🔥 Instructions

1. Cook the Wings:

In the oven:

• Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C), fan setting if possible.
• In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

In the air fryer:

• Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
• Air fry wings for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through, until crisp and cooked through.

2. Make the Sauce:

• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
• Add chopped garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant (don’t let it brown).
• Remove from heat, stir in parmesan and parsley.

3. Coat & Serve:

• Place hot wings in a large mixing bowl.
• Pour the garlic-parmesan butter over them and toss well to coat.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges or ranch dipping sauce.

💡 Pro Tip: Sprinkle a little extra parmesan on top right before serving for that cheesy finish!
