Notes

*Use chicken wing portions or whole wings. If using whole wings, you may need to increase the total cook time.
Tips:
  • For a cheesier flavor, mix grated Parmesan directly into the flour mixture.
  • Leave space between the wings while cooking--it's best if no sides are touching. Crowding traps steam, which prevents crisping. Cook in batches if needed.
  • Don’t forget to flip the wings in the air fryer after the first 12 minutes! This step ensures that the wings are cooked evenly and have the same texture on all sides.
  • Let wings sit 2-3 minutes after cooking; the residual heat helps redistribute juices and makes the wings even juicier.
Storage: Store Air Fryer garlic parm wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
