Description
Make a rich, buttery, and savory garlic parmesan wing sauce at home that perfectly mimics popular restaurant versions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (aged is best)
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, black pepper, and salt until the mixture is smooth.
- Stir in the fresh lemon juice.
- Toss immediately with hot, cooked chicken wings until fully coated.
Notes
- For a thinner sauce, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of reserved wing cooking liquid or water to the mixture.
- If you prefer a slightly creamier texture, substitute 1/4 cup of the butter with 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, whisking it in off the heat.
- Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop.
