Keto Alfredo Chicken Wings combine the best of both worlds in these crispy wings & cheesy Alfredo sauce. These wings have a golden, delicious coating without the need for breading or carbs since we bake or air-fry them to perfection. We mix these wings in a buttery, rich sauce that contains garlic, cream, Parmesan, and a touch of Italian seasoning after cooking. They are high in protein and taste great in every bite, in addition to being simple to prepare. They make a filling and nutritious dinner. We serve these wings with roasted vegetables, zucchini noodles, or a fresh salad. Keto Alfredo Chicken Wings are a must-try for anyone who likes low-carb cuisine.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
CHICKEN WINGS:
- Chicken wings get crispy on the outside & are high in protein when baked or air-fried. They serve as the dish’s foundation and absorb the Alfredo sauce flawlessly. Use thawed or fresh wings for optimal results.
OLIVE OIL:
- Olive oil contributes healthful fats to the recipe and aids in the wings’ even browning. Additionally, it makes the seasonings adhere to the chicken. All you need for crispness is a thin layer.
BLACK PEPPER & SALT:
- Black pepper & salt enhance the chicken’s inherent flavor. They counterbalance the Alfredo sauce’s richness. Adapt to your own preferences.
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy cream makes the base of the sauce. It thickens beautifully as it simmers. It is necessary for a velvety, smooth feel.
BUTTER:
- The Alfredo sauce gains flavor and depth from the addition of butter. It combines with the cheese & cream to create that distinctive flavor. Always use unsalted butter to keep sodium levels under control.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- The nutty, salty flavor of Parmesan cheese organically thickens the sauce. It’s essential for a true Alfredo flavor.
GARLIC:
- Garlic enhances the dish’s flavor and scent. The taste of freshly minced garlic is strong & noticeable. It connects all of the delicious components.
GARLIC POWDER:
- Garlic powder enhances the wings’ flavor before frying. The fresh garlic in the sauce adds layers of flavor. This combo provides a well-balanced garlic character.
ITALIAN SEASONING:
- Herbal flavors from Italian seasoning enhance the creamy sauce. Typically, it contains thyme, basil, and oregano. A little goes a long way.
CREAM CHEESE:
- It makes rich Alfredo sauce. It lends a rich, velvety texture, although optional.
PARSLEY:
- The addition of parsley brightens the dish. It gives the creamy presentation more color and freshness. It looks better with a little sprinkling right before serving.
