Creamy Alfredo Chicken Wings

Featured in: Center of the plate recipes

These Alfredo-style wings blend crunchy oven-baked chicken with a silky, cheesy sauce. We load the wings up with onion and garlic powders, bake them 'til they're nicely crisp, then roll them in a creamy mix packed with Parmesan. Dish them out hot with sprinkles of more cheese and some freshly chopped parsley. They're perfect to share, great for parties, and sure to hit the spot if you crave cozy and bold flavors!

You won't believe how these Alfredo chicken wings turn out. The classic pasta sauce becomes a velvety, cheesy blanket for crunchy, oven-baked wings. It’s a fun spin that’ll have folks going back for more, fast.

The first time I brought these to a football get-together, the plate emptied before the first quarter was over. Friends were so hooked on that creamy Alfredo flavor matched with crunchy chicken that they were asking how I did it before halftime.

Tasty Ingredients

  • Fresh parsley: brings freshness and a pop of color to the cheesy sauce
  • Butter: use unsalted so the flavor doesn’t get too salty
  • Parmesan cheese: shredding it yourself melts way better and tastes richer
  • Heavy cream: gives you that dreamy Alfredo creaminess
  • Garlic powder and onion powder: these add a punch of savory flavor all over
  • Chicken wings: fresh or thawed out completely if they were frozen, so they cook right

Yummy Step-by-Step Instructions

Master the Coating:
While your wings are still warm, toss 'em into a roomy bowl. Drizzle sauce along the bowl’s edges, then fold everything together gently so the wings keep their crunch but get plenty of sauce love.
Mix Up the Alfredo Sauce:
Melt your butter—take it slow so it doesn’t go brown. Fry the garlic just until it smells awesome, about a minute and a half. Stream in the cream a bit at a time, stirring the whole time to keep it silky. Sprinkle in Parmesan bit by bit, whisking after each handful so it turns creamy instead of clumpy.
Get Those Wings Crispy:
Put the wings in a single layer, leaving some space for the air to flow. This makes them as crunchy as can be. Flip them over halfway through baking, and you’ll get super even golden skin.
Get Wings Ready to Cook:
Pat the wings totally dry and then season them all over so every bite is tasty. Toss them with oil and the garlic/onion powders, making sure every piece is covered for big flavor and great texture.

Honestly, my favorite thing is watching everyone’s faces when they bite in for the first time. This combo feels new, but somehow like an old favorite. My nephew, who never eats anything but plain wings, gobbled five—coming from him, that means they’re amazing.

Handy Make-Ahead Options

You can always season the wings and stash them (raw) in the fridge for up to a day before baking, which lets all those flavors sink in. Go ahead and whip up the Alfredo sauce up to 48 hours ahead and keep it tightly covered. When it's go-time, gently heat it and thin it out with a little more cream if it’s thickened up.

Tasty Pairings

Acidic sides balance these creamy wings really well. Try handing out lemon wedges for squeezing over the wings right before eating. Grab a bowl of simple arugula with a lemony olive oil dressing—those peppery leaves pair perfectly. For drinks, pour a crisp Pinot Grigio or crack open a light beer so it doesn’t drown out the flavors.

Simple Troubleshooting Tips

If your sauce gets weird or looks chunky, just take it off the heat and stir in a cold spoonful of heavy cream until it smooths out. If the wings aren’t crunchy, you probably packed too many on the pan or maybe the oven wasn’t hot enough. For extra crunch, pop them under the broiler for a couple minutes, but keep an eye on them so they don’t burn.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ How can I get my wings super crispy?

Make sure the wings are good and dry before seasoning. Bake at 400°F so the skin gets that tasty crunch.

→ Will store-bought Alfredo sauce work?

Of course! Grabbing some from the store saves time, though making your own sauce brings out the freshest flavor.

→ What goes well alongside these Alfredo wings?

They're awesome with a crisp salad, oven-roasted veggies, or some garlic bread to soak up sauce.

→ Is it possible to prep these wings in advance?

They're tastiest straight out of the oven, but you can totally bake the wings and make the sauce earlier. Warm everything up and toss together when you're ready.

→ I don't have Parmesan—can I swap another cheese?

No worries! Pecorino Romano or Asiago both work great and have the same sharp bite.

Ingredients

→ Wings

01 1 tablespoon olive oil
02 1 teaspoon onion powder
03 1 teaspoon garlic powder
04 Black pepper, as much as you like
05 Salt, as much as you like
06 2 lbs chicken wings

→ Alfredo Sauce

07 Fresh chopped parsley for topping
08 Black pepper, sprinkle how you want
09 Salt, use as much as you like
10 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
11 1 cup heavy cream
12 3 garlic cloves, chopped up
13 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

Step 01

Get your oven warmed up to 400°F. Dry off the wings with some paper towels, toss them in a big bowl, and pour in the olive oil. Sprinkle on the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Then mix everything up with your hands so the wings get covered all over.

Step 02

Lay the wings out on a baking sheet you’ve lined with parchment. Pop them in the oven and let them cook for 35 to 40 minutes. Turn them over halfway, so both sides get super crispy and golden.

Step 03

Grab a saucepan and let the butter melt on medium heat. Drop in your chopped garlic and let it cook for a couple minutes till it really smells good. Pour in the heavy cream slowly while stirring nonstop. Next, add in the Parmesan bit by bit, stirring till everything’s smooth and thick. Finish it off with some salt and pepper.

Step 04

Move the cooked wings into a big clean bowl. Pour on all that creamy Alfredo sauce. Toss it so every piece gets covered.

Step 05

Sprinkle some chopped parsley on top and, if you want, a little more Parmesan. Dish them up while they're hot and dig in!
