Ingredients
– 2 pounds (1kg) chicken wings
– 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter
– 1 cup (250ml) heavy cream
– 1/2 cup (120g) grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour (for coating)
– Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Prep the wings: Rinse the chicken wings and pat dry with paper towels.
2. Make the Alfredo sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Season with basil, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the wings: In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture to coat.
4. Fry the wings: Heat about 1/2-inch (1cm) of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the coated chicken wings in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.
5. Toss in Alfredo sauce: In a large bowl, toss the fried chicken wings in the Alfredo sauce until well coated.
6. Serve: Serve the Alfredo chicken wings hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. Enjoy with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for a classic combo.
