Alfredo Chicken Wings

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wings (drums and flats)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley (for garnish)

For the Alfredo Sauce:

• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and place a wire rack on top.

1. Prepare the Wings:

• Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps them crisp up better.
• In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

1. Bake the Wings:

• Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

1. Make the Alfredo Sauce:

• While the wings are baking, prepare the Alfredo sauce. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute).
• Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

1. Coat the Wings:

• Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the Alfredo sauce over the wings and gently toss until the wings are evenly coated with the creamy sauce.

1. Serve:

• Arrange the Alfredo chicken wings on a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.

Tips:

• Extra Crispy: For even crispier wings, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes after baking.
• Dipping Sauce: Serve with extra Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping, or pair with a fresh green salad to balance the richness.

These Alfredo Chicken Wings are the perfect blend of crispy wings and creamy Alfredo sauce, making for a decadent appetizer or main dish. Enjoy! 🍗🧄🧀
