Instructions:

STEP 1: PREPARE AND SEASON THE CHICKEN WINGS

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or prepare a deep fryer if you prefer frying.
2. Pat the chicken wings dry with a paper towel to help them crisp up.
3. In a large bowl, toss the wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until well-coated.

STEP 2: COOK THE CHICKEN WINGS

1. Oven Method: Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until they’re golden brown and crispy.
2. Fryer Method: Fry the wings in batches at 350°F (175°C) for about 8-10 minutes or until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

STEP 3: PREPARE THE GARLIC PARMESAN SAUCE

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
2. Add the heavy cream, stirring occasionally, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes until it begins to thicken.
3. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then cook until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

STEP 4: COAT THE WINGS IN SAUCE

1. Add the cooked chicken wings to the skillet, tossing them to coat thoroughly in the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.
2. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.

STEP 5: GARNISH AND SERVE

1. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of additional Parmesan if desired.
2. Serve hot, with extra sauce on the side for dipping!

Tips for the Best Creamy Garlic Parmesan Wings

• Choose fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and gives a richer flavor to the sauce.
• Use a wire rack for baking: A wire rack allows air to circulate around the wings, helping them get crispy in the oven.
• Adjust the sauce thickness: For a thicker sauce, simmer longer; for a thinner sauce, add a splash of milk or chicken broth.
• For extra flavor: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce for a slight kick.
