Ingredients:

For the Chicken Wings:

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

For the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:

• 4 tbsp butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp lemon juice

For the Dipping Sauce:

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

Chicken Wings:

1. Preheat Oven/Grill: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set up your grill for indirect heat.
2. Season the Wings: Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss them with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
3. Cook the Wings:
   • For oven: Arrange the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
   • For grill: Place wings over indirect heat and grill for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until fully cooked.
4. Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wings are cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, black pepper, salt, and lemon juice. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often until the sauce thickens.
5. Coat the Wings: Once the wings are cooked, toss them in the garlic Parmesan sauce until they are well-coated.
6. Garnish: Sprinkle chopped parsley on top for added freshness and color.

Dipping Sauce:

1. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic, and fresh parsley.
2. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. Serve alongside the wings for dipping.
