Full Recipe:​

Ingredients:​

• 2.5 lbs chicken wings (about 20 wings)
• 2 tablespoons avocado oil (or any oil of your choice)
• ½ teaspoon salt (to taste)
• ½ teaspoon pepper (to taste)
• 1 head garlic
• ¼ teaspoon oil
• Pinch of salt and pepper (to taste)
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese (finely grated)
• 3 tablespoons sour cream
• Parsley for garnish

Directions:​

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Cut off the top of a whole head of garlic to expose the cloves. Drizzle with a little oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Wrap the garlic in foil (or parchment paper) and bake for 35-40 minutes until the garlic is caramelized and soft.
3. Once cool, squeeze the garlic out of its shell into a bowl and mash or stir it. Set aside.
4. In a large bowl, season the chicken wings with salt, pepper, and oil. Massage the seasoning into the wings with clean hands.
5. Air-fry the wings at 380°F (190°C) for 25 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking. If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the wings at 425°F (220°C) for about 45 minutes on a baking sheet, flipping halfway.
6. Five minutes before the wings are done, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the grated Parmesan and the roasted garlic.
7. Stir in the sour cream until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth, then remove it from heat.
8. Pour the creamy garlic Parmesan sauce over the hot wings, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
