Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings Recipe
Description
This recipe prepares chicken wings coated in a spice mix including kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder, giving a balanced savory and smoky profile. The wings are air fried at controlled temperatures: starting at 360°F, then flipping and increasing to 380°F to achieve a crispy exterior without drying out the interior. The sauce is made by melting butter with fresh minced garlic, onion powder, and black pepper, then stirred with grated Parmesan cheese off the heat to meld flavors.
The cooked wings are tossed in the garlic Parmesan butter sauce just before serving, coating them evenly. This results in wings that are crisp on the outside yet juicy inside, with a buttery garlic richness and a salty, cheesy finish from the Parmesan. The method emphasizes temperature control during cooking to get good texture.
Adjusting air fryer temperature mid-cooking provides crispness. Using freshly minced garlic in the sauce allows it to infuse gently without burning. Parmesan adds a sharp, nutty element complementing the garlic and spices. This makes these wings a flavorful snack or appetizer.
Ingredients
Wings
- 1 pound chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt or sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper ground
- ½ tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- ½ tablespoon onion powder
Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer at 400°F for 5 minutes. This will help with crisping up the wings.
- Add the wings to a mixing bowl with the salt, pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Place them in the air fryer and cook at 360°F for 12 minutes.
- Open the basket, flip the wings, and cook an additional 5 minutes at 380°F. Increasing the temperature helps them get crispy.
- While the wings are cooking, make the garlic parmesan wing sauce.
- Add the butter, garlic, onion powder, and black pepper to a sauce pan over medium heat. Cook until the butter is melted.
- Once the butter has melted, let the garlic sautee in the butter for about 1 minute.
- Turn off the heat and add in the grated parmesan. Mix until it's fully combined.
- Add the cooked wings to a clean mixing bowl and pour the sauce over them.
- Toss to coat, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
- Changing air fryer temperature during cooking crisps the chicken wing exterior effectively.
