Ingredients
  

2 lbs chicken wings, fresh or thawed

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

Zest of 1 lemon

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Instructions
 

Preparation of Chicken Wings: Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This will help to achieve that extra crispiness.

    Seasoning Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix well to form a marinade.

      Coating the Wings: Add the chicken wings to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until they are fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor, or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Air Frying the Wings: Once preheated, place the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to work in batches). Air fry the wings for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through the cooking time to ensure even cooking.

            Prepare Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings are cooking, prepare the garlic Parmesan sauce. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Mix until well combined.

              Coating the Crispy Wings: Once the wings are crispy and golden, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the hot wings and toss them until they are evenly coated.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve the wings hot, garnished with additional parsley and lemon wedges if desired. Enjoy your deliciously crispy garlic Parmesan wings!
