Drain Liquid

After the air fryer is finished cooking, remove the entire basket from the air fryer. Release the air fryer basket from the drip pan. Set hot air fryer basket onto a plate or wood cutting board. Drain the liquid in the drip pan and dry clean with a paper towel.

Flip Wings

Flip wings over in the air fryer basket.

Cook

Attach the air fryer basket back onto the drip pan. Place back into the air fryer and close. Set the air fryer temperature to 400° F (205° C) for 15 minutes and press the cook button.
While the wings are cooking, set aside a plate, tongs, and a pastry brush or rubber spatula and prepare the seasoning in the next step.

Make the Seasoning

Chop the garlic into small pieces and set aside. In a pan over low heat, melt the butter. Pour melted butter into a small bowl. To the bowl of butter, add the chopped garlic. Mix well. (The sauce should be thin and liquidy. If it's too thick, like a paste, add more melted butter.) Pour shredded parmesan cheese into a separate bowl.

Check the Temperature of the Wings

When the air fryer is finished cooking, pull out the air fryer basket. Using a meat thermometer, check the wings (especially the drummettes) to make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 165° F (75° C). Cook for 2-3 minutes longer, if needed.

Coat with Seasoning

Pull out the air fryer basket. Using tongs, remove the wings and place onto a plate. Using tongs, pick up each wing and dunk into bowl of garlic butter sauce, making sure to coat both sides. Next, coat each wing with parmesan cheese. Serve while wings are hot.

Notes

Because chicken wing drummettes tend to be larger and meatier than joints, drummettes may take longer to cook. So when you are using a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature, the joints may be fully cooked while drummettes need to cook longer. Make sure to take the temperature of the drummettes.

I find it easier to cook them all together for a longer time than to remove the joints. But do whatever works best for you.
