Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs chicken wings (flats and drumettes separated)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder (aluminum-free preferred)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Start by patting the chicken wings completely dry with paper towels. In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry wings with the olive oil, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until every wing is evenly coated with the spice mixture. Let them sit for five minutes while you preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Arrange the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not touching so the air can circulate freely around each piece. Cook the wings at 400°F for 10 minutes. Use tongs to flip each wing over, then cook for another 8 to 10 minutes. The wings are done when the skin is golden brown, bubbling, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove the hot wings from the air fryer and immediately place them in a clean bowl. While the wings are still piping hot, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over them and toss gently. The heat from the wings will help the cheese adhere to the skin. Transfer the wings to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese dressing.
