Ingredients
  

2 pounds chicken wings

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: hot sauce for serving

Instructions
 

Prep the Wings: Start by patting the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure extra crispiness when cooked.

    Season the Wings: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Ensure all the wings are well coated with the seasoning.

      Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes. This will help the wings cook evenly and get crispy.

        Air Fry the Wings: Place the seasoned wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even cooking.

          Add the Parmesan: Once the wings are golden and crispy, carefully remove them from the air fryer and transfer them to a clean mixing bowl. While they are hot, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the wings and toss until evenly coated.

            Garnish and Serve: Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. If desired, add hot sauce for an extra kick.
