Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 2 pounds (907 grams) chicken wings
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Dairy:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) butter
- 1 pint (473 milliliters) heavy cream
Seasonings:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C), ensuring the rack is positioned in the center for even cooking.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then add finely chopped garlic. Sauté until the garlic becomes aromatic and slightly golden, releasing its rich flavor.
- Gradually pour heavy cream into the garlic butter mixture, stirring continuously. Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce smooths out and thickens, creating a velvety consistency.
- Arrange chicken wings on a lined baking sheet, generously seasoning both sides with salt and pepper. Spread the wings in a single layer to promote crispy exterior.
- Roast the wings for 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through cooking. Ensure wings are golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- Remove wings from the oven and immediately transfer to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings, gently tossing to ensure complete and even coating.
- Transfer the sauced wings to a serving platter, garnishing with fresh chopped parsley or additional grated Parmesan for extra flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while wings are hot and sauce is creamy, perfect for enjoying as a decadent appetizer or main dish.
Notes
- Customize the spice level by adding red pepper flakes or cayenne to the Alfredo sauce for a kicked-up version that brings extra heat.
- Choose bone-in chicken wings for maximum flavor and juiciness, ensuring crispy skin and tender meat underneath.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged for a richer, more authentic sauce texture and deeper taste profile.
- Consider using a wire rack when baking wings to help air circulate and achieve maximum crispiness without excess oil pooling.
