Print Recipe

A quick and easy recipe for crispy, flavorful chicken wing drumettes coated with garlic, Parmesan, and panko breadcrumbs, cooked to perfection in an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wing drumettes, skin-on
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup (50 grams) grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup (50 grams) panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground if possible
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (optional)
  • A handful fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken wing drumettes dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture (approx. 5 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Stir to blend evenly.
  3. Drizzle olive oil over the wings in a separate bowl and toss until each piece is lightly coated.
  4. Add the oiled wings to the dry mix bowl and toss gently but thoroughly to evenly coat each drumette.
  5. Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and let warm for about 3 minutes.
  6. Place coated wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not touching. Cook in batches if needed.
  7. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 20-22 minutes, flipping halfway through (around 10-11 minutes), until golden-brown, crispy, and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Remove wings and let rest for 3-5 minutes to set the coating.
  9. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top before serving.

Notes

Pat wings dry before seasoning for best crispiness. Do not overcrowd air fryer basket to avoid steaming. Flip wings halfway through cooking. Rest wings uncovered after cooking to keep crust crunchy. For gluten-free, substitute panko with almond flour or gluten-free crackers. For dairy-free, omit Parmesan or use vegan alternative.
