These Alfredo chicken wings are proof that sometimes its a good idea to step outside of your wing comfort zone and try something you’d never thought you’d try. Sure, I’m a big fan of chicken Alfredo. It’s on my menu rotation often around here. But for some reason I’d never thought of saucing wings in that wonderfully creamy rich sauce. Well, let me tell you folks! These are great wings! Totally different. Totally great! And boy, talk about a ‘wow’ factor!
You can cook the wings any way you want. Oven. Deep fryer. Air fryer. It doesn’t really matter. Just get them in that delicious, creamy, rich cheesy sauce and get to eating! (And smiling!)
Homemade. Or From A Bottle.
I’ve included the ingredients and steps to make a quick and easy Alfredo sauce from scratch. And it’s great stuff on these Alfredo chicken wings. But you don’t have to make your own if you don’t want to. Just grab a bottle of your favorite sauce from the store and warm it up. Boom. Instant creamy wing sauce. Who knew?
PS: It’s ok to also embellish that store-bought stuff if you’re using it. I like to add a bit more Parmesan cheese. Or some grated Romano. And I always feel like that bottled Alfredo sauce could use a little freshly ground pepper. It’s ok on the salt, but I like a little pepper in it.
Just A Tad, Thanks
Now, I like a good bit of sauce on my chicken Alfredo. As in I drown it. But on my wings, I went a bit lighter. I still wanted to taste that delicious wing. Next time, I might serve a little extra warmed sauce on the side, for dipping. Heck, ‘might’ nothing. I will.
