Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.
  3. Transfer the wings to the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  4. Air fry the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. In the last few minutes of cooking, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and minced garlic over the wings.
  6. Once the wings are golden and the cheese is bubbling, remove them from the air fryer, let them rest for a few moments, then serve.

Notes

For optimal crispiness, ensure wings are not overcrowded in the air fryer. They can be served fresh but also make delightful leftovers that can be reheated in the air fryer for quick snacks.
