Tips for Air Frying Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

  • If your chicken wings are whole, you need to cut them into separate pieces. Pat dry the wings with a paper towel.
  • Make the cheese stick: After you dip the wings in egg, make sure the press the coated wing into the Parmesan Cheese. These will make ensure that the cheese sticks. 
  • Single layer: Make sure to lay all your wings in a single layer for even cooking. Cook in batches if needed. 
  • Different results: All air fryers cook a little differently. Also, chicken wings vary in size and thickness. So after you first batch you’ll know what the best timing is for your specific air fryer model, size of wings and personal taste. 
  • Serve with your favorite sauce if you want but the flavor of the parmesan is pretty amazing.

Freezing and Re-Heating Chicken Wings

Can you freeze these cooked chicken wings? Yes you can definitely freeze the leftovers. When you’re ready to eat them just re-heat the chicken wings in the air fryer at 380F for about 5-9 minutes. Every air fryer is different so make sure to check on them often so that they don’t burn. The more frozen wings you’re re-heating the more time it will take. 

Sauces and Sides to Serve with Wings

These low carb chicken wings are super flavorful already. But if you can certainly coat the wings in the sauce. Or you can serve the dips on the side so that each wing can be dipped into individual sauces.

  • Celery, carrots, sweet peppers and cucumber are great veggie side dishes.
  • Pickles are great too like dill pickles, thick slices of sweet pickles, pickled red onion or pickled asparagus
  • Buttermilk ranch dressing – this would be great for keto chicken wings 
  • Sriracha mayo: just mix together some hot sauce and ranch 
  • Buffalo wing sauce. We have an awesome air fryer buffalo wings recipe here. 
  • BBQ sauce 
  • Honey mustard sauce

Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken Wings

Yield: 2 servings
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Wing sizes vary in size and thickness, so cooking times will vary. Some brands of Air Fryers will cook slower or faster than others, adjust accordingly.
We were able to cook 2 lbs. of chicken wings in a 3.4 qt. Air Fryer. For that size of air fryer, 2 lbs. is about the max without overcrowding the air fryer. For best results and even cooking, only air fry as many wings that will fit in a single layer.
