For this tasty dish, you need fresh chicken wings. I suggest using about 2 lbs. This gives you enough wings for four servings. Choose wings that are plump and meaty for the best results. The seasoning brings out the flavor. You will need: - 2 tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1 teaspoon paprika - 1 teaspoon salt - ½ teaspoon black pepper - Optional: 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for heat - ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese Start with olive oil to help the spices stick. The garlic and onion powders add a nice savory taste. Paprika gives a hint of smokiness, while salt and pepper add balance. If you like spicy, the crushed red pepper is a great touch. To make your wings look pretty, chop up 2 tablespoons of fresh parsley. This not only adds color but also a fresh taste. You can serve the wings hot as they are or with a favorite dipping sauce. Try ranch or blue cheese for a classic pairing. Enjoy your crispy garlic Parmesan wings! Start by preheating your air fryer. Set it to 380°F (190°C) and let it warm up for about 5 minutes. This step helps the wings cook evenly and get that nice crispy texture. Next, grab a large bowl and add the chicken wings. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil over them. Toss the wings until they are coated in the oil. This makes the skin crispier. Now, it’s time to add flavor! Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. If you like a bit of heat, toss in 1 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes. Mix well so every wing is coated with the seasoning. Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket. Make sure they are in a single layer. If your air fryer is small, cook the wings in batches. Cook them at 380°F (190°C) for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, shake the basket to help them cook evenly. When the wings turn golden brown and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Transfer them to a clean bowl and sprinkle ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the wings. Toss them until they are well coated. For a final crisp, return the wings to the air fryer for 3-5 more minutes. This step helps the cheese melt and form a tasty crust. Finally, garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley and serve them hot! To get crispy wings, start by patting them dry. Moisture can make them soggy. After you toss them in olive oil, make sure they are well-coated. This oil helps the skin crisp up in the air fryer. Cook them in a single layer. Overcrowding can lead to steaming, not frying. Shake the basket halfway through cooking. This helps them cook evenly. Cook until they reach a golden brown color. You can always tweak the seasonings to match your taste. If you like more garlic, add extra garlic powder. For a spicy kick, include more crushed red pepper flakes. You can also swap out the paprika for smoked paprika for a deeper flavor. Remember to taste as you go. This will help you find your perfect mix. Serve your wings with tasty dipping sauces. Ranch or blue cheese are classic choices. A spicy buffalo sauce pairs well too. For something different, try a honey mustard sauce. You can even make a garlic aioli for a rich flavor. Each sauce brings out the garlic parmesan taste in its own way. Experiment and find the one you love the most! {{image_2}} To turn up the heat, add crushed red pepper flakes to the wings. Use one teaspoon for a mild kick. If you crave more spice, add more flakes. You can also mix in hot sauce with the olive oil. This adds a tangy flavor that pairs nicely with garlic and cheese. For a fresh twist, include lemon juice and zest. Mix the lemon juice with olive oil before tossing the wings. Add a teaspoon of lemon zest for an extra zing. You can also mix in dried herbs like thyme or oregano. This gives the wings a bright, herbaceous flavor that balances the rich Parmesan. For a unique take, add soy sauce and ginger. Replace half of the olive oil with soy sauce. Add a teaspoon of fresh ginger or ginger powder for a warm spice. You can also sprinkle sesame seeds on top for crunch. This variation brings an exciting blend of flavors and textures to your wings. After cooking your garlic Parmesan chicken wings, let them cool down. Place the wings in an airtight container. Store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. This keeps them fresh and tasty. Make sure to cover them well to avoid drying out. When you’re ready to enjoy the wings again, you can use the air fryer. Preheat it to 350°F (175°C). Place the wings in the basket for about 10 minutes. This will make them crispy again. You can also use a microwave, but they won’t be as crunchy. If you want to save wings for later, freezing is a great choice. First, let them cool completely. Place them in a freezer-safe bag. Remove as much air as possible before sealing. They can last up to 3 months in the freezer. When ready, thaw them in the fridge before reheating. Cook chicken wings for 25 to 30 minutes at 380°F (190°C). Halfway through, shake the basket. This helps all sides cook evenly. You want the wings golden and crispy. Yes, you can use frozen wings. Just add about 5 extra minutes to the cooking time. Make sure they are in a single layer. This helps them cook well and get crispy. If you don’t have Parmesan, use Pecorino Romano. It has a similar flavor. Grated mozzarella or nutritional yeast are good options too. They add nice taste and texture. In this blog post, we explored how to make delicious air-fried chicken wings. We covered key ingredients, like chicken, seasonings, and garnishes.

Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) and let it preheat for about 5 minutes.

    Prepare Chicken Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil until evenly coated.
