How to Air Fry Parmesan Chicken Wings
- If the wings are wet, pat dry with a paper towel. If the chicken wings are whole, cut them into separate pieces.
- After you dip the wings in egg, make sure the press the coated wing into the Parmesan Cheese. These will make ensure that the cheese sticks.
- Make sure to lay all your wings in a single layer for even cooking. Cook in batches if needed.
- All air fryers cook a little differently. Also, chicken wings vary in size and thickness. So after you first batch you’ll know what the best timing is for your specific air fryer model, size of wings and personal taste.
- All recipe details are in the recipe box below.
Can you Freeze These Wings?
Sure, you can! When you’re ready to eat them just re-heat the chicken wings in the air fryer at 380F for about 5-9 minutes. Every air fryer is different so make sure to check on them often so that they don’t burn. The more frozen wings you’re re-heating the more time it will take.
What Are Good Sauces for Chicken Wings?
These wings are super flavorful already. But if you want to add another layer of your favorite flavors, you can certainly coat the wings in the sauce. Or you can serve the dips on the side so that each wing can be customized in your dip of choice.
- Buttermilk ranch dressing – this would be great for keto chicken wings
- Sriracha mayo: just mix together some hot sauce and ranch
- Buffalo wing sauce. We have an awesome air fryer buffalo wings recipe here.
- BBQ sauce
- Honey mustard sauce
