Ingredients
Scale
- Frozen chicken wings (medium-sized)
- 1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- Optional: red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let it warm up for about 5 minutes.
- Place frozen wings in a mixing bowl. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, avoiding overcrowding.
- Cook for 12 minutes at 400°F (200°C), flipping halfway at 6 minutes for even crisping.
- While wings cook, combine garlic powder, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using in a bowl.
- When wings are done, transfer them back to the mixing bowl and immediately sprinkle the garlic parmesan mixture over the hot wings. Toss gently but thoroughly to coat.
- Serve warm immediately for best crispiness and flavor.
Notes
Preheat the air fryer to ensure crispiness. Cook wings in a single layer to avoid sogginess. Toss wings gently halfway through cooking. Season wings after cooking to prevent burning the cheese. For extra crispiness, air fry an additional 2-3 minutes or briefly broil. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 5-7 minutes to maintain crispness.
