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 the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil to ensure an easy cleanup process.
- Prepare the wings: In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Bake the wings: Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness. The wings should be golden brown and crispy when done.
- Make the Alfredo sauce: While the wings are baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Simmer the sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese along with salt and black pepper. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
- Toss wings in sauce: When the wings are fully cooked, remove them from the oven and immediately toss them in the creamy Alfredo sauce until thoroughly coated.
- Serve and garnish: Plate the wings and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, creamy flavors.
Notes
- For extra crispy wings, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- If you prefer a thicker Alfredo sauce, reduce the heavy cream slightly or add more Parmesan cheese.
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese melts better and offers superior flavor compared to pre-grated versions.
- This recipe can be doubled easily for larger gatherings.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat gently to avoid separating the sauce.
