Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Air Fryer Chicken Wings offer a crispy texture using less oil than traditional frying. The recipe features two variations: a Parmesan-coated version with paprika and herbes de Provence for a flavorful crust, and a plain seasoned version focusing on salt and black pepper. Cooking in the air fryer at 350°F produces wings with a crisp exterior and juicy interior. Ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F guarantees safety, while garnishing with extra Parmesan and herbs enhances the Parmesan version's taste. This recipe suits cooks wanting fried-style wings with less grease and fuss.
