Garlic Parmesan Buffalo Wings
Notes
*I like my wings extra hot. So I use ¼ cup Frank’s RedHot for body and a ¼ cup of something hotter, such as El Yucateco. I also like Melinda’s XXXXtra Reserve Habanero Pepper Sauce.
* The Cosori Air Fryer has settings for various foods. I use the chicken setting, then adjust the time to 35 minutes.
*If you are using an air fryer that has a rack turn the wings every 10 minutes.
*Feel free to experiment with the seasonings on the chicken wings. If you have a favorite seasoning salt, sprinkle that on your wings after you coat them with the oil.
Ingredients
- 2.5 – 3 pounds chicken wing sections
- ¼ cup avocado oil
- ½ tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 4 Tbls. unsalted butter
- 4 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 1½ tsp garlic powder, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup hot sauce*
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Pat wings dry and place in a large mixing bowl. Coat the wings with avocado oil. In a small bowl, mix 1 tsp garlic powder, kosher salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika*. Season the oil-coated wings with the spice mix.
- Preheat your air fryer*. Place chicken wings in the air fryer, then program the air fryer to cook 35 minutes at 380°. Shake the wings every 10 minutes.* It helps to set a separate timer.
- While the wings are cooking, combine the butter, apple cider vinegar, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes, ½ tsp garlic powder, minced garlic, and hot sauce in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat to slowly melt the butter. Stir frequently to keep the butter from separating. Once the butter melts, add the parmesan cheese. Remove pan from the heat.
- Once the wings have finished cooking, place them in a clean mixing bowl. Pour the finished sauce over the wings and stir to coat.
- Serve wings with celery sticks and ranch or bleu cheese dressing.
