For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
- Arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
2. Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
- While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the Dijon mustard and lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Coat the Wings:
- Once the wings are crispy and fully cooked, transfer them to a large bowl.
- Pour the garlic parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.
4. Serve:
- Transfer the coated wings to a serving platter.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with any extra sauce on the side.
