    How to Make Garlic Parmesan Wings in the Air Fryer

    Ingredients needed to make this Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings Recipe: 

    • Grated Parmesan cheese - you can use freshly grated parmesan cheese or even the powdery Kraft-style parmesan cheese that comes in a shaker!
    • Cornstarch
    • Garlic powder - make sure that you are using garlic powder and NOT garlic salt
    • salt and pepper
    • Whole chicken wings, thawed - you can also use wings and drummers (flats) if that is what you prefer
    • Nonstick cooking spray like Pam - this is what allows the chicken wings to get crispy during the cooking process

    Kitchen items needed to make Garlic Parmesan Air Fryer Wings

    As I have mentioned in many of my slow cooker, pressure cooker and air fryer recipe posts, I absolutely LOVE my Ninja Foodi Pro! The Ninja FD401 Foodi 12-in-1 Deluxe XL 8 qt. Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer that Steams, Slow Cooks, Sears, Sautés, Dehydrates & More, with 5 qt. Crisper Basket, Deluxe Reversible Rack & Recipe Book can be found for under $180 on Amazon now! It has so many functions: programmable cooking functions to Pressure Cook, Air Fry/Air Crisp, Steam, Slow Cook, Yogurt, Sear/Sauté, Bake/Roast, Broil, Dehydrate, Sous Vide & Keep Warm.

    I also highly recommend using Air Fryer Disposable Parchment Paper Cooking Paper for Air Fryers if you want to skip a messy clean up! Get it here on Amazon!

    Directions for making these Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings: 

    Preheat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 380 degrees. 

    Toss together the grated parmesan cheese, cornstarch and garlic powder. Now season it with a little salt and pepper.

    Dredge each of the chicken wings into this mixture, making sure that you are coating both sides and then place into the air fryer basket in a single layer.

    You may need to cook your air fryer garlic parm chicken wings in batches if all of your wings do not fit in the basket.

    Spray the chicken wings with nonstick cooking spray.

    Cook your chicken wings in the air fryer at 380 degrees for 25 minutes. Halfway through cooking, check on your wings and rearrange them if necessary, so that all of the sides get crispy.

    When cooking is complete, serve up these tasty chicken wings topped with chopped fresh parsley if desired.

    FAQ about making Air Fryer Chicken Wings

    Can I use Chicken Wings and Drumettes to make this recipe?

    I used whole wings for this recipe, but you can easily use the wings and drumettes, just make sure they are plain, with no seasoning or breading and that they are completely thawed out prior to cooking.

    Can you stack chicken wings in an air fryer?

    Do not stack your chicken wings in the air fryer, as they will not cook evenly. If you are making a big batch and they won't fit laying down flat in your air fryer basket, just make a few batches.
