🧂 Ingredients

For the Wings:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings, split and tips removed

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • ½ tsp paprika

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ¼ cup cream cheese (optional, for extra creaminess)

  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

🔥 Instructions

  1. Prep the Wings:

    • Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels (for crispiness).

    • Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

  2. Cook the Wings:

    • Oven Method: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange wings and bake 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until crispy.

    • Air Fryer Method: Cook wings at 380°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, shaking halfway through.

    • Fryer Method: Deep fry wings in hot oil (350°F / 175°C) for about 8–10 minutes until golden and crispy.

  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

    • In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.

    • Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds).

    • Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

    • Add Parmesan and cream cheese, whisking until smooth and creamy.

    • Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

  4. Combine & Serve:

    • Toss cooked wings in the warm Alfredo sauce until coated evenly.

    • Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan if desired.

📝 Notes

  • For a lighter version: Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.

  • Extra crispiness: After baking, broil wings for 2–3 minutes.

  • Add spice: Stir in crushed red pepper flakes or cayenne to the sauce.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.

💡 Tips

  • Dry wings thoroughly before cooking — moisture prevents crisping.

  • Don’t overheat Alfredo sauce; it can separate.

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.

  • Add a splash of pasta water or milk if the sauce thickens too much.
