Ingredients

2 lbs Chicken Wings split, or whole
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
½ tsp Paprika
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
1 tsp Baking Powder if oven baking or air frying (if frying use 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup cornstarch)

5 cloves Garlic minced
4 tbsp Butter melted
1/3 cup Parmesan Cheese finely grated
1/4 cup Fresh Parsley chopped

Instructions

Air Fried Garlic Parmesan Wings

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, combine chicken wings, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder. Toss until wings are evenly coated.
Place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Air fry for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.

Oven Baked Garlic Parmesan Wings

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a large bowl, mix chicken wings, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder until well combined.
Arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are evenly spaced. Bake for 45-50 minutes, turning halfway through, until wings are golden and crispy.

Deep Fried Garlic Parmesan Wings

In a bowl, season chicken wings with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, combine flour and cornstarch. Coat each wing in the flour mixture, shaking off excess.
In a deep fryer or large skillet, heat oil to 375°F (190°C). Fry wings in batches for 10-12 minutes or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels or a wired rack.

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, sauté minced garlic in melted butter until fragrant then remove from heat. Toss the cooked wings in the garlic butter, add Parmesan cheese and parsley, ensuring an even coating. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Season and Marinate: Ensure that you season the chicken wings well with a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Allow the wings to marinate for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator to enhance the flavour.
