Here’s a flavorful and straightforward recipe for Alfredo Chicken Wings that will impress your family and friends. These wings are coated in a creamy Alfredo sauce, making them a decadent twist on the classic chicken wing.
Ingredients:
For the Chicken Wings:
- 2 pounds chicken wings (about 24 wings)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Alfredo Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper until they are well-coated.
- Spread the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
- 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 to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
- Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Add the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to taste. Keep the sauce warm on low heat while you wait for the wings to finish baking.
- Coat the Wings:
- Once the chicken wings are done baking, remove them from the oven. Transfer the wings to a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings. Gently toss the wings in the sauce until they are thoroughly coated.
- Serve:
- Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter. If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.
- Serve the Alfredo chicken wings hot. They pair wonderfully with a side of celery sticks and a light salad, or just on their own as a rich and indulgent treat.
Tips:
- For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce for a bit of heat.
- If you prefer a crispy wing, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after tossing them in the Alfredo sauce. Just be sure to watch them closely to avoid burning.
This recipe takes classic chicken wings to a whole new level with the creamy richness of Alfredo sauce. It’s a perfect choice for a game day snack, a party appetizer, or a special treat any time you’re craving something indulgent. Enjoy your delicious Alfredo Chicken Wings!
