Ingredients
Scale
- 1½ pounds chicken wings, drumettes and flats mixed
- 3½ tablespoons salted butter
- 2 tablespoons garlic, finely minced
- ½ teaspoons flat leaf parsley, finely minced
- ¼ cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- Kosher Salt, Diamond Crystal brand
- Freshly Cracked Pepper
- Garlic Powder
- Avocado Oil Spray (for air fryer basket)
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer at 360°F for 5 minutes.
- Start by patting the chicken wings dry. Extra moisture can inhibit extra crispy skin.
- Season both sides of wings generously with kosher salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Once preheat is finished, spray air fryer basket with avocado spray and add seasoned wings in a single layer. Cook on “chicken” setting at 360°F for 25 minutes, flipping at the 13 minute mark. After cycle completes, flip wings again and cook for 3 minutes at 400°F. Lastly, flip wings one last time and cook for 2 minutes at 400°F.
- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over low heat, add butter. Once butter melts, add minced garlic. Cook low and slow; watch the mixture carefully so as to not let garlic brown. This step is simply to infuse butter with garlic flavor. Cook for 2 minutes.
- Cut fresh parmesan into small cubes and toss into a mini food processor(opens in new tab). Set aside.
- Once wings are ready, place in a mixing bowl. Top with melted butter and garlic mixture. Mix. Add minced parsley. Mix. Top with freshly ground parmesan. Mix again. enjoy!
