Simple Air Fryer Appetizer
We love chicken in the air fryer, the outsides are crunchy while the inside is tender and juicy.
- Move over deep fryer because the air fryer makes the best crispy chicken wings.
- No pot of oil or mess from deep frying.
- They take much less time (and come out better) than oven-baked.
- Air-fried chicken wings are so simple to make and jam-packed with garlicky parmesan flavor.
Just mix the sauce ingredients, toss with the chicken, and air fry. Ready in less than 30 minutes, it’s so easy, so quick, and so simple. And don’t forget the dipping sauce, because wings are really the best with a good sauce to dip in!
Ingredients & Variations
WINGS Buy bone-in chicken wings for this recipe. I use split chicken wings which means the wings are split into little drumettes (small drumsticks) and flats (wingettes) with the wingtips discarded, this is how they’re most often sold at the grocery store.
You can cook whole chicken wings in the air fryer but they’re more cumbersome.
SAUCE A little bit of butter, some garlic, parmesan cheese, and spices are all that’s needed for this recipe. Remember to mince or press the garlic for the best results.
GARLIC We use a double dose of garlic in this recipe. Garlic powder flavors the wings and doesn’t burn as it cooks while fresh garlic cooked in a little bit of butter has the best flavor for the sauce.
VARIATIONS Try breading the chicken before mixing it with the sauce. Or add a little bit of sriracha to the sauce to give these wings a spicy kick.
How to Make Garlic Parmesan Wings in the Air Fryer
This is our favorite air fryer chicken wings recipe and best of all, it’s so simple. Just mix, toss and fry!
- Air Fry wings in a single layer (per the recipe below).
- Combine all the sauce ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Toss wings in sauce and air fry to crisp up before serving.
Tips for The Best Air Fryer Chicken Wings
- Pat wings dry with a paper towel to ensure that they reach that crispy perfection that is so adored. This will helps them crisp and allows the sauce to stick to the outer skin of the wings.
- Don’t crowd the wings in the air fryer. Place them in a single layer to let the air circulate.
- Be sure to air fry a second time once tossed in the homemade sauce to really crisp up the wings and ensure the full flavor in every bite!
- Cook wings in batches if needed. Once cooked, place all batches back into the air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 400°F before serving.
Serve With
- ranch, blue cheese dressing or dip, buffalo sauce, hot sauce, bbq sauce
