Alfredo Chicken Wings

### **How to Make Alfredo Chicken Wings**

#### **Step 1: Prepare and Bake the Wings**
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack.
2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are golden brown and crispy.

*Tip*: For even crispier wings, you can broil them for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.

#### **Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce**
1. While the wings are baking, prepare the Alfredo sauce. In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Lower the heat and gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and the sauce thickens.
4. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

#### **Step 3: Coat the Wings**
1. Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm Alfredo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat.
2. Arrange the coated wings on a serving platter and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

### **Tips for Perfect Alfredo Chicken Wings**

– **Crispiness is Key**: Baking the wings on a wire rack ensures they stay crispy, even after being coated in sauce.
– **Make it Spicy**: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce or sprinkle cayenne pepper on the wings for a spicy kick.
– **Try Air Frying**: For an even quicker option, cook the wings in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
– **Sauce Alternative**: Prefer a lighter coating? Serve the Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping instead of tossing the wings.
