Ingredients
Chicken Wings
- 2 lb chicken wings
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Alfredo Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prepare Wings: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In the meantime, season the chicken wings evenly with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange the wings in a single layer to ensure even cooking.
- Bake Wings: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wings for 40 minutes, allowing them to become crispy and thoroughly cooked.
- Make Alfredo Sauce: While the wings bake, melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and stir for about a minute to release the aroma. Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring continuously. Gradually add the shredded Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Remove the sauce from heat.
- Toss Wings in Sauce: Once wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings and toss thoroughly to coat each piece with the creamy sauce.
- Serve: Serve the Alfredo chicken wings immediately while hot. Optionally, you can pour the sauce on top of the wings instead of tossing before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and smooth sauce texture.
- Garlic powder in the wings and fresh garlic in the sauce add layered garlic flavor — do not omit both.
- Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese or ranch dressing for a classic wings experience.
- Leftover wings can be refrigerated for up to 3 days; reheat gently in an oven to preserve crispiness.
