Notes
- I like to put the wings back into the oven or the air fryer after drizzling the garlic butter parmesan sauce so that it soaks into the skin of the chicken. You can wait to do this step immediately upon serving the wings if you wish.
- If you like a lot of garlic flavor use more fresh garlic or you can add garlic powder to your dry rub of flour and seasoning.
- I find that the bottled grated parmesan works best for this recipe than fresh. I am typically a fresh parmesan only type of person, but fresh parmesan will clump when you melt it. If you aren't opposed to the clumpy look of cheese on the wings, go for it and use fresh parmesan if you want.
- If you are having trouble spraying the wings with oil because of the flour, you can allow them to cook for about 5 minutes and then spritz the oil. The will prevent the breading from coming off.
- To make this recipe low carb you can swap the all-purpose flour for baking powder. I usually only use a tablespoon of baking powder.
- You can use actual wings (instead of drums and flats) if you wish, you may need to adjust the amount of ingredients needed to fully coat your wings.
