How to Make Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Wings
- Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for about 5 minutes.
- Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels and season them generously with kosher salt, cracked pepper, and garlic powder.
- Spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil and arrange the wings in a single layer.
- Cook the wings on the 'chicken' setting at 360°F for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through at the 13-minute mark.
- Increase the temperature to 400°F and cook for an additional 5 minutes, flipping once more after 3 minutes.
- Melt the salted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, add minced garlic, and cook for about 2 minutes.

- Optional: Garnish with extra parsley or shredded parmesan.
