Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Garlic Chicken Wings – Easy Recipe

  • Author: Sarah Wasserman
  • Total Time: 32-34 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Description

These crispy air fryer parmesan garlic chicken wings are golden, crunchy, and coated in a buttery garlic parmesan finish. Ready in 30 minutes, they are perfect for game days or weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drums and flats (about 12–14 wings total)
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. Place the dried wings in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture over the wings and toss well until every piece is evenly coated.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 3-5 minutes.
  4. Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd.
  5. Cook at 400°F for 12 minutes. Flip each wing using tongs, then cook for another 10-12 minutes, until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  6. While the wings cook, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds, just until fragrant. Remove from heat immediately.
  7. Transfer the hot wings to a clean large bowl. Pour the garlic butter over them and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the wings and toss again.
  8. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

Do not skip drying the wings thoroughly. Use aluminum-free baking powder to avoid metallic taste. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket. Watch the garlic closely to avoid burning. Grate parmesan fresh for best results.
