Ingredients:
For the Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings (drumettes and flats)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prep the Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel and transfer them to a large bowl.
- Drizzle olive oil over the wings and season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
- Bake the Wings:
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Prepare the Alfredo Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to low, then slowly whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Season the sauce with nutmeg (if using), salt, and pepper. Keep warm on low heat, stirring occasionally.
- Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat.
- Serve:
- Arrange the wings on a serving platter and garnish with chopped parsley for a pop of color and flavor. Serve immediately with your favorite sides or dipping sauces.
