Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Wings

Ingredients

2 pounds chicken wings cut into drums and flappers
½ cup (1 stick) salted butter divided and melted
2 tablespoons garlic and herb seasoning
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh chopped parsley optional garnish
Ranch optional side

Directions

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and pat the chicken wing pieces dry with a paper towel.

Melt 2 Tablespoons of the butter and then drizzle it over the dry chicken wings. Toss lightly to coat all wings evenly.

Mix together the garlic and herb seasoning and sea salt in a small bowl and then sprinkle it all over the prepared chicken wings. Rub it in gently on both sides of each wing piece.

Cook the wings for 8-10 minutes on one side in an even layer in the air fryer, do not overcrowd, and then flip and cook for another 7-9 minutes.

Depending on the size of your air fryer, you will likely need to do 2 or 3 batches. Be sure not to overcrowd your fryer.

While the wings are cooking, mix together the other 6 Tablespoons of melted butter and the minced garlic in a medium-sized bowl.

After the wings are golden brown and have reached at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit internally, toss them in the melted butter mixture until well coated.

Sprinkle the wings well with the grated Parmesan cheese and then return them to the air fryer for 2-3 minutes or until the Parmesan is lightly toasted.

If desired, you can drizzle any extra garlic butter over the wings before serving or serve it alongside for dipping.

Serve garnished with fresh, chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese, optional, and with a side of ranch for dipping, optional.
