Here’s What You Need:
For the Wings:
2 lbs (around 30-35) chicken wings
1 cup beer (lager or ale if you’re feeling classy, IPA if you’re feeling bold)
2 tablespoons olive oil (fancy, huh?)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (because butter is life)
6 cloves garlic, minced (we’re not messing around)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (the real stuff, not that powdered imposter)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest (just to be fancy)
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for those who like it spicy)
Salt and black pepper to taste

Directions
1. Marinate Like a Pro
In a big bowl, mix up your chicken wings with beer, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Massage those flavors in like you mean it. Cover and let them soak up all the goodness in the fridge for at least 1 hour (or up to 4 if you can be that patient).
2. Get That Crispy Finish – Oven or Air Fryer?
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. No wire rack? Just parchment paper is fine!
Oven Method: Arrange the wings on the rack in a single layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through to get them evenly crispy.
Air Fryer Method: Place the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 25-30 minutes, shaking the basket halfway for even crispiness.
3. Whip Up the Garlic Parmesan Sauce
While your wings are getting crispy, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Toss in the minced garlic and sauté until your kitchen smells like heaven (about 1-2 minutes). Stir in lemon zest and red pepper flakes (if using). Remove from heat and mix in grated Parmesan and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Toss, Toss, Toss
Once your wings are ready, throw them into a big bowl and pour the garlic Parmesan sauce all over. Toss like a pro until every wing is fully coated in cheesy, garlicky bliss.
5. Serve and Impress
Garnish with extra Parmesan, parsley, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for that restaurant-style finish. Serve these bad boys with celery sticks and a cool dipping sauce like ranch or blue cheese dressing.
