If you’re looking for the BEST way to make chicken wings, I need to introduce you to the air fryer!
Air fryer chicken wings cook up so CRISPY, and the best part is that they don’t make a mess or require me to turn on the oven or the grill.
When it’s 105 degrees F outside, I’m always happy for alternate cooking appliances.
I not only made these wings extra crispy but also tossed them in a delicious garlic Parmesan sauce.
Trust me, if you like garlic, and salty, yummy Parmesan cheese, you’ll love these wings!

Ingredients for air fryer garlic parmesan chicken wings
- Chicken drumettes – I like to use drummettes because I like the mix of flat and drumstick pieces. You could also use traditional chicken wings.
- Olive oil – This brings flavor and moisture to the sauce.
- Unsalted butter – Just a touch of rich buttery flavor which works well for the sauce.
- Garlic – This is one of the main flavors for the chicken wings. You can mince your garlic fresh or buy it pre-minced.
- Parmesan cheese – I like using grated Parmesan as it melts quickly into the sauce and coats the wings well.
- Parsley – Helps bring color and a touch of flavor.

Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings
Ingredients
- 12 chicken drumettes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon minced parsley
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
- Add chicken drumettes to the basket of your air fryer and cook for 8 minutes.
- Flip the chicken drumettes and cook for another 8 minutes.
- At this point, the wings should be crispy and fully cooked. If they are not crispy or fully cooked (this can happen depending on the size of the drumettes) cook for another 2 minutes.
- While the wings are cooking melt the butter, olive oil, and garlic in a 12-inch skillet set over medium heat.
- When the mixture is warm and the garlic is fragrant remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese and minced parsley.
- Add the cooked wings to the garlic Parmesan mixture and toss to combine.
- Enjoy hot.
Notes
- You can also melt the butter and heat the olive oil in the microwave if you don’t want to use the range.
