A delicious and creamy Parmesan garlic sauce perfect for coating chicken wings or tenders.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the garlic.
Place the garlic cloves in an oven-safe dish and drizzle with olive oil.
Coating the garlic with oil prevents it from drying out during roasting.
Bake the garlic in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until soft and golden brown.
Check the garlic occasionally to avoid over-roasting.
Once roasted, let the garlic cool slightly, then mash it into a paste using a garlic press or a fork.
Mashing the garlic releases its full flavor into the sauce.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed garlic with mayonnaise, honey, Parmesan cheese, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, red pepper flakes, basil, oregano, thyme, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the sauce for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
Chilling enhances the flavor by allowing the ingredients to blend.
Use the sauce to coat cooked chicken wings, tenders, or nuggets. Toss gently to ensure even coating.
Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.
