This recipe provides instructions for making Creamy Alfredo Chicken Wings, a decadent and flavorful twist on classic chicken wings. These wings are typically cooked until crispy, either by baking, frying, or air frying, and then coated in a rich and creamy Alfredo sauce. The Alfredo sauce is usually made with butter, heavy cream, garlic, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. The combination of crispy chicken skin and the smooth, cheesy sauce creates a satisfying and indulgent appetizer or main course. Fresh herbs like parsley are often used as a garnish, adding a touch of freshness and visual appeal. The image shows several chicken wings on a white plate, generously coated in a pale, creamy white sauce that appears thick and cheesy, consistent with Alfredo sauce. Specks of black pepper and chopped green herbs are visible on the wings and in the sauce. A small white bowl containing more of the same creamy sauce is also on the plate, suggesting it’s served as a dipping sauce. The wings themselves have a slightly browned and crispy appearance.
The primary ingredient is chicken wings, typically separated into drumettes and wingettes.
The signature element is the Alfredo sauce, which usually consists of unsalted butter, heavy cream, minced garlic, freshly grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Seasonings for the wings themselves can include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika, applied before cooking to enhance their flavor.
Cooking oil may be needed if the wings are fried. For baking or air frying, a light coating of oil or cooking spray helps achieve crispiness.
Fresh parsley is often used as a garnish, adding a pop of color and a fresh, herbaceous note.
The preparation involves first seasoning the chicken wings. If frying, the wings are typically deep-fried until golden brown and cooked through. If baking, they are roasted in the oven until crispy. For an air fryer method, the wings are cooked in the air fryer until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches a safe level. While the wings are cooking, the Alfredo sauce is made by melting butter in a saucepan, sautéing garlic until fragrant, then adding heavy cream and bringing it to a simmer. Parmesan cheese is stirred in until melted and the sauce thickens. Salt and pepper are added to taste. Once the wings are cooked, they are tossed in the warm Alfredo sauce until evenly coated. The wings are then garnished with fresh parsley and served immediately with extra Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.
Creamy Alfredo Chicken Wings are best served hot, right after the sauce is added, to ensure the wings remain crispy and the sauce is warm and creamy.
The texture is a contrast between the crispy chicken skin and the smooth, rich Alfredo sauce. The meat inside is tender and juicy.
The flavor is a combination of savory chicken and a decadent, cheesy, and garlicky Alfredo sauce. The parsley garnish adds a touch of freshness.

- 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray (if baking or air frying)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Equipment:
- Large bowl (for seasoning wings)
- Baking sheet lined with parchment paper (if baking)
- Air fryer (if using)
- Deep fryer (if frying)
- Large saucepan or skillet (for Alfredo sauce)
- Whisk
- Serving plate
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil (if baking or air frying), salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (if using).
- Cook the Wings:
- Baking: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Air Frying: Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the wings in a single layer in the air fryer basket (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
- Frying: Heat cooking oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C). Fry the wings in batches for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a large saucepan or skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant (be careful not to burn it). Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the cream to slightly thicken. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Coat the Wings: Once the chicken wings are cooked and crispy, add them to the saucepan with the warm Alfredo sauce. Toss the wings gently but thoroughly until they are evenly coated in the sauce.
- Garnish and Serve: Transfer the Creamy Alfredo Chicken Wings to a serving plate. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with extra Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping, if desired.
