Ingredients

For the Chicken Wings:

  • 2 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

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.
