    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
    • 1 tsp lemon juice
    • Salt and pepper, to taste

    INSTRUCTIONS:

    1. Prepare the Chicken Wings:
      • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
      • In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
      • Place the wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack.
      • Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
      1. Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
      • While the wings are baking, prepare the sauce.
      • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
      • Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
      • Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
      • Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens.
      • Stir in the Dijon mustard and lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
      1. Coat the Wings:

      For variations and tips on your chicken wings, here are some ideas:

      • Flavor Variations: Try adding different spices to the seasoning mix, like cumin or chili powder, for a different flavor profile.
      • Sauce Alternatives: Instead of the garlic Parmesan sauce, you could try a buffalo sauce, teriyaki glaze, or a honey mustard sauce for a sweet twist.
      • Baking Technique: For extra crispiness, consider using a wire rack on your baking sheet to allow air to circulate around the wings while they bake.
      • Garnishes: Besides parsley, you can use green onions or even crumbled feta cheese for a different touch.
      • Meal Pairing: Serve the wings with a side of coleslaw or a fresh salad to balance the richness of the wings.

      To store your chicken wings, follow these tips:

      1. Refrigeration: Allow the wings to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
      2. Freezing: If you want to keep them longer, you can freeze the wings. Place them in a freezer-safe bag or container, and they can last for up to 2 months. Just remember to label the container with the date!
      3. Reheating: When you’re ready to eat them again, reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes or until heated through. This will help keep them crispy.

      These storage methods will help maintain the flavor and texture of your wings!

    Cut the tomato into slices and shape. Now mix the crème légère, eggs, parmesan and spices well, season to taste and spread evenly over the vegetables.
