I don’t know why some things take me SO LONG to hop on the bandwagon, but MAN OH MAN the air fryer is something we have ALL been missing out on!  That is, if you haven’t yet used one. If you have been around for long enough, you know that all things low carb/keto for my family and I need to be STUPID EASY… I love playing around with some of the more complicated recipes, but to be honest, I am a TIRED mom of a very busy baby. Ain’t no body got time for ALL THE KETO CRAZY!  (though I love and adore all my friends who make the amazing intricate recipes. You are all my heroes!)

So thats where the Air Fryer comes in. 
Well, along with the Instant Pot! Omg the BEST APPLIANCE IN THE HISTORY OF EVER. Are those enough caps for you to emphasize my point? A little extra? That’s ok!

Back to business.  Air Fry my friends!

Back during Amazon Prime Day, I scored the Bella Air Fryer (2.7Qt) on major sale because I wanted to give this whole “crisp all the things” a try!  I didn’t realize they came in different sizes, so as you are starting your journey, make sure to consider what your family needs! The Bella is great, easy to use but a bit on the small side. It can fit 3-4 chicken thighs or about 12-14 wings. Not bad for a family of 2-3 but if you need some more space, or want any leftovers, I recommend some of the XL sizing options!  

To help you in your discovery, here are my top AIR FRY picks!

GREAT VALUE: Ultrean Air Fryer-4.2Qt (Under $70m with great ratings!)
BIGGEST SIZE: Big Boss Oil-Less Fryer 16Qt (Great price, HUGE, decent reviews)
BELLS AND WHISTLES: Cosori 11 Preset 5.8QT (Tons of features, good price!)

Ok Ok… Back to the reason you are here!

Parmesan Garlic Air Fry WINGS!!!

These were so so good that we had them the last 2 nights in a row. Best part though, I cooked them FROM FROZEN and they came out to a crispy perfection.  I am not joking how good these are but also how STUPID EASY they are to whip up!

We tossed them in a blend of melted butter, parmesan cheese and minced garlic. Lip smacking, butter all over your face kind of GOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!

Go crazy with all the Keto sauces your heart desires!  There are tons of great SF BBQ sauces as well as Ranch and Honey Mustard.  Or stay plain Jane like us and toss in butter and some garlic and you are sure to bring the whole family back to the table for more!

INGREDIENTS

-Fresh or Frozen Chicken Wings (Amount depends on size of your air fryer. You can always do multiple batches since they cook up quick! Thawed will cook a little over 20m)
-Salt and Pepper to Taste
-Keto/SF sauce of your choice

DIRECTIONS

-Turn on Air Fryer temp to 375/380 for thawed chicken.  (I cooked at 400 for frozen)
-Stack wings in basket. Don’t worry about them being flat or on top of each other, they start to shrink in size as they cook and can be slightly on top of each other. 
-Spray base and top of wings lightly with a bit of coconut oil. 
-Sprinkle salt and other seasonings on top to taste. 
-Cook for about 25min, flipping wings over half way through. 
-When time is up, increase temp to 400 for an additional 5-6min. (I have forgotten this step a few times and they still turn out great. This will give an added crisp!)
-Transfer immediately to bowl and toss in your favorite sauce!

SAUCES
-Parm Garlic: Melted butter, parmesan cheese and garlic (Amounts vary depending on serving size.) Melt butter and add minced garlic. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese and drizzle butter mixture over wings. Toss to coat and save some in bowl to dip your STUPID EAST BAGELS into for a delectable treat!
-SF BBQ Sauce, Honey Mustard or Ranch work great as well. 
-Any low carb dry rub. Sprinkle onto wings BEFORE cooking for most enhanced flavor!

I hope this gives you excitement and confidence in using your Air Fryer.  I would also looooooooooove to hear from you some of your other favorite KETO recipes you have tried. We love friend shrimp and chicken thighs but look forward to venturing out with some new ways to use our Air Fryer in the near future!

Have an amazing time cooking keto in the kitchen and I look forward to hearing about all your amazing recipes soon!

CHEERS & KETONES,
