Substitutions

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can I use frozen wings in this wing recipe?

Absolutely! You can. Make sure that the chicken wings are thawed before air frying them. You can also air fry the frozen wings immediately, yet you should add about 6-8 minutes to the cooking time.

Can I make garlic parmesan sauce ahead of time?

Yes, you can! Make the sauce ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to use, reheat the sauce in the microwave.

I don’t have an air fryer; can I make this recipe in the oven?

Yes, for sure! All you have to do is to preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line the baking sheet with aluminum foil, then set a wire rack on it. After that, place wings and bake chicken wings for 50 minutes.

Variations

Spicy: Not everyone likes spicy chicken wings. In case you want to make your Crispy keto Air Fryer Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings spicier, add cayenne pepper or crushed red peppers when you season chicken wings.

Buttery: If you like buttery flavor, you can make a wonderful garlic butter herb sauce. In a mixing bowl, add minced garlic, lemon zest, and fresh finely chopped parsley. Then over the garlic mixture, pour melted butter and stir until well combined.

Seasoning: You can season chicken wings according to the cuisines and tastes you love. For an Italian Flavor, use oregano, basil, thyme, rosemary, sage, and olive oil. For a Mexican Flavor, use chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, onion powder, and garlic.

Top Tips

The best way to get a crispy skin of your air-fried chicken wings is to pat them dry after rinsing. Pat drying before helps to get rid of the moisture, which makes your chicken skin crispy.

For an easy cleaning after deep frying, line the air fryer basket with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

After air frying chicken wings for 10 minutes, flip them and air fry for additional 10 minutes.

Air fry the chicken wings until the internal temperature of the wings is 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to measure the inside temperature.

The size of the wings you use may vary, so the air frying time may also vary a little bit depending on that. Keep an eye on your wings to make sure you do not overcook or undercook.

Food Safety

Do not use the same utensils on cooked food, that previously touched raw chicken wings.
Wash hands after touching raw chicken wings.
Don’t leave food at room temperature out of the refrigerator for extended periods, especially the raw chicken.
Never leave cooking food unattended.
