Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tsp aluminum-free baking powder
  • 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
  • 0.5 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely minced

Instructions:

  1. Dry the wings. Use paper towels to strip every drop of moisture from the chicken.
  2. Dust with powder. Toss the wings with the baking powder and salt in a large bowl.
  3. Apply the oil. Drizzle the avocado oil over the wings and toss again.
  4. Mix the rub. In a small container, combine the parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and pepper.
  5. Coat the wings. Sprinkle the parmesan mixture over the wings, tossing until they are fully shielded in a sandy coating.
  6. Arrange the basket. Place the wings in the air fryer in a single layer. Leave space between each piece for air circulation.
  7. Initiate cooking. Set your air fryer to 200°C and cook for 10 minutes until you hear a vigorous sizzling sound.
  8. Perform the flip. Carefully turn each wing over using tongs.
  9. Final blast. Cook for another 10 minutes until the crust is golden brown and bubbling.
  10. Garnish and rest. Transfer to a rack, sprinkle with parsley, and let them rest for 3 minutes until the crust sets into a firm shell.
