Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 lb chicken wings flats and drums
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- 5 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: extra Parmesan and lemon zest for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings. Pat the wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, oregano, and garlic powder. (Optional: add 1 teaspoon baking powder for extra crispiness.)
- Air Fry. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Arrange wings in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Air fry 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Make the Sauce. While wings cook, mix melted butter, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, Parmesan, parsley, salt, and optional lemon zest in a bowl.
- Coat the Wings. Transfer hot wings to a bowl and pour sauce over them. Toss until fully coated.
- Serve. Top with extra Parmesan and parsley. Serve immediately with celery, carrots, and ranch or blue cheese dip on the side.
