A quick and easy recipe for crispy, garlicky wings coated in a buttery parmesan sauce, perfect for snacks or gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into drumettes and flats
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pat dry 2 pounds of chicken wings thoroughly with paper towels and place in a large bowl.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon baking powder and 1 teaspoon salt to the bowl. Toss well to evenly coat the wings. Let rest for 10 minutes at room temperature.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  4. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding. Air fry for 25-28 minutes, flipping halfway through (about 12-14 minutes each side) until golden brown and crispy with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. While wings cook, melt 4 tablespoons unsalted butter. Stir in minced garlic, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and optional 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Mix until combined and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
  6. Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl, pour garlic parmesan sauce over, and toss gently to coat evenly.
  7. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda, to avoid metallic taste. Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket and flip wings halfway through cooking. Let the garlic parmesan sauce cool slightly before tossing to prevent sogginess. For dairy-free version, substitute butter with olive oil and Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
