Instructions
Separate wings into their three parts - the drummettes, flats, and tips; discard tips. Pat wings dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place wings in basket, spritzing them with the cooking spray as well.
Set air fryer to 380 degrees F and cook for 12 minutes. Flip wings, spritz with cooking spray, then cook another 12 minutes. When cook time is up, increase temperature to 400 degrees F and cook an additional 5 minutes to crisp the skin.
Transfer cooked wings to a large bowl and toss in sauce of choice until coated.
If desired, return wings to the air fryer and cook 4-5 minutes until sauce is sticky. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish as desired before serving.
Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce
In a large bowl, stir together HOT melted butter, garlic, Parmesan, and red pepper flakes. Add wings and toss until completely coated. Garnish with additional Parmesan and parsley.
