How to Make Alfredo Chicken Wings
Step 1: Prepare and Bake the Wings
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.
Tip: For even crispier wings, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce
- While the wings are baking, prepare the Alfredo sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce thickens.
- Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3: Coat the Wings
- Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat.
- Arrange the coated wings on a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Serving Suggestions
Alfredo chicken wings are rich and flavorful, so they pair well with light and refreshing sides. Consider serving them with:
- Celery and Carrot Sticks: A classic side for wings that adds crunch and balances the richness.
- Ranch or Blue Cheese Dip: A creamy dip complements the Alfredo flavor beautifully.
- Garlic Bread: Mop up any leftover Alfredo sauce with warm, buttery garlic bread.
- Simple Salad: A crisp, green salad with a tangy vinaigrette provides a refreshing contrast.
Tips for Perfect Alfredo Chicken Wings
- Crispiness is Key: Baking the wings on a wire rack ensures they stay crispy, even after being coated in sauce.
- Make it Spicy: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce or sprinkle cayenne pepper on the wings for a spicy kick.
- Try Air Frying: For an even quicker option, cook the wings in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Sauce Alternative: Prefer a lighter coating? Serve the Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping instead of tossing the wings.
