Alfredo Chicken Wings

by
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Wings
  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. Season Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they are not overcrowded to achieve maximum crispiness.
  4. Bake: Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip them halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
Step 2: Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
  1. Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
  2. Cook Garlic: Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cream is slightly thickened.
  4. Add Cheese: Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has thickened. Season with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using).
Step 3: Toss the Wings in Alfredo Sauce
  1. Combine Wings and Sauce: Once the wings are baked and crispy, transfer them to a large bowl.
  2. Add Sauce: Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
  3. Garnish: Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

Tips for Success

  • Crispy Wings: Patting the wings dry before baking helps to achieve a crispier skin. Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
  • Sauce Consistency: If the Alfredo sauce gets too thick, you can thin it out with a splash of milk or chicken broth.
  • Alternative Cooking Methods: You can also cook the wings in an air fryer for extra crispiness. Adjust the cooking time as needed.

Serving Suggestions

  • With Vegetables: Serve with celery sticks, carrot sticks, or a side salad for a balanced meal.
  • Dipping Sauces: Offer extra dipping sauces like ranch or blue cheese for additional flavor options.
  • Accompaniment: Pair with a light, crisp white wine or a cold beer to complement the rich flavors of the Alfredo sauce.

Alfredo Chicken Wings combine the best of both worlds: the savory richness of Alfredo sauce and the crispy goodness of chicken wings. This recipe is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at any gathering, providing a delicious and unique twist on a classic favorite. Enjoy your flavorful, creamy wings!
