Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tbsp aluminum free baking powder
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 tbsp salted butter melted
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley minced

Method
 

  1. **Dry.** Pat wings completely dry with paper towels.
  2. **Dredge.** Toss wings with baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. **Air fry.** Arrange in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400F for 22 minutes flipping once at 12 minutes.
  4. **Bloom.** While wings cook melt butter and stir in minced garlic. Let sit off the heat to infuse.
  5. **Toss.** Transfer hot wings to a large bowl. Pour over garlic butter and toss. Add parmesan and toss again.
  6. **Serve.** Top with fresh parsley. Serve hot with ranch or blue cheese.

Notes

Pat wings completely dry before dredging in baking powder. Use aluminum free baking powder, not baking soda, for crispiest skin. Air fry in a single layer with space between wings for even crisp.
