Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) chicken wings
- 1 level tbsp aluminium-free baking powder
- ½ tsp table salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 90 g (3.1 oz) unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 50 g (½ cup) parmesan (finely grated)
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp table salt (optional)
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon pepper until evenly coated. This coating helps to crisp the skin during cooking.
- Air Fry the Wings: Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 35 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even crisping.
- Make Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings cook, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the finely grated parmesan, dried parsley, ¼ teaspoon salt (optional), and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Toss Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are crispy and golden, transfer them into a large bowl. Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss well to coat evenly.
- Serve: Serve the garlic parmesan wings hot as a delicious party appetizer or snack. Optionally, garnish with extra parsley or parmesan.
Notes
- Use aluminium-free baking powder to avoid a metallic taste.
- Pat wings very dry for maximum crispiness.
- If you prefer, parmesan can be substituted with pecorino or asiago cheese.
- Adjust salt in sauce after tossing if desired to taste.
- If you don't have an air fryer, bake wings at 220°C (425°F) for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway.
