How to Make Parmesan Dusted Air Fryer Chicken Wings
Ingredients

Process
AIR FRYER CHICKEN WINGS
- Pat wings dry with a paper towel. In a resealable combine salt, baking powder, and black pepper. Shake together. Add wings, seal bag and shake until wings are evenly coated.
- Spray inside of air fryer basket with cooking spray and preheat air fryer to 400˚F. Place wings in prepared basket and air fry for 10 minutes. Flip wings and continue to air fry for another 10 minutes.


ASSEMBLY
- Combine parmesan, garlic powder chives in a small bowl and whisk together.
- In another mixing bowl combine wings and butter and toss together.


- Sprinkle the wings with 2/3 of the parmesan mixture and toss together until evenly coated.

- Transfer wings to a platter and top with a sprinkle of the remaining Parmesan mixture. Serve.

Tips and Tricks for Success
- Toss the wings in baking powder, to create an extra crisp texture on the skin.
- Leave at least 1/2 inch space between each wing in the air fryer so the wings crisp up, instead of steaming.
- Flip the wings halfway through air frying to crisp both sides.
- Toss the wings in a little bit of butter, right after air frying to help the garlic-parmesan mixture stick to the wings.
- Toss the wings in the butter and parmesan mixture when they’re still hot to also help the mixture stick to the wings.

Thanks for making this recipe. It takes a lot of time and dedication to come up with new recipes. The recipe was solid, but I couldn’t get past the chicken meaty smell. Is there a way to neutralize the smell? Would using lemon after tossing perhaps neutralize the smell?
