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:
- 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.
- 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. - 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.
- 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). - 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. - 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.
