Ingredients:
- For the Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup cream cheese
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Place the wings on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart. Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, black pepper, and nutmeg (if using). Stir continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth. Remove from heat.
- Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the baked wings with the Alfredo sauce until evenly coated.
- Serve:
- Transfer the Alfredo-coated wings to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
- Serve hot, and enjoy your creamy Alfredo Chicken Wings with a side of extra sauce for dipping!
Tip: For an extra crispy finish, you can broil the wings for 2-3 minutes after baking, before coating them in the Alfredo sauce.
These Alfredo Chicken Wings bring a whole new level of indulgence to the table, perfect for your next gathering or dinner. Enjoy!
