Ingredients

Chicken Wings

1.5 lbs Chicken Wings sectioned into flats and drums
1/2 tsp Natural Ancient 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)
1 tsp Olive Oil

Garlic Parmesan Wings Sauce

1/4 cup Butter melted, unsalted
1/2 cup grated parmesan I use the fresh kind from the refrigerated section of the market. If you're using the unrefrigerated kind, you should use unsalted butter and cut the salt in half.
1 tsp Onion Powder
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Dried Parsley
1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

For the Wings:

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.
Cook the chicken at 400 degrees in the air fryer for 12-15 minutes per side.

For the Sauce:

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.

Notes

Store the wings in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 days, or in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat in a 360ºF air fryer for 6-7 minutes, or in a 350ºF oven for 15-20 minutes.
