Instructions

Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and place them into a mixing bowl.
Toss the wings with olive oil and some salt, pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
Place some chicken wings into the air-fryer basket, in one layer.
Air-fry at 380° for about 25 minutes and make sure to toss them every 7-10 minutes to ensure even cooking.
To make the garlic parmesan sauce, combine all of the ingredients in a mixing bowl and whisk well.
NOTE: if you're making 2-3 batches of wings at a time, make sure to separate the sauce into batches as well. To be able to toss each batch in sauce.
Toss the wings in some sauce and place them back into the fryer. Air-fry the coated wings at 400° for about 5-6 minutes, until nicely golden brown.
To keep the wings warm in between cooking batches: preheat the oven to 200° and keep the wings in the warm oven while cooking another batch.

Notes

- No 380°F setting? Unfortunately, some models don't have a setting for that exact temperature. You will most likely have the settings 375°F and then a jump to 390°F. At that point, cook them at 390°F for a little less time, about 20-22 minutes, then raise the temperature to 400°F for 5-6 minutes.
- Storing: If you happen to have any leftovers, you can store those wings in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Reheat them right in the air fryer at 380°F for 2-3 minutes for the best results. (Large chicken wings are better to reheat at 360°F for 3-4 minutes.)
