Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Wings

  • 2 pounds chicken wings, cut into drumettes and wingettes

Seasoning & Sauce

  • 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

Optional Garnish & Side

  • Fresh chopped parsley for garnish
  • Ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Wings: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with a paper towel to ensure crispiness.
  2. Butter Coating: Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and drizzle it over the dry chicken wings. Toss gently to coat all wings evenly.
  3. Season Wings: In a small bowl, mix garlic and herb seasoning with sea salt. Sprinkle this seasoning evenly over the wings and gently rub it onto both sides.
  4. Air Fry Wings – First Side: Arrange wings in a single even layer in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 8-10 minutes.
  5. Air Fry Wings – Flip and Cook Second Side: Flip the wings and cook for an additional 7-9 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  6. Prepare Garlic Butter Mixture: While the wings cook, combine the remaining 6 tablespoons melted butter with minced garlic in a medium bowl.
  7. Toss Wings in Garlic Butter: Once wings are cooked, toss them thoroughly in the garlic butter mixture to coat each piece.
  8. Add Parmesan and Toast: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the coated wings. Return wings to the air fryer for 2-3 minutes, until the parmesan is lightly toasted and melty.
  9. Serve: Drizzle any extra garlic butter over the wings if desired. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with ranch dressing on the side if you like.

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftover wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Freezing: Freeze cooled wings in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3-4 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or use the microwave defrost setting.
  • Reheating: Reheat wings in the air fryer or oven for a few minutes until heated through and cheese is crispy again.
  • Cooking Tips: Pat wings dry to ensure crispiness; avoid overcrowding in the air fryer to prevent steaming and promote even cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer: Wings should reach an internal temperature of 165°F to be safe and juicy.
  • Flavor Enhancement: Tossing wings in garlic butter before parmesan helps cheese stick and adds flavor; optional additions like lemon juice or hot sauce can be mixed into the butter for extra zest.
