Garlic Parmesan Wings are high on the list of my favorite things. The combo of garlic, butter, parsley, and parmesan make the most amazing Garlic Parm chicken wings sauce.
In this quick recipe, I’m sharing how to make these wings in the air fryer or oven. I also include some other keto-friendly wings recipes in case you love wings as much as I do!
Why make Garlic Parm Wings?
I love the flavor combo that is included in garlic parmesan wing sauce! Before making this recipe at home, I was spending lots of time ordering these as takeout.
When I originally shared this recipe, it was soon after I got this air fryer from Amazon. This dish started as a way to test out my new air fryer.
What’s Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce made of?
Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce includes grated parmesan cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, and dried parsley. I mix all of this together then toss the wings in this sauce right before I’m ready to eat them.
How to make Garlic Parmesan Wings
Making Garlic Parmesan Wings is fairly simple.
- Crisp the wings by baking them in the oven or the air fryer
- Melt butter in the microwave and use the melted butter to make the garlic parmesan sauce
- Toss the wings in the sauce when you are ready to eat
Making Garlic Wings in an Air Fryer: which air fryer did I use & recommend?
If you’ve checked out any of my other chicken wing recipes or my keto air fryer recipes, then you may have noticed that I recommend two products for air frying foods. I’ll list the options and explain the differences.
GoWise USA XL Air Fryer
This XL Electric Air Fryer was my first air fryer. I loved it because of its capacity. The size, 5.8qt, was enough to make a meal for about 3 people.
Besides that, I appreciated the digital screen and presets (it includes temperature and time settings for everything from chicken to cake).
You can check out this air fryer on Amazon by clicking the picture below:
Ninja Foodi
More recently, I got a Ninja Foodi, which is an air fryer, pressure cooker, steamer and more. As I explained in my Ninja Foodi Review, I gave away the air fryer I mentioned above because the Ninja Foodi had so many extra functions.

What are some other air fryer chicken recipes?
I got a bit obsessed with my air fryer and I started making chicken often. If you are looking for more air fryer recipes, then you should try this Air Fryer Whole Chicken, these Buffalo Wings, or these Air Fryer Fried Chicken Wings.

How to bake or make Garlic Parmesan chicken wings in the oven:
If you want to bake these Garlic Parmesan chicken wings in the oven or make enough food for a crowd then you should use my oven fried chicken wings recipe. You’d never know that they are baked. After the wings are crisped, then you can toss them in the sauce.

Make Garlic Parm Wings a meal:
These wings can be great as part of a keto meal prep. Since these wings are covered in a delicious and rich parmesan sauce, I tend to go light with the side dishes.
One way to keep this easy is to have these garlic parm chicken wings with a side salad that’s top with my keto balsamic vinaigrette or any of these low-carb salad dressings.

Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 1.5 lbs chicken wings sectioned into flats and drums
- 1/2 tsp Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Black Pepper
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder baking powder (You cannot swap baking soda in this recipe - I promise that the wings will not taste good if you do)
Garlic Parmesan Wings Sauce
- 1/4 cup ghee or butter melted
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Fresh parsley
- 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Key Tool I Used
Instructions
- Remove the chicken wing parts from the refrigerator and pat dry (removing as much moisture as possible helps to have a crispy wing skin)
- Mix the sea salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and baking powder in a small dish or ramekin
- Sprinkle seasoning mixture on the wings and toss to coat
- Place wings on a flat layer in the airfryer
- Use the air-fryer programmed settings for chicken (400 degrees) and cook for 25-30 minutes. I set my timer 15 minutes, flipped the wings, then checked the wings at 5 minute intervals until the skin was crispy enough for me. Getting the wings crispy quickly requires you to flip them about halfway through.
- Mix the all of the ingredients for the Garlic Parmesan sauce by stirring them in a small bowl
- Toss the wings in the garlic parmesan mixture and serve immediately.

These were amazing!! Adding it to my favorite recipes for sure. Did it in the oven because I wanted to make more than would fit in my Air Fryer! Thank you for an amazing recipe.
Davinah says
Thanks, Donna! Happy that you enjoyed them!
Rachael Clemens says
How do you bake the parmesan ones in the oven? Temp and time? Thank you!
Davinah says
Hi Rachael,
If you want to bake these Garlic Parmesan chicken wings in the oven, then you should use my oven fried chicken wings recipe. After the wings are crisped (about 50 minutes at 425 degrees), then you can toss them in the sauce.
Thanks,
Davinah

Vanessa Moreno says
How many wings per serving for those macros?
Davinah says
Hi Vanessa,
This will vary based on how big wings are, but I tend to get about 4-5 pieces with that.
Thanks,
Davinah
Marissa says
By far the best garlic Parmesan wings I’ve made at home! Thanks for the awesome recipe. I’m not sure if I can order these out again! I did use some dried garlic pieces and dried parsley in the sauce and it was delicious.
Davinah says
Hi Marissa!
I’m so happy that you enjoyed this dish and appreciate the tip that you added re: dried garlic pieces.
Best,

Dayna says
These are AMAZING!!! Wingstop who?? We don’t know her after making these. Seriously though—these are better than the wings you get when you go out to eat. Super easy and simple, and delicious!! I wouldn’t change a thing about this recipe and I will save this to make many more times. The only thing I did different was follow the specific directions for cooking chicken wings with my Ninja Airfryer (and I’m glad I did because they’re all different. I did 390F for 15min, flip, then 8min. Cooked them perfectly). Thank you for this recipe!!
Davinah says
Hi Dayna,
I’m so happy that you enjoyed these! They are definitely one of my favorites. Love that you mixed it up with the Foodi. I got mine last year and couldn’t be happier with it.
Thanks,
Davinah

Davinah says
Terri!
