    • Chicken Wings: I always pick wings with the skin on for that extra crispiness, but if you can't find them, boneless pieces work just fine too.
    • Seasoning Powders: Just a simple mix of ginger, garlic, pepper, paprika, and salt. These spices really bring the wings to life.
    • Corn Starch and All-Purpose Flour: I use this combo to coat the wings. The corn starch keeps things light and crispy, while the flour adds a nice crunch.
    • Butter: It's essential for a rich and creamy sauce that coats each wing beautifully.
    • Garlic: I go for fresh garlic here. It makes all the difference with its punchy aroma and flavor.
    • Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan is my way to go—it melts beautifully and really brings a robust cheesy flavor to the wings. But if all you have is pre-grated cheese, don't worry, it'll still taste great!
    • Parsley: A little chopped parsley on top for a fresh, herby finish—it’s perfect for cutting through the richness of the sauce.

    Instructions
     

    Prepare the Coating

    • In a large bowl, combine chicken wings with a mix of ginger, garlic powder, chili or paprika powder, black pepper, and salt for a robust flavor. Add cornstarch and all-purpose flour to ensure the wings get that perfect crispy finish. Toss well until the wings are evenly coated.

    Fry the Wings

    • Heat the oil in a pan over medium heat to ensure even cooking. Carefully place the wings in the hot oil one by one, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.

    • Fry them for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. This ensures a perfectly cooked interior and a crunchy exterior.

    • Once the wings are fried, remove them from the oil and let them drain on a wire rack over a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate. This step helps to keep them crispy by allowing excess oil to drip off without making the wings soggy.

    Making Garlic Parmesan Wings

    • In a separate pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced fresh garlic and cook until it smells great to infuse the sauce with rich garlic flavor. Sprinkle in a pinch of chili flakes for a subtle heat, stirring to mix well.

    Chef's Notes and Tips

    Here are my personal tips to elevate your Garlic Parmesan Wings:
    • Proper Drying: Before coating the wings in flour and cornstarch, make sure they're completely dry. I always pat them down with paper towels. This step is key because it helps the coating stick better and ensures the wings turn out crispier after frying.
    • Consistent Cooking: To get each wing perfectly crispy, avoid overcrowding the pan or fryer. I usually cook in batches. This way, each wing gets evenly cooked and crispy.
    • Crispy and Crunchy Texture: Using a mix of corn starch and all-purpose flour for coating the wings is crucial for achieving that irresistible crispy and crunchy texture. Trust me, it makes a difference!
    • Optimal Taste and Flavor: For the seasoning, I like to use a blend of garlic, ginger, pepper powder, and paprika. Don't hold back on the garlic, especially in the Parmesan sauce—it really enhances the dish's overall taste and flavor.
    • Adding Parmesan Cheese: For the best flavor, try sprinkling Parmesan cheese over the wings just before serving. This gives them a delightful crunch. The cheese melts a bit, creating a creamy texture that complements the crunch beautifully, enhancing both the flavor and the overall eating experience.
    • Cooking Flexibility: Although I use just a minimal amount of oil for frying in this recipe, feel free to adjust the cooking method to your preference. Whether you deep-fry, air-fry, or bake the wings, they'll turn out great.
    • Air Fryer Method: For convenience, I've also included instructions for cooking chicken wings in an air fryer below. If you're looking for a healthier option or just want to avoid the mess of deep frying, this method is perfect.

    Serving and Storage Suggestions

    Garlic Parmesan Wings: Air Fryer Method

    For a healthier twist on a classic favorite, try making your Garlic Parmesan Wings in an air fryer. This method keeps the wings wonderfully crispy without needing much oil. Here’s how to do it:

    • Preheat the Air Fryer: Lightly spray your air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking. Preheat the air fryer to 380°F for about 5 minutes, though the exact time may vary depending on your model.
    • Arrange the Wings: Once the air fryer is preheated, arrange the seasoned chicken wings in a single layer in the basket. Be sure not to overcrowd them to allow for even cooking.
    • Temperature Setting: Cook the wings at 380°F. Start the timer for 20 minutes.
    • Pause and Flip: Halfway through cooking, at the 10-minute mark, pause the air fryer and open the basket to flip the wings. This ensures they cook evenly on all sides.
    • Continue Cooking: After flipping, continue cooking for the remaining 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as cooking times can vary based on the air fryer model and the size of the wings.
    • Check Doneness: Around the 15-minute mark, check the wings. They should be nearing a crispy finish. Adjust the final cooking time if needed to ensure they are evenly cooked and crisp.
    • Final Step: Once the wings are thoroughly cooked and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Toss them in the garlic Parmesan sauce and garnish with fresh parsley leaves, just as you would with the oil-fried version.

    This air fryer method not only offers a healthier alternative but also delivers deliciously crispy Garlic Parmesan Wings with less oil.
