Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

These super crispy garlic parmesan chicken wings are so flavorful and delicious! It's easy to make them in the oven or in the air fryer!

These Garlic Parmesan chicken wings are full of flavor and super easy to make! I typically make them in the air fryer, because it is super quick and gets the wings incredibly crispy, but you can also bake them in the oven if you don't have an air fryer.

These wings are a game-day staple alongside these traditional Air Fryer Chicken Wings, Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Chicken Wings, Air Fryer Buffalo Wings and Air Fryer Chicken Tenders!

Using the air fryer allows them to get super crispy without actually frying them. Once you try this method, you will never cook wings another way. Serve these with Air Fryer French Fries or Instant Pot Corn on the Cob for the perfect meal!

Making wings in the Air Fryer couldn't be easier! Let me explain it...

What to serve with Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings:

• Serve with a side of corn on the cob - Instant Pot Corn on the Cob or Air Fryer Corn on the Cob is always a hit!
• Use the air fryer to make Frozen French Fries or Tater Tots to serve alongside the wings!
• A hearty scoop of Creamy Mac and Cheese also goes VERY WELL alongside garlic parmesan wings!
• Or make a Simple Wedge Salad to go with the wings!
• Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries have become one of my favorite side dishes! So much healthier than the fried alternative!
• Serve with just celery and carrots and a side of Blue Cheese Dressing - YUM!
