Recipe ingredients

Chicken wings. Whole wings with bones are best. Can be frozen and thawed.

Spices. Salt, black pepper, garlic powder. Classic!

Butter. Base ingredient for the creamy Alfredo sauce.

Heavy cream. Key to a luscious sauce that holds well on the wings.

Garlic. Bright, pungent, and perfect for this Italian-inspired recipe.

Shredded parmesan cheese. The traditional choice for an authentic Alfredo sauce.

How to make alfredo chicken wings

To start with the recipe you will need couple pounds of chicken wings. If you have guests coming, count about ½ lb of wings per person.
If wings are frozen you will need to thaw them first. Pull them out of freezer and keep in the fridge overnight, they should be thawed by the morning.

Or simply leave them on the counter in a large bowl and they will defrost in couple hours. If you need them quick, submerge wings in the cold water and they will deforms faster.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lay the baking sheet with parchment paper for an easy clean up. Brush it with some olive or avocado oil and use an oil spray.

Cover wings with salt, pepper and garlic powder and place on the baking sheet. Bake for 40 minutes.

Meanwhile make Alfredo sauce. Heat butter in a medium size pot. Once melted add heavy cream and stir. Turn the heat down to low and add Parmesan cheese. Stir until cheese melts and create an even sauce.

Pro tip. Do not use already shredded store bought Parmesan cheese. It will not melt properly because of the anti caking agent they are using.

How to serve Alfredo chicken wings

There is three ways to serve Alfredo chicken wings.

1. When chicken wings are done, scoop them in to the bowl and cover with Alfredo sauce. Or just simply place wings right into the pot you made sauce in and stir to cover.
2. Serve them on a large plate and drizzle with Alfredo sauce and top with chopped green onions.
3. Serve wings as is in a bowl with Alfredo sauce on the side for dipping. Add sliced celery ribs and fresh juicy carrots.

Variations

• You can air fry chicken wings rather than oven bake for faster cook time.
• Use your preference of whole wings or party wings (smaller pieces).
• Classic Alfredo sauce is made with Parmesan cheese. However, other melty mild cheeses will also work! Try shredded Asiago or Romano, mozzarella, or Gruyere.
• This recipe calls for 2 lbs of chicken wings and makes approximately 2-4 servings. Easily double or triple the proportions to make as many as you need for your snacks and parties!

Frequently asked questions

Serving

Chicken can be served with so many side dishes, it basically taste great with everything. Turkish red cabbage salad will be great paired with mashed potatoes or a bowl of steamy white rice.

Grilled vegetables, steamed broccoli or asparagus, scalloped potatoes. Make a simple garden salad with cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers and arugula and spinach, drizzle with some olive oil and enjoy with the wings.

Storage

Leftovers. Alfredo chicken wings leftovers can stay fresh in the fridge for up to 6 days. Just place them in the air tight container or just tightly cover the bowl with a piece of foil.

Freezer. You can freeze cooked wings for up to 6 months. Use a freezer safe container or bag and make sure that all the wings are covered with sauce before freezing.

Reheat. I prefer to reheat chicken in the microwave. Wings are not crispy because of the sauce so there is really no reason to reheat them in the air fryer. Also all the sauce will just drip to the bottom of the basket.
