    This sauce is tangy and savory with the perfect kick of heat! It’s excellent for dipping, basting and coating so many foods!

    I love a bottled sauce that is ready for serving, but a good ready-made parmesan garlic sauce is one I’ve yet to find. I’ve bought more bottled brands than I care to count and they all lend a sharp, undesirable flavor that I cannot get past. I made it my mission to make one at home, and I finally succeeded!

    This sauce not only pairs perfectly with wings, but it’s also excellent to toss with fried chicken fingers, drumsticks and fried seafood. It’s great as a dip for roasted vegetables and tossing potato wedges in before roasting in the oven. Bonus, this sauce can easily transform into an incredible salad dressing! To the recipe below, simply add 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon water.

    What You’ll Need

    • Mayonnaise
    • Olive Oil
    • Apple Cider Vinegar
    • Lemon Juice
    • Fresh Garlic
    • Parmesan Cheese
    • Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
    • Dried Basil
    • Dried Oregano

    Tools You’ll Need

    • Measuring Cup
    • Whisk
    • Mixing Bowl

    How to Make This Recipe

    • There’s just 1 simple step to this sauce, mix all of the ingredients with a whisk until smooth and well combined. Taste and adjust ingredients as desired. Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

    Tips and Substitutions

    • The flavors in this sauce are delicious the day it’s made but tastes even better if made 24 hours in advance.
    • This sauce will last up to 1 week in the refrigerator.
    • Since wings are the most requested food with this sauce, here are the methods we use for wing making. For each method below, you’ll want to dry the wings well, sprinkle with baking powder and your favorite wing seasoning and allow them to rest in the fridge for at least an hour before cooking. This will help them develop a crispy crust. The minimum safe internal temperature for wings is 165°F, but we prefer between 170-175°F. Toss wings in your desired sauces once complete.
      • Air Fry: Spray the air fryer basket first with olive oil. Air fry the seasoned wings in a preheated air fryer at 380°F for 15 minutes. Turn the wings, spritz with olive oil, and air fry an additional 10-15 minutes.
      • Baked: Place the seasoned wings on an olive oil brushed wire rack. Spritz the tops of the wings with olive oil and bake at 400°F for 35-40 minutes, turning halfway through.
      • Fried: Heat a high smoke point oil (e.g. vegetable or canola) to 350-375°F. You’ll want enough oil in the deep fryer or pan for the wings to be completely submerged. The oil temperature drops when the wings are added, so work in smaller batches as needed. For example, my deep fryer cooks about 10 wings at a time. Fry the seasoned wings 8-10 minutes. You can hold the cooked wings in a 200°F oven if working in small batches.
      • Grilled or Rotisserie: Preheat the grill to 375°F. Add the seasoned chicken wings to a grill grate or rotisserie basket and grill 15-20 minutes. Increase the temperature to 425°F and cook an additional 5-10 minutes or until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature is above 165°F.
