Ingredients

  • 2 lbs chicken wings (split into drumettes and flats)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken Wings
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat oil in a deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
    • Pat the chicken wings dry using paper towels to remove excess moisture.
    • In a large mixing bowl, season the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and olive oil. Toss well to ensure even coating.
  2. Bake or Fry the Wings
    • Baking Method: Arrange wings in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
    • Frying Method: Carefully lower wings into hot oil and fry for 8-10 minutes or until crispy and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  3. Prepare the Alfredo Sauce
    • In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
    • Pour in heavy cream and stir continuously until it begins to simmer.
    • Gradually add grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
    • Season with Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
  4. Coat the Wings
    • Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl and pour the warm Alfredo sauce over them. Toss gently to ensure each wing is well coated.
  5. Serve and Garnish
    • Arrange the Alfredo-coated wings on a serving plate.
    • Sprinkle with chopped parsley and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
    • Serve immediately with extra Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips for the Best Alfredo Chicken Wings

  • For extra crispiness, broil the baked wings for an additional 5 minutes before coating them in the sauce.
  • If the Alfredo sauce becomes too thick, thin it out with a splash of milk.
  • You can air fry the wings at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  • Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce for a zesty twist.
