Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, flats and drumettes separated
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, microplaned
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano

Instructions:

  1. Use paper towels to pat the chicken wings until they are bone-dry to the touch to ensure a crispy crust.
  2. In a large stainless steel mixing bowl, whisk together the grated parmesan, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Lightly mist the wings with avocado oil, then toss them in the parmesan mixture until every nook and cranny is evenly coated.
  4. Arrange wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the crust is mahogany-colored and the skin is shattered-glass crispy.
  5. While the wings cook, whisk the melted butter with microplaned garlic, parsley, and dried oregano.
  6. Remove the hot wings from the air fryer and immediately toss in the garlic-herb butter bath before serving.
