4 large garlic cloves finely chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped parsley or 1 teaspoon dried

Notes

Cooking temperature – The wings are different temperatures. First, at a medium heat to cook the wings and then at a higher temperature to crisp up.

Pat dry – Patting the chicken wings dry will help them in crisping up

Do not over lap – Spread out wings, they are in a single layer. I used 6-quart Instant vortex air fryer and was able to cook 2 pounds wings in a single layer.

Parsley – Don’t have fresh parsley? Use a teaspoon of dried parsley
