Yield: 4+ servings
Prep Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Cooking Time: 13–15 minutes per batch
Total Time: 1 hour 33–35 minutes
INGREDIENTS:
For the Marinade:
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- Oil for misting
- Cooking spray
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cloves garlic, mashed flat
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 bay leaf
For the Coating:
- 1½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ cup breadcrumbs
- 1½ tablespoons garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Mix all marinade ingredients together.
- Remove wing tips (the third joint) and discard or freeze for stock. Cut the remaining wings at the joint and toss them into the marinade, stirring to coat well. Refrigerate for at least an hour but no more than 8 hours.
- When ready to cook, combine all coating ingredients in a shallow dish.
- Remove wings from marinade, shaking off excess, and roll in coating mixture. Press coating into wings so that it sticks well. Spray wings with oil.
- Spray air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place wings in the basket in a single layer, close but not touching.
- Cook at 360°F for 13 to 15 minutes or until chicken is done and juices run clear.
- Repeat the previous step to cook the remaining wings.
TIPS:
- The second wing joint cooks faster than the meatier drum joint. Cook the drum joints in one batch and the second joints in another. When ready to serve, you can toss the first batch back in the air fryer for a minute to reheat if needed.
