Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • Fresh whole chicken wings with skin on (2 pounds)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Italian herbs, such as oregano or parsley (optional, 1 teaspoon)

Alfredo Sauce

  • Butter (4 tablespoons)
  • Garlic cloves, freshly minced (3 cloves)
  • Heavy cream (1 cup)
  • Parmesan cheese, freshly grated (3/4 cup)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Italian herbs (optional, 1/2 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare and Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly using paper towels to ensure extra crispiness. Lightly coat the wings with olive oil, then season evenly with salt, pepper, and optional Italian herbs.
  2. Cook the Wings Until Crispy: Bake the wings at 425°F (220°C) for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even crisping. Alternatively, deep-fry the wings in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. Ensure the wings are cooked through with a crispy exterior.
  3. Make the Alfredo Sauce: In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the freshly minced garlic and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Slowly stir in the heavy cream and reduce the heat to low, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Whisk in the freshly grated parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes silky and smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and optional Italian herbs to taste.
  4. Toss Wings in Sauce: Transfer the cooked wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings and gently toss until every wing is fully coated in the creamy, cheesy sauce, taking care not to break the crispy skin.
  5. Serve Immediately: Serve the wings right away for the best texture and flavor, with the wings remaining crispy and the sauce warm and luscious.

Notes

  • Dry wings thoroughly before cooking to achieve maximum crispiness.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for superior flavor and smooth sauce texture.
  • Heat the Alfredo sauce gently to prevent it from breaking or curdling.
  • Adjust the amount of cream or cooking time to customize sauce thickness.
  • Use tongs when tossing wings in sauce to maintain the crispy skin intact.
