Oregano adds a fresh note. Don’t forget the salt and pepper for balance. - 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese - 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish) - Optional: Hot sauce for serving After cooking, we top the wings with grated Parmesan cheese. This adds a rich, cheesy flavor. The fresh parsley gives a pop of color and freshness. If you like heat, add hot sauce for a spicy kick. You can find the full recipe above to see how to combine these ingredients for the best wings ever! To start, you need to pat the chicken wings dry. Use paper towels to soak up any moisture. This step is key for crispy wings. If they are wet, they won’t crisp up well in the air fryer. Next, let’s create the seasoning mix. In a large bowl, add olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir the mix until it is well combined. This blend gives your wings that amazing garlic and Parmesan flavor. Now it’s time to air fry the wings. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lay the chicken wings in a single layer in the basket. You may need to cook them in batches if your fryer is small. Cook for 25 to 30 minutes. Shake the basket halfway through. This helps cook the wings evenly and makes them nice and crispy. To check for doneness, look for a golden-brown color. You can also use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). After the wings are cooked, move them to a large mixing bowl. It’s time to add the cheese! Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot wings. Toss them well to coat all the wings with the cheese. For the final crisping step, put the wings back in the air fryer for an extra 2 to 3 minutes at 400°F. This melts the cheese a bit and helps it stick to the wings. Now, they are ready to serve! To get crispy wings, start by drying them well. Water on the wings leads to sogginess. Use paper towels to pat them dry. This helps create a nice crust when air frying. Next, arrange the wings in the air fryer. Lay them in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket. If needed, cook in batches. This allows hot air to circulate around each wing. It ensures even cooking and crispiness. Adjusting seasoning is key to great flavor. Taste as you go. Add more garlic powder or paprika if you want a bolder flavor. You can also play with salt and pepper levels. Consider brining or marinating the wings for extra flavor. A simple brine of salt and water can help. Let them soak for a few hours. This adds moisture and taste to the wings. You can also marinate them in olive oil and herbs overnight. This will deepen the flavor even more. For the full recipe, check the recipe section. {{image_2}} You can change the flavor of your wings to keep things exciting. If you love heat, try a buffalo wing adaptation. Just add some cayenne pepper or your favorite hot sauce to the seasoning mix. This will give your wings a nice kick that many enjoy. For a fresh twist, try herb-infused options. Mix in dried basil, thyme, or rosemary. These herbs will add depth and a lovely aroma to your wings. You can even use fresh herbs if you have them on hand. Just chop them finely and add them to your seasoning mix. If you want to explore cooking methods beyond the air fryer, consider traditional oven baking. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through. This method still yields crispy wings, but it takes a bit longer. Grilling is another great option. Preheat your grill and set it to medium-high heat. Place the wings on the grill grates. Cook for 20-25 minutes, turning often. The grill adds a nice smoky flavor that pairs well with garlic and Parmesan. For the full recipe, check out the delicious details provided. After enjoying your crispy air fryer garlic Parmesan wings, let them cool. Place the cooled wings in an airtight container. This helps keep them fresh. If you do not have an airtight container, a resealable plastic bag works too. Make sure to remove as much air as possible from the bag. You can store the wings in the fridge for about 3 to 4 days. When you're ready to eat the leftovers, you want them to be crispy again. The best way to reheat wings is in the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the wings in a single layer in the basket. Heat them for about 5 to 7 minutes. This method keeps them crunchy. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can use the oven. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the wings on a baking sheet and heat for about 10-15 minutes. Once reheated, serve with your favorite dipping sauce or extra Parmesan cheese.

If you love bold flavors, try adding a splash of hot sauce to the seasoning mix. Yes, you can cook frozen chicken wings in the air fryer. Just adjust the cooking time. I recommend adding about 5-10 extra minutes to the cooking time. Make sure to check that the wings reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). For even cooking, shake the basket halfway through. This method ensures you still get crispy wings without thawing them first. A few great dipping sauces go well with garlic parmesan wings. Classic choices are ranch dressing and blue cheese dip.

Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Optional: Hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they are as dry as possible, which helps them crisp up in the air fryer.

    Seasoning Mix: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.

      Coat the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mix until they are evenly coated.

        Air Fry the Wings: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches, depending on the size of your air fryer. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

          Adding the Cheese: Once cooked, transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and toss well to evenly coat the wings with the cheese.

            Final Crisping: Return the wings back to the air fryer for an additional 2-3 minutes at 400°F to allow the cheese to melt slightly and stick to the wings.

              Serve: Remove from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or a side of hot sauce if desired.
