- 2 pounds chicken wings - 1 tablespoon olive oil - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 1 teaspoon garlic powder - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon salt - 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) Gathering the right ingredients is key for flavor. Start with fresh chicken wings. I prefer to use organic wings for the best taste. Olive oil adds richness and helps the seasoning stick. Minced garlic is a must for that bold taste. For the seasoning, I like to use garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. These spices kick the flavor up a notch. Black pepper and salt balance everything out. Finally, the grated Parmesan cheese brings a creamy, salty finish. Don't forget the parsley! It adds a splash of color and freshness on top. First, you need to pat the wings dry. Use paper towels to remove any moisture. This step is key for crispy wings. If the wings are wet, they won’t crisp up as well. Next, mix your seasoning. In a large bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 4 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Whisk them together until they blend well. Add the wings and toss them around. You want every wing to be coated with that rich, tasty mix. Now, it’s time to air fry. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Once ready, place the wings in a single layer in the basket. Cook them for 25 to 30 minutes. Halfway through, shake the basket. This helps the wings cook evenly. You'll know they’re done when they look golden brown and crispy. To get those perfect crispy wings, start by drying them well. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. Removing moisture is key. If the wings are wet, they won’t crisp up nicely. Next, set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This high heat helps achieve that golden brown color we all love. Cook the wings for 25 to 30 minutes. Don’t forget to shake the basket halfway through. This ensures even cooking and crispiness. Want to boost the flavor? Try adding extra spices. A pinch of cayenne pepper can add heat if you like spice. You can also mix in some Italian seasoning for a new twist. For cheese, Parmesan is great, but consider using Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste. Mixing different cheeses can elevate the dish even more. When it’s time to serve, think about what to pair with your wings. Ranch or blue cheese dressing makes a great dip. Celery sticks add a nice crunch and freshness. For garnishing, sprinkle some chopped parsley on top. It adds color and a fresh taste. Arrange the wings on a stylish platter for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy these wings hot for the best experience! {{image_4}} You can change the flavor of your garlic parmesan wings in fun ways. For a spicy kick, try buffalo garlic parmesan wings. Just add your favorite buffalo sauce to the seasoning mix before tossing it with the wings. You’ll get that tangy heat with the rich taste of garlic and cheese. If you prefer something sweeter, make honey garlic parmesan wings. Mix honey into the seasonings after cooking the wings. This adds a sticky sweetness that pairs well with the savory garlic and cheese. You can also cook these wings in different ways. If you don’t have an air fryer, try the oven-baked version.

Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1 tablespoon olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prep the Wings: Begin by patting the chicken wings dry using paper towels. This step is crucial as it helps eliminate excess moisture, allowing the wings to achieve that perfect crispy texture in the air fryer.

    Seasoning: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended. Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them thoroughly, ensuring that each wing is evenly coated in the flavorful seasoning mixture.

      Air Frying: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Once it reaches the desired temperature, lay the seasoned wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking process to promote even crisping. The wings are done when they are golden brown and deliciously crispy.

        Add Parmesan: After cooking, carefully remove the wings from the air fryer and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Generously sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot wings. Toss gently but thoroughly to ensure that each wing is beautifully coated in the cheesy goodness.

          Garnish and Serve: Arrange the garlic Parmesan wings on a stylish serving platter. For a pop of color, garnish with freshly chopped parsley. These wings are best enjoyed immediately while they're hot and crispy!
