Ingredients
Wings
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Garlic Butter
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Parmesan Seasoning
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch onion powder
Instructions
- Pat wings very dry. Toss with baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Air fry at 400°F for 12 minutes, flip, and cook 10 to 12 more minutes until crisp and 175°F internally. (Or deep fry at 350°F for 10 to 12 minutes, skipping the baking powder.)
- Melt butter over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool 2 minutes.
- Combine parmesan, garlic powder, parsley, pepper, and onion powder in a small bowl.
- Toss hot wings in garlic butter until glossy. Add two-thirds of the parmesan seasoning and toss again. Plate and sprinkle with the remaining seasoning. Serve immediately.
Equipment
- Cooking Spray
- Parchment Paper, optional
Notes
- Use finely grated shelf-stable parmesan for the authentic sandy coating.
- Let the butter cool slightly before tossing so it clings rather than runs.
- Leftover parmesan seasoning keeps in an airtight jar for up to a month.
