    Parmesan Garlic Wings Ingredients

    Here are the ingredients you'll need to make this garlic parmesan wings air fryer recipe:

    Ingredients need to make air fryer garlic parmesan chicken wings
    • Chicken Wings - I used wingettes in this recipe but whole chicken wings can also be used. See the recipe card below for instructions.
    • Olive Oil or Coconut Oil - use either olive oil or coconut oil, but using coconut oil will give these wings a tropical taste!
    • Kosher Salt or Sea Salt
    • Fresh Ground Pepper - freshly grated ground pepper tastes best
    • Grated Parmesan Cheese - I used the finely grated variety; it sticks to the chicken better while air fryer. If you want, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese over the wings after they are cooked.
    • Minced Fresh Garlic - fresh garlic adds a wonderful flavor.
    • Optional - fresh parsley, basil, or chives for garnish would be delicious and pretty but this is totally optional.

    For exact ingredient quantities, please see the recipe card below!

    How To Make Garlic Parmesan Wings

    Here's how to make garlic parmesan chicken wings in an air fryer:

    Coat the Chicken

    Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 5 minutes.

    Toss chicken wings with oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a large mixing bowl.

    If you want, you can do this step the day before. Place them in an airtight container or plastic bag until you're ready to cook the next day.

    Air Fry the Wings

    Air fry for 15 minutes, giving them a toss about halfway.

    Remember to watch your wings the first time you make these. There is a variance in cooking temperatures and times between air fryers! I have three models, and they all cook slightly differently.

    Toss with Garlic and Parmesan

    Remove from the air fryer basket and place in a bowl. Toss with minced garlic and parmesan cheese.

    Finish Air Frying

    Place back into the air fryer basket and cook for an additional 5 minutes or until done.

    How To Serve

    Here are a few delicious ideas of what to serve with your garlic parmesan chicken wings:

    Serve on a platter and garnish with additional grated parmesan cheese and fresh minced parsley.

    Enjoy these chicken wings as a game-day snack, party food, or as a main dish. They also make a great leftover lunch (if there are any left).

    Try our Creamy Dill Dressing or Italian Dressing as a dip for the wings!

    If serving for dinner, here are five easy side dishes that pair well with parmesan garlic chicken wings: a fresh green side salad, Air Fryer Green Beans (or this frozen green bean version), Italian Pasta Salad (with pasta or cauliflower) and Cherry Tomato Caprese Salad.

    Variations

    Here are some different ways you can customize this air fryer garlic parmesan wings recipe:

    • Substitute different seasonings. I recently made this recipe but added dried Italian seasoning. It was quite tasty! You could also substitute lemon pepper seasoning (that has salt) in place of the salt and pepper. Maybe even a simple chicken rub, cajun seasoning, or other.
    • Serve with a sprinkle of fresh parsley, basil, or chives.
    • Coat in melted butter instead of olive oil.
    • Toss with a little onion powder.
    • Garnish with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
    • Drizzle with a little lemon juice.

    💭 Top Tips

    • Each air fryer is a little different so adjust your cooking times as needed.
    • Typically you don't want to overlap your pieces, but I found that as long as I toss the chicken about halfway, they come out perfect every time.
    • As a general rule of thumb, chicken is done when the juices run clear and are no longer pink. If you are unsure or want to be really accurate, use an instant-read thermometer to check. The USDA recommends cooking chicken to 165-degrees F.
