Use a sharp knife to apply pressure between the two different joints in the whole wings to easily slice through and separate them. You should then have three pieces, the drumette, wingette and wing tip. If the knife doesn't go through easily, reposition it and try again.
Discard the wing tips and pat the drumettes and wingettes as dry as possible with paper towels to help remove any excess moisture.
In a small bowl, add the garlic powder, Italian seasoning, parmesan cheese, kosher salt and baking powder. Mix until everything is well combined.
In a large bowl, toss the drumettes and wingettes with the dry rub mixture until all of the chicken pieces are evenly coated and no seasoning is left at the bottom of the bowl.
Working in batches, air fry the chicken in a single layer at 400˚ for 10 minutes. Flip the wing pieces over and air fry for an additional 8-10 minutes. The chicken should be a deep golden brown color and cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚ when checked with a kitchen thermometer.
While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a small skillet over medium low heat. Add the garlic and let the mixture simmer for 1-2 minutes until it becomes fragrant.
When all the wings have been cooked, toss them in a large bowl with the garlic butter and sprinkle with extra parmesan cheese before serving.
