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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
