Ingredient Notes and Substitutions

  • Chicken Wings: Use bone-in for traditional wings, or go with air fryer boneless wings if you prefer them without the bones.
  • Parmesan Cheese: Fresh parmesan is ideal, but pre-grated works in a pinch.
  • Garlic: Fresh minced garlic or garlic powder both work for this recipe.
  • Butter: Unsalted butter is best to control the saltiness.
  • Seasonings: Add extra flavor by including your favorite spices like smoked paprika or Italian seasoning.

Step-by-Step Directions

  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes.
  • Season the Wings: Pat the wings dry with paper towels and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Cook the Wings: Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even cooking. The wings should be golden brown and crispy.
  • Prepare Garlic Parmesan Sauce: In a small pan, melt butter on low heat. Add minced garlic and stir until fragrant. Remove from heat and mix in the grated parmesan to create a smooth garlic parmesan sauce.
  • Toss the Wings: Once the wings are cooked and crispy, toss them in the prepared garlic parmesan sauce.
  • Serve: Garnish the wings with additional parmesan and serve hot, alongside your favorite dips like ranch or blue cheese.

Pro Tips

  • To make these parmesan garlic wings even better, don’t skip drying the wings before cooking. This helps them get extra crispy in the air fryer.
  • For extra flavor, add a sprinkle of parmesan chicken wings seasoning before cooking
