Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
  2. In a bowl, lightly coat the wings with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper.
  3. Toss the wings with garlic powder and grated Parmesan cheese until they are well coated.
  4. Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket, allowing for minimal overlap, and set the air fryer to 375°F.
  5. Cook the wings for 22-26 minutes, tossing 2-3 times, until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and are crispy.
  6. Serve the wings hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and parsley, alongside carrots, celery, and ranch dressing if desired.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat in the air fryer to restore the crispiness.
  • Freezing: You can freeze uncooked seasoned wings. Just make sure to place them in a single layer on a tray before transferring them to a freezer bag.
  • Pairing: These wings pair excellently with a crisp salad or loaded nachos for a fun dinner night.
  • Spicy Variation: Add cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the seasoning mix for a spicy kick!
  • Broil for Extra Crisp: For extra crispy wings, broil them for a couple of minutes after air frying.
