Ingredients:

  • 10-12 chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven or Air Fryer:
    • Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
    • Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Prepare the Wings:
    Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to ensure they become crispy. Drizzle olive oil over the wings and season them generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Cook the Wings:
    • Oven: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
    • Air Fryer: Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket and cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
  4. Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
    While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  5. Coat the Wings:
    Once the wings are cooked, place them in a large bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated.
  6. Serve:
    Transfer the wings to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Enjoy with a side of keto-friendly dipping sauce, if desired.
