Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings (split into flats and drumettes)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp olive oil (for baking) or 2 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken Wings: Pat the wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps achieve a crispier texture.
- Season the Wings: In a large bowl, toss the wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika to ensure even coating.
- Choose Cooking Method:
- For Baked Wings: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
- For Fried Wings: Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C). Fry the wings in batches for about 8–10 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
- Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Add Cheese and Seasonings: Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
- Coat the Wings: Transfer the cooked wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over them and toss until well-coated.
- Serve and Garnish: Arrange the wings on a serving plate, garnish with chopped parsley, and enjoy while warm.
