Ingredients
For the Chicken Wings:
- 2 lbs (900 g) chicken wings (wingettes and drumettes separated)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg (optional, for extra flavor depth)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
How to Make Alfredo Chicken Wings :
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange on the Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness.
- Bake: Bake the wings for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce
- Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Cook Garlic: Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be cautious not to burn the garlic.
- Add Heavy Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Whisk in Parmesan: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until smooth and creamy. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg (optional).
Step 3: Toss Wings in Alfredo Sauce
- Combine Wings and Sauce: Once the wings are baked, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Add Alfredo Sauce: Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley.
Tips for Success
- Crispy Wings: Patting the wings dry before baking helps achieve crispiness. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust Sauce Consistency: If the Alfredo sauce gets too thick, thin it out with a splash of milk or chicken broth.
- Air Fryer Option: You can also cook the wings in an air fryer for an extra crispy texture. Adjust cooking time as necessary.
Serving Suggestions
- With Vegetables: Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or a side salad for a balanced meal.
- Dipping Sauces: Offer additional dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese.
- Perfect Drink Pairing: Pair with a crisp white wine or cold beer to complement the creamy Alfredo sauce.
