as desired.

Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
