👩‍🍳 How to Make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken Wings

Step 1: Prep & Cook the Wings

You can bake, air-fry, or deep-fry your wings depending on preference. Here’s a baked version:

1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. Pat wings dry with paper towels (crispy wings start here!).

3. Toss wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.

4. Spread evenly on a baking sheet with a wire rack.

5. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.

Air Fryer Method: Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 22–25 minutes, shaking halfway.

Step 2: Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

2. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

3. Add grated Parmesan and cream cheese (if using), stirring until smooth and creamy.

4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer until thickened slightly.

Step 3: Toss & Serve

Place hot, crispy wings in a large bowl. Pour the garlic Parmesan sauce over the wings and toss until evenly coated.

Garnish with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve immediately.

🔁 Make It Your Own

• Add a kick: Stir in a dash of red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

• Herb it up: Add fresh thyme, basil, or Italian seasoning to the sauce.

• Make it tangy: A splash of lemon juice adds brightness and balance.

🧊 Storing & Reheating

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

• Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness — microwave will soften the skin.
