Ingredients
2 lbs chicken wings, split at joints and tips removed
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
3 cloves garlic, minced
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Cooking spray
Instructions
1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for 5 minutes.
2. Pat wings dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
3. In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
4. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket; cook for 25–30 minutes, shaking halfway through.
5. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 1 minute).
6. Transfer cooked wings to a bowl, pour the garlic butter over, and toss well.
7. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley before serving.
8. Serve immediately with ranch or blue cheese dressing.
Notes
For extra crispy skin, let the wings air dry in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before cooking.
Avoid overcrowding the basket — cook in batches if needed for best crispiness.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor and meltability.
