When I was in college, my friends and I would go to Buffalo Wild Wings every Thursday for fifty-cent wing night. We were poor college kids but on Thursdays we could eat like kings and queens. When you’re able to get wings that frequently it only made sense to try as many sauces as possible, after all, Buffalo Wild Wings is known for its sauce and dry rub options and they live up to it!
From sweet to spicy and everything in between, it was then that I learned that chicken wings were much more than just barbecue or buffalo. My favorite wing sauce at Buffalo Wild Wings was the Parmesan garlic sauce, it was different from anything I had ever had on a chicken wing before. I started ordering Parmesan garlic wings every Thursday and would eat every one of them, I remember even then knowing I needed to find a recipe so I could make the sauce at home, so you could imagine my excitement the day that I did.
What makes this sauce so special? Well, it’s the unique flavor, something you would never expect but will certainly fall in love with. It has a slightly salty taste, notably creamy, and the garlic comes in more on the back end. A little heat but mostly rich Parmesan flavors take the driver’s seat.
Is Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce Healthy?
If I have said it once I have said it a million times that the healthiness of a recipe all depends on personal dietary needs. I can say that this homemade version is healthier than the restaurant variation as it does not contain all the preservatives you find in nationally distributed sauces.
You will also want to make sure you eat your Parmesan garlic sauce in moderation as ingredients like mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and butter are all high in fat content and should not be consumed too often.
How do I coat my chicken wings in my Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan Garlic Sauce?
I’m sure if you’ve never tossed chicken wings before this might be a scary concept. Perfectly covering all your wings entirely in your Buffalo Wild Wings Parmesan garlic wing sauce seems difficult but it doesn’t have to be. The best way to coat your chicken wings is to put your cooked wings into a medium-sized bowl, something larger than your wing portion but not too large to handle. Once your wings are in your bowl you will pour your homemade Parmesan garlic sauce over them, then shake your bowl and toss the wings ever so slightly until the wings are fully coated.
If this seems like it might be too difficult a method you can also get your hands dirty, once you’ve poured your sauce over the wings, simply work the sauce through all the wings to coat them.
