Ingredients
For the Wings:
- 2 lbs chicken wings, split into drumettes and flats
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
For the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prep the Wings:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl.
- Bake the Wings:
- Arrange the wings on the wire rack in a single layer.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden and crispy.
- Make the Creamy Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and black pepper until the sauce thickens.
- Toss the Wings:
- Remove the wings from the oven and transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the creamy garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until fully coated.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately while warm and creamy.
Tips:
- For extra crispy wings, broil them for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a slight kick.
- Serve with celery sticks and ranch or blue cheese dressing for dipping.
