Allergen tags are cooking labels. They are not medical advice.
Ingredients
- 1 lb / 454 g Chicken wings
- 1 Tbsp / 13.5 g Olive oil, for the wings
- 1 tsp / 3.1 g Garlic powder, for the wings
- 1 tsp / 2.4 g Onion powder, for the wings
- 1 tsp / 2.3 g Paprika, for the wings
- 1 tsp / 6 g Salt
- 1/2 tsp / 1.15 g Black pepper
- 4 Tbsp / 56 g Salted butter
- 3 / 9 g Garlic cloves, for the wings
- 3 Tbsp / 23 g Parmesan cheese, for the wings
- 3 Tbsp / 12 g Fresh parsley, for the wings
- not weighed Oil, for the basket
Method
- Heat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). The post says to spray the basket lightly with oil. That spray is not weighed, so it is not in the count.
- Toss 1 pound of chicken wings with 1 tablespoon of oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. The post says avocado oil or olive oil. This card uses olive oil. The post writes the wings as 1 lb (454 g). A tablespoon of olive oil is 13.5 g. The garlic powder is 3.1 g, the onion powder is 2.4 g, the paprika is 2.3 g, the salt is 6 g, and the black pepper is 1.15 g.
- Lay the wings in one layer. Do not crowd the basket. Cook them in batches if they pile up. Air fry 12 minutes, flip them, and cook 10 minutes more, until they are golden, crisp, and cooked through, with no pink meat at the bone.
- While the wings cook, melt 4 tablespoons of salted butter in a small pan over medium heat. The post writes 56 g. Add 3 garlic cloves, minced. A clove is 3 g, so 3 are 9 g. Stir about 1 minute, until the garlic smells fragrant and has not browned. Stir in 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan and 2 tablespoons of the parsley. The post writes 3 tablespoons (23 g) of Parmesan and 3 tablespoons (12 g) of parsley in all. The rest of each goes on at the end. Take the pan off the heat.
- Put the cooked wings in a large bowl. Pour the sauce over them and toss until they are coated. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan and the remaining parsley. The post cuts 4 servings. Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for a few days. Reheat until the wings are hot in the center.
Nutrition
Kitchen estimate only, not lab-verified. Counted as 1 of 4 plates. The post gives that yield. The wings, the oil, the garlic powder, the onion powder, the paprika, the salt, the pepper, the butter, the garlic, the Parmesan, and the parsley are in the count. The basket spray is not weighed, so it is not in the count. The wings are 1 lb, 454 g, the weight the post wrote. The row is raw wing meat and skin. The drip in the basket is not weighed, so the raw weight stays. The oil is 1 tablespoon, 13.5 g. The post allows avocado oil. This card uses olive oil. The garlic powder is 1 teaspoon, 3.1 g. The onion powder is 1 teaspoon, 2.4 g. The paprika is 1 teaspoon, 2.3 g. The salt is 1 teaspoon of table salt, 6 g. The pepper is 1/2 teaspoon, 1.15 g, the ground spoon. The butter is 4 tablespoons, 56 g, the weight the post wrote, and the row is salted butter. The garlic is 3 cloves, 9 g. The Parmesan is 3 tablespoons, 23 g, the weight the post wrote. A USDA tablespoon of grated Parmesan is 5 g, and that lighter spoon is not used. The parsley is 3 tablespoons, 12 g, the weight the post wrote. Added sugars are 0. The card did not list a sweetener. Sugars in the spices, the butter, the cheese, and the parsley round to 0. The salt, the salted butter, and the Parmesan are the salty parts. One plate is 875 mg sodium.

Guest diet / allergy swaps
Short kitchen notes for guests. A fuller gluten-free or dairy-free ingredient list, when we have one, is in the panels below.
Dairy-free
The dairy in the count is the salted butter and the Parmesan. Use a butter whose package does not list milk, and a Parmesan whose package does not list milk, or leave the cheese off. The wings, the oil, the garlic, and the spices stay. This is a kitchen note, not a dairy-free certification.
- United States: A butter and a Parmesan whose packages do not list milk, or no cheese. The wings stay.
- United Kingdom: A butter and a Parmesan with no milk, or leave the cheese off.
Gluten-free style
Wheat, when it shows up, is in the Parmesan or a blended spice. Use a Parmesan and spice jars whose packages do not list wheat. The butter and the cheese stay, so this plate is not dairy-free. This is a kitchen note, not a gluten-free certification.
- United States: Parmesan and spice jars whose packages do not list wheat. The butter stays, so this plate is not dairy-free.
- United Kingdom: Parmesan and spice jars marked gluten free. The butter stays.
No chicken
These are chicken wings. They are not written for another meat. A different protein would be a different plate.
- United States: These are chicken wings. They are not written for another meat.
- United Kingdom: The same note. This is a chicken plate.
