Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings in an Air Fryer Recipe

We are teaming up with Avolon Bay AirFyer to bring you the BEST Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings.

Let’s talk about this new “it” kitchen appliance, Air Fryers.

I had to admit when I first got my air fryer, I was a little skeptical.

After a little more research I realized just how easy air frying can be and how little fat was actually involved.

No oil, no butter, just the food- I decided that I needed to give fried chicken a try. You can find the air fryer I have HERE.

Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings:

I tossed these wings in some garlic, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and salt and pepper, threw them in my air fryer for about 18-20 minutes, and they came out perfectly crispy and ready for the game.

Needless to say I jumped from semi-cool wife to best wife on the planet in exactly 20 minutes. We served them with some buffalo sauce, ranch, and of course celery.

Air Fryer Tips and tricks

  • I suggest spraying all of the insert with cooking spray before you put the chicken in! It makes things SO much easier when cleaning
  • Be sure to watch your chicken. It isn’t going to hurt your chicken to open it up and check! So the check the last few minutes to make sure it isn’t going to burn!
  • You can cook all kinds of chicken with this recipe! Try the drumsticks, and chicken breasts!

    I see three wings in the bottom of the air fryer. With two pounds of meat that is going to be a long cooking process at 18min per batch. How many can you really put in? Its does look very good and I would like to try it.

      Hi Gary, I talked to the sisters and this post has be redone, so these pictures are large wings. In the video it says if you use drumsticks you can fit about 10 in this particular model. We have made this recipe with drumsticks, chicken wings, chicken breasts, and smaller pieces of chicken. The sisters all have different models and sizes of air fryers. Your model and size could vary from ours. So the amount that you can fit into your air fryer will vary depending on size of fryer and what chicken pieces you use. Hope this helps. You can watch the You Tube video that has been embedded in the post and that should answer more questions.

    So, in the text,you say you cooked them for 18 minutes. In the statistics for the recipe, you say the cook time is 20 minutes. In the prep instructions, you say to cook for 12 minutes, then turn (which really shouldn’t be necessary in an air fryer) and cook an additional 12 minutes. So cook times stated range from 18 to 24 minutesaa—a deviation of 33+%

    Hello, I have made this with chicken wings and it was out of t his world. My friend and I had just had Native Grill Garlic Parm wings and In my opinion this recipe is better. I am going to be trying this with chicken legs. I'm wondering how long to leave them in the Oven Air fryer at the 400 degrees???

    Can you skin the chicken prior to putting it in the cheese mixture? We don’t like the skin very well and it would be even healthier without the skin.

    Are we suppose to cook for less time if there are about 6 wings cooked at a time? Mine got burned in the air fryer. I sprayed oil inside and on the chicken

    Is it grated parmesan or shredded? The instructions say grated but in the video she uses shredded parmesan cheese.

      We haven't tried cooking part way and then stopping to travel and then finish cooking. So we don't feel like we can give an honest answer until we give it a try.

    Hard not to lick fingers while putting wings from bag to rack. They smelled solid! Cannot wait for them to come out if the oven.

      You should be able to cook drumsticks for about 10 minutes, then turn over and cook another 10 minutes or until internal temp reaches 165 degrees.
