Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs (900g) chicken wings, separated into drumettes and wingettes
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon (1.25g) cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup (30g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) melted unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper (if using), salt, and pepper. Ensure the wings are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 380°F (190°C) for 10 minutes.
  4. Flip the wings and continue to cook at 380°F (190°C) for another 10 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  5. While the wings are cooking, in a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese.
  6. Remove the wings from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the garlic Parmesan sauce.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley (if using) and serve immediately.
