Everyone who owns an air fryer has tried chicken wings. They come out so good, they are restaurant quality, they are delicious, crispy, and just so juicy!

Garlic parmesan chicken wings are crispy-skinned wings seasoned perfectly with garlic and parmesan in every bite. 

It’s a funny thing, when I first got my air fryer, about four years ago, I realized that the chicken wings were less than a cost of a pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts: fast forward four years, and the advent of the new cooking appliance, the Air Fryer. The chicken wings cost more than a pound of boneless breast of chicken.

Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

In the 1950s, when the famous Buffalo Chicken Wings were invented, you couldn’t give away the chicken wings; homemakers used them to make stock or broth. Once the famous Buffalo chicken wings were invented, they became a new chicken piece to be sold off.

Chicken wings are one of the best appetizers during any party or tailgating party. They go great with all sorts of sporting events, from football to baseball.

Why Make This Chicken Wing Recipe 

• The Air Fryer gives you an incredible device to cook the wings where the wings are crispy on the outside and juicy when you sink your teeth into them. 
• No need to sear the skin by deep-frying, then finish off in the oil. Or, if you fully deep fry, air frying is a healthier alternative. 
• The air fryer offers a quick cook time with minimal effort. 
• The air fryer doesn’t heat your home. 
  

Preparing chicken wings are actually quite easy. Here are a few tips:

1. The amount that you should plan on serving per person is about 5-10, depending on if it’s an appetizer (5) or the main course (10)
2. Thawed wings air fry better than frozen wings, but you can thaw them quickly by placing them in a bowl of cold water on the counter for about four hours.
3. Cutting your wings is easy. You need to find the joints; there are two cuts that you will need to make into the wing to separate it.
4. Always season your chicken wings with salt and pepper while they are in the basket.

Start by placing your chicken wing (whole) on a cutting board.

Then find the bone in the middle; it will make a clean cut.

After you make your cuts, you make three in total.

I sorted the wings into those for the air fryer.

These will go into the Instant Pot Chicken Broth.

I sorted them into smaller batches for flavoring.

Dry them off with a paper towel. They will make the coating stick better.

In a small bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, garlic, and parsley.

Mix well.

Toss the chicken wings into the coating.

As you coat the wings, add them to your air fryer basket. Single-layer and spray with cooking spray. After 12 minutes, flip the chicken wings and do another 12 minutes.

Are Air Fryer Chicken Wings Good 

Due to the chicken wings’ fat, you will find they cook up perfectly in the air fryer. It gives the skins a nice crispy texture with juicy chicken on the inside. That is why if you are a fan of chicken wings, air frying is a must-try method of cooking! 

How to Know When Chicken Wings Are Fully Cooked 

The chicken needs to reach 165 degrees internal temperature. One thing is, if you use a meat thermometer, make sure that you don’t touch a bone.  If you touch the bone of the wing, it will give you a false reading. 

Also, the chicken’s juice will run clear once the chicken is done, and there will be no pink on the meat.
