Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Wings
- 1 kg chicken wings
- 1 level tbsp aluminium-free baking powder
- ½ tsp table salt
- ½ tsp pepper
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 90 g unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 50 g parmesan, finely grated
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp table salt (optional)
- ¼ tsp pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible. This will help them crisp up during cooking.
- Coat with Baking Powder and Seasoning: In a large bowl, evenly toss the wings with aluminium-free baking powder, ½ tsp salt, and ½ tsp pepper. Make sure all wings are coated well to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Cook the Wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 35 minutes, shaking the basket or turning the wings halfway through cooking to promote even crisping.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings cook, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Remove from heat and stir in the grated parmesan, dried parsley, ¼ tsp salt (if using), and ¼ tsp pepper until well combined.
- Toss Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are crispy and fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the wings hot as a party appetizer or main dish. Garnish with extra parsley or parmesan if desired.
Notes
- Ensure the wings are patted dry before coating with baking powder for maximum crispiness.
- If you prefer less salt, omit the additional salt in the sauce or add it after tasting.
- You can substitute dried parsley with fresh parsley for a brighter flavor.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, these wings can be baked at 220 degrees Celsius for about 40-45 minutes, turning halfway.
- Use aluminium-free baking powder to avoid any metallic taste and better health safety.
