Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp neutral oil
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Instructions:

  1. Pat each wing bone-dry with paper towels to ensure a shattering crust.
  2. In a bowl, toss wings with neutral oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer to allow optimal airflow.
  4. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
  5. Shake the basket or flip wings with tongs.
  6. Air fry for another 10 minutes or until the skin is mahogany-colored and firm.
  7. In a large bowl, combine melted butter, minced garlic, and lemon zest.
  8. Transfer hot wings directly from the air fryer into the bowl and toss until coated in butter.
  9. Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and parsley, tossing one final time until the cheese clings to the wings.
