What is garlic parmesan wing sauce made of?

It's a really simple sauce made from butter, minced garlic, finely shredded parmesan cheese and a little mayonnaise.

How long to cook wings in the air fryer?

You want to cook wings at 400 degrees in the air fryer for 20-25 minutes flipping half way through. The internal temperature of wings should be 165 degrees before eating.

Do you use baking soda or cornstarch for wings in the air fryer?

I don't use either. They get super crispy in the air fryer without it.

Why did my spices burn in the air fryer?

Some spices can't tolerate the heat in the air fryer. I suggest seasoning lightly, if you plan to cook something over a long period of time or over high heat. Chicken wings for example, should be lightly seasoned. Put the flavor in the sauce and coat once they come out of the air fryer.

Can I bake these instead?

They won't come out as crispy as the air fryer, but you can oven bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes on each side on a wired rack over a cookie sheet. Make sure the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees before pulling from the oven.

Instructions

In a large bowl, add in the wings. Sprinkle in ranch seasoning and salt and pepper. Toss to coat the wings.
Preheat the air fryer at 400 degrees or on the wing setting. Add the wings in an even layer and air fry for 25 minutes, flipping half way through.
While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium low heat. Add in the garlic and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not brown the garlic and the butter. Transfer to a large bowl and allow it to cool for 5 minutes.
Once the garlic butter has cooled down, add in the mayonnaise and parmesan cheese and stir well to combine. It will look thick and that's ok. Once we add the hot wings, the sauce will melt.
Add the crispy hot wings right into the garlic sauce as soon as they come out of the air fryer.
Toss the wings into the sauce until it melts and coats the wings. Top with fresh parsley and more parmesan, if desired.
Serve and enjoy! These wings don't really need a sauce, but Ranch or Blue Cheese would pair well.

Notes

Allow the air fryer to preheat before adding in the wings.
Mince up the garlic really fine for this recipe and when cooking in the butter, we are looking to just soften it over medium low heat, no browning.
Pull the garlic butter from the stove and immediately transfer to a bowl to cool. This will help the butter and garlic from burning and creating a bitter flavor.
