Directions
- 1
Roughly chop the onion and blend it with the lemon juice and Dijon mustard for about 1 minute until you get a smooth marinade.
- 2
Add the peeled garlic cloves, chopped parsley, and grated parmesan. Blend for another minute, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 3
Place the chicken wings in a large bowl or zip-lock bag. Pour the marinade over them and toss to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for deeper flavor.
- 4
Preheat the air fryer to 390°F (200°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the basket and cook for 15 minutes, setting the remaining marinade aside.
- 5
Flip the wings with tongs, spoon the reserved marinade over them, and cook for another 15 minutes until deeply golden and crispy.
- 6
Serve hot alongside a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or steamed rice.
💡 Chef's Tip
Pat the wings dry with paper towels before marinating — moisture is the enemy of crispiness. Swap Dijon for whole-grain mustard if you prefer a more rustic, textured flavor.
