- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 6 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup water or chicken broth (optional, for thinning)
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the minced fresh garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
- If the sauce is too thick for coating wings, whisk in water or broth one tablespoon at a time until you reach your desired consistency.
- Toss immediately with hot, cooked chicken wings or use as a dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use finely grated Parmesan cheese for the best melt and texture in the sauce.
- For a creamier sauce, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of the butter with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise or cream cheese, added off the heat.
- Apply this sauce to wings immediately after cooking while they are still hot for maximum coating.
