Equipment

Sharp knife
Mixing bowl
Piping bag or small spoon
Baking sheet
Parchment paper

Ingredients

2 lbs chicken wings, whole
8 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup cooked bacon, chopped
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Start by separating the chicken wings into drumettes and flats. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a slit in the larger end of each wing to create a pocket for the filling. Be cautious not to cut through the other side.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated and creamy.
Using a small spoon or a piping bag, fill each chicken wing pocket generously with the cream cheese mixture. Ensure the filling is compact and evenly distributed.
Place the stuffed wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the wings and season with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the wings are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure they crisp evenly.
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy these delicious stuffed wings while they’re hot!

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like chives or dill to the cream cheese filling. Ensure the wings are completely thawed if using frozen chicken wings for even cooking. Serve with a low-carb dipping sauce, such as ranch or blue cheese, for an added touch.
