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) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Toss wings with seasoning: In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Bake the wings: Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
- Prepare Alfredo sauce: While the wings bake, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Simmer sauce: Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
- Toss wings in sauce: Once wings are fully cooked and crispy, remove them from the oven, then toss them thoroughly in the creamy Alfredo sauce until well coated.
- Garnish and serve: Serve the wings garnished with freshly chopped parsley and enjoy immediately.
Notes
- You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
- For extra crispy wings, broil for 2-3 minutes after baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor in the Alfredo sauce.
- Leftover wings can be refrigerated and reheated gently to preserve sauce creaminess.
- Optional: add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce for a spicy kick.
