Make a restaurant-style Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce at home that perfectly replicates the rich, savory flavor of popular versions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced fresh garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat.
  4. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt until well combined.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
