Creamy Alfredo Chicken Wings Recipe

Ingredients

For the Chicken Wings:

  • 2 lbs (about 1 kg) chicken wings, split at joints, tips removed
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika (optional, for smoky flavor)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder

For the Alfredo Sauce:

  • 4 tbsp butter (unsalted)
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (fresh is best)
  • ½ cup mozzarella cheese (for extra creaminess)
  • ½ tsp salt (adjust as needed)
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning or dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley (fresh, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Prep and Bake the Wings

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels (this makes them crispier).
  3. In a large bowl, toss wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange wings on the rack in a single layer.
  5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

(Optional: Air fryer version – cook at 375°F / 190°C for 22–25 minutes, flipping halfway.)

Step 2: Make the Alfredo Sauce

  1. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30–40 seconds until fragrant (don’t burn).
  3. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Let it simmer for 3–4 minutes.
  4. Stir in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth.
  5. Season with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  6. Keep sauce on low heat until wings are ready.

Step 3: Combine Wings and Sauce

  1. Once wings are cooked and crispy, transfer them into the skillet with Alfredo sauce.
  2. Toss wings gently until fully coated in the creamy sauce.
  3. Garnish with chopped parsley and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve hot with garlic bread, pasta, or a side of roasted veggies.
  • Great as a game day appetizer, party food, or a comforting dinner.
  • For extra flavor, drizzle a little Alfredo sauce over the wings when serving.
