Notes

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.
