Alfredo Chicken Wings


  • Author: Imili Johnson
  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

Preparation:

Step 1:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Preparing the oven early ensures it’s ready to go once your chicken wings are seasoned.

Step 2:
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Make sure all the wings are evenly coated with the seasoning. This will enhance the flavor of the wings and help them achieve a beautiful golden brown crisp in the oven.

Step 3:
Arrange the seasoned wings on a baking sheet in a single layer. Make sure the wings aren’t overlapping to allow even cooking. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. Check for crispiness and ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for perfectly cooked wings.

Step 4:
While the wings are baking, prepare the Alfredo sauce. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and slightly golden. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.

Step 5:
Once the garlic is fragrant, stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Allow it to simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently. As the cream warms, it will begin to thicken slightly.

Step 6:
Gradually add in the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese while stirring continuously. Continue to cook until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency, which should take about 5-6 minutes. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it with a splash of milk or additional cream.

Step 7:
Remove the wings from the oven once they’re crispy and golden brown. Place the wings into a large bowl and pour the Alfredo sauce over them. Toss the wings gently to ensure each piece is evenly coated with the rich, creamy sauce.

Notes

Cooking Notes:

  • Creamy sauce consistency: If your Alfredo sauce thickens too much during cooking, you can add a small amount of milk or extra cream to loosen it up. Stir well to achieve a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Crispier wings: For an extra crispy finish on the wings, consider broiling them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking. This step gives them an additional golden crust.
  • Make it spicy: If you like a little heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or drizzle with hot sauce before tossing the wings in the Alfredo sauce.
