Our Best Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
These crispy air fryer chicken wings are bursting with garlicky Parmesan flavor and are surprisingly easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken wings, separated at the joint (drumettes and flats)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (optional)
Cooking Guide:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, and black pepper.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure not to overcrowd them.
- Cook for 20 minutes, then flip the wings and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature).
- In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and parsley (if using).
- Once the wings are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the Parmesan cheese mixture to coat.
- Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as blue cheese or ranch dressing.
Tips:
- For extra crispy wings, preheat your air fryer to a higher temperature (425°F or 220°C) and cook for a shorter amount of time (around 25-30 minutes total), flipping halfway through.
- If your air fryer basket is small, you may need to cook the wings in batches.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer basket, as this will prevent the wings from crisping up properly.
- To test if the wings are cooked through, insert an instant-read thermometer into the thickest part of the wing. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- You can also add other seasonings to this recipe, such as cayenne pepper for a spicier kick or dried thyme for a more herbal flavor.
- Leftover wings can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer for a few minutes to crisp them back up.
