Wing Flavor Rub:
- 1 tablespoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
- 1 teaspoon Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
- Salt (to taste)
Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce:
- ¼ cup Butter (melted)
- 5 cloves Garlic (minced)
- ¼ cup Parsley (fresh, chopped)
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese (freshly grated)
Prep the Chicken Wings: Pat the wings dry with paper towels—this helps them get crispy while cooking. Place the wings in a large bowl.
Add the Oil: Drizzle 2 tablespoons avocado oil over the wings. Until everything is well-coated.
Mix the Dry Rub: In a small bowl, combine, 1 tablespoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon baking powder. Add salt to taste on the wings then sprinkle the rub all over the wings and toss to coat evenly.
Cook the Wings: Oven Method
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
Cook the Wings: Air Fryer Method
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place wings in a single layer in the basket (cook in batches if needed). Air fry for 22–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat melt ¼ cup butter, add 5 cloves garlic (minced), sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, stir in ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley and ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese. Remove from heat
Toss & Serve: When the wings are done, toss them in the warm garlic parmesan sauce in a large mixing bowl. Return the wings to the baking sheet and place them back into the oven for five additional minutes. Serve hot with extra Parmesan on top if you like!
