These savory garlic Parmesan chicken wings were just absolutely fantastic. Nutty Parmesan cheese pairs well with earthy garlic. For me, just a little bit of cool Ranch dressing for dipping is all that is required. I want to enjoy the flavor of the wings, so I just dip a bit, if at all. The sauce is mighty finger-licking good. And it’s loaded with garlic, my favorite.
Great Wings. Very Great Wings.
I cooked these garlic Parmesan wings on my Weber charcoal grill using the Vortex, which gives me that great crunchy skin and fantastic grilled flavor without a lot of effort. In fact, just about no effort whatsoever. It takes about 45 minutes for me to get the charcoal in the Vortex good and hot. Then it takes about another 45 minutes to cook the wings. The wings take on a great hint of charcoal flavor to boot, which is a nice change from deep-fried or even air-fried wings.

What Are You Waiting For?
Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

My Trusty Wingman
My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!
