  • Mix all ingredients together and leave on rack overnight in the fridge to air dry
  • Preheat the air fryer to 210C

  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly
  • Add parsley and most of the parmesan cheese and mix well
  • Toss the cooked wings in the sauce and serve immediately, top with the remaining parmesan cheese to serve

Frank’s hot wings

  • One garlic butter sauce
  • 1/4 bottle Frank’s hot sauce

Ingredients:

  • If making, double the recipe for the garlic wings and take half after the garlic is cooked (but before parsley and parmesan are added)
  • 1/4 bottle Frank’s hot sauce (or to taste)
  • Toss the cooked wings in the sauce and serve immediately
