- Now, in a bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, dried parsley, and grated parmesan cheese.
- Mix nicely.
- Now, in a bowl, beat 2 eggs for egg wash. Keep aside.
- Take a bowl or box that has a cover lid, put the chicken wings in the bowl, and apply the seasoning to the wings by covering them with the spice rub and tossing until the meat is thoroughly coated.
- Now take one seasoned chicken wing and dip it in egg wash.
- Then take it out and coat it well in the panko and cheese mixture.

Notes
Consider these key points when preparing these delectable crispy garlic parmesan wings.
- Bring the wings to room temperature by taking them out of the fridge 30 minutes before cooking. Allowing the wings to reach room temperature before placing them in the air fryer ensures they remain juicy during the cooking process.
- Ensure thorough drying of the wings by using a paper towel. Be meticulous in removing all moisture from the wings, facilitating an extra crispy texture.
- Avoid overcrowding the wings in the air fryer basket. Provide ample space between each wing to allow for proper air circulation, ensuring they achieve a crispy texture. If your quantity exceeds the basket capacity, consider cooking the wings in batches.
- When applying an egg wash to the chicken, it’s crucial to use a gentle touch and avoid excessive coating. Over-coating may lead to a dense and soggy breading or coating that doesn’t achieve optimal crispiness. For the best results, it is advised to dip the chicken in the egg wash, shake off any excess, and then coat it with the preferred breading or coating.
