Instructions

Prep wings. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and let rest briefly at room temperature.
Preheat air fryer. Preheat the air fryer to 390°F for 2 minutes.
Mix seasoning. In a small bowl, combine the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, baking powder, and grated Parmesan cheese.
Season wings. Add the wings to a large bowl, drizzle with olive oil, and toss to coat. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
Air fry. Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between each. Cook at 390°F for 10 minutes.
Flip and finish. Flip the wings and cook for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
Make sauce. Melt the butter with the minced garlic in a microwave safe bowl until fully melted.
Toss. Add the cooked wings to the butter mixture, toss to coat, then sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and toss again.
Serve. Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

Recipe Tips. Use tongs when tossing wings to avoid burns from the hot butter sauce. Butter and garlic can also be melted on the stove.
Reheating. Microwave between damp paper towels for about 2 minutes. Oven reheat at 350°F for 10 to 20 minutes. Air fry at 360°F for 5 minutes, flipping halfway.
Storage. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, best within 2 days.
