Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that the wings cook evenly and become perfectly crispy.
In a mixing bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, melted butter, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir the ingredients together until you have a well-mixed marinade.
Place the chicken wings in a large bowl. Drizzle them with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to help the marinade adhere better. Toss the wings to coat them evenly with the oil.
Pour the garlic Parmesan marinade over the wings. Ensure each wing is thoroughly coated with the flavorful mixture. Let the wings marinate for at least 15-20 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Once the wings have marinated, arrange them in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding to allow proper air circulation.
Cook the wings for approximately 25-30 minutes, turning them halfway through the cooking time. The wings should become golden brown and crispy on the outside, with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C) to ensure they are fully cooked.
Once the wings are done, remove them from the air fryer and let them cool for a minute or two. The Parmesan Chicken Wings are ready to be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or main course.
