Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
Description
The recipe starts by air frying chicken drumettes at 400°F to achieve a crispy skin while fully cooking the meat inside. Halfway through cooking, the wings are flipped to ensure even browning. Meanwhile, a sauce is prepared by melting unsalted butter with olive oil and minced garlic until fragrant, then stirring in grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. After the wings are cooked, they are tossed in this warm garlic Parmesan mixture to coat evenly.
These wings provide a tender, juicy interior with a crisp outer texture complemented by a rich, garlicky, and cheesy sauce. The fresh parsley adds a subtle herbaceous note and color contrast.
This preparation suits appetizer or casual snack occasions and pairs well with dipping sauces or vegetables. Serving the wings immediately preserves the crispness and garlic flavor.
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumettes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon parsley minced
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Add chicken drumettes to the basket of your air fryer and cook for 8 minutes.
- Flip the chicken drumettes and cook for another 8 minutes.
- At this point, the wings should be crispy and fully cooked. If they are not crispy or fully cooked (this can happen depending on the size of the drumettes) cook for another 2 minutes.
- While the wings are cooking melt the butter, olive oil, and garlic in a 12-inch skillet set over medium heat.
- When the mixture is warm and the garlic is fragrant remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and minced parsley.
- Add the cooked wings to the garlic Parmesan mixture and toss to combine.
- Enjoy hot.
Notes
- The garlic butter mixture can be prepared in the microwave for convenience instead of stovetop.
- Ensure wings are cooked through and crispy before removing; cook additional 2 minutes if needed depending on wing size.
- Toss wings thoroughly in the warm garlic Parmesan sauce for full coating.
- Serve wings hot to best enjoy the crispy texture and sauce flavor.
