Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil to ensure easy cleanup.
- Season Wings: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until they are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Bake Wings: Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes, turning the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness. Bake until wings are golden and crispy.
- Prepare Alfredo Sauce: While wings are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
- Simmer Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, and season with salt and black pepper. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce has thickened smoothly.
- Toss Wings in Sauce: Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them in the creamy Alfredo sauce to coat them evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve the coated wings garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Enjoy these creamy, flavorful wings as a delicious snack or entrée.
Notes
- You can use a wire rack on the baking sheet for even crispier wings.
- Adjust the garlic and Parmesan cheese in the sauce to your taste preference for stronger or milder flavors.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce.
- Make sure to toss the wings in the sauce right after baking to capture maximum flavor and coating.
