- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 2-3 cloves garlic minced

Instructions
Prep the Wings:
- Pat the wings dry using paper towels to help them crisp up in the air fryer.
- Place them in a large bowl.
Season the Wings:
- Drizzle olive oil over the wings and toss to coat.
- Add garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Toss again until evenly coated.
Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
Cook the Wings:
- Arrange the wings in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Avoid overcrowding.
- Cook at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- While wings cook, melt butter in a small pan over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant (don’t let it burn!).
- Remove from heat and stir in grated Parmesan cheese to create a rich, cheesy sauce.
Toss and Serve:
- Once wings are done, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and gently toss to coat.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
