Ingredients

Scale

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats, tips discarded
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely minced

For Topping:

  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: a pinch of red pepper flakes for heat

Dipping Sauce (optional):

  • Buffalo sauce or marinara sauce

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until well coated.

3. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each for air circulation. Cook in batches if needed.

4. Air fry the wings at 380°F for 25 to 28 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking.

5. While the wings cook, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Set aside.

6. Transfer cooked wings to a large mixing bowl and pour the garlic butter over them. Toss to coat evenly.

7. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the wings and toss again until coated.

8. Garnish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if using.

9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as buffalo or marinara.

Notes

Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to ensure crispy wings; cook in batches if necessary.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.

Add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bright finish if desired.
