Ingredients

• Chicken wings

• 1 pounds 1 whole chicken wings

• 1 tablespoon 1 olive oil

• 2 teaspoon 2 garlic powder

• 1 and 1/2 teaspoon 1 and 1/2 paprika

• 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 salt

• 1/2 teaspoon 1/2 ground black pepper

• 1 teaspoon 1 baking powder

• 1 and 1/2 tablespoon 1 and 1/2 cornstarch

• Garlic Parmesan coating

• 4 ounce 4 butter

• 5 cloves 5 garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon 1 fresh parsley, chopped

• 1/4 cup 1/4 Parmesan cheese, grated

• 1/4 teaspoon 1/4 salt

• 1/4 teaspoon 1/4 black pepper

Directions

• Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Wings
• Take out the chicken wings and place them in a colander or bowl. Rinse each piece under cold running water.
• Using paper towels, pat the wings completely dry. This is one of the secrets of making crispy and juicy chicken wings.
• Drizzle the chicken with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then toss or rub to evenly coat each piece.
• In a separate bowl, mix 2 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
• Sprinkle the spice mix all over the wings and give them a good toss to dust every piece.
• Place the seasoned wings in a ziplock bag or any clean, airtight container. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight, if time allows, for deeper flavor.
• In a small bowl, mix 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 and 1/2 teaspoon of cornstarch.
• Sprinkle the mixture over the marinated chicken wings, then toss until evenly coated.
• Preheat the air fryer to 185°C or 370°F for three minutes.
• Once preheated, carefully pull out the basket and lightly spray it with olive oil. Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer inside the basket, then give them another light spray of oil on top.
• Cook the wings for 12 minutes, flipping them halfway so both sides get nice and crispy.
• When the timer ends, immediately increase the temperature to 200°C or 400°F. Cook for another 6 minutes until the skin is golden and crispy.
• Garlic Parmesan coating
• In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat.
• Add fresh garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
• Turn off heat, then stir in Parmesan and parsley.
• Once the chicken wings are cooked, hot and crispy, pour the garlic parmesan mixture over them and toss until evenly coated.
• Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and extra parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

• Do not overcrowd: If cooking multiple chicken wings, arrange them in a single layer with enough space in between to allow even airflow.
• Adjust time and temp: Note that air fryer models vary, and some may require or lower or higher cooking times and temperatures.

Why you’ll love this recipe

There’s so much to love about Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings. It’s garlicky, buttery and I’m surely in love with how the flavors explode as I bite into the meat. Here’s why they’re a must-try.

Healthy: Well, health comes first, as they say. Compared to the traditional way of making Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings, this air fryer method requires little oil. A good spray of olive oil will do instead of deep frying them in liters of oil. This reduces the amount of calories, and overall makes it much healthier.

Crispy, juicy and full of flavors: From the marinade, coating ‘til frying, this recipe is perfected to give you the best chicken wings you’ve ever had.

Less mess: Deep frying is really nice, especially if you’re aiming for that crispy texture and golden brown color. But it leaves way so much mess. The oil that splatters in the kitchen, the lingering smell and the hot kitchen are some of the downsides. While we can all live with it anyway, we have a great alternative in the form of an air fryer. Air Fryer crisps up chicken wings just as good as the deep frying method, and you don’t need tons of oil to achieve that.
