    What is Garlic Parmesan Sauce 

    Garlic parmesan sauce is a popular sauce often used for dipping chicken wings. It is rich, creamy, flavor, and has a savory taste. The creaminess of this dipping sauce complements the chicken wings' hot and often spicy flavor. It is often used as a pasta sauce, pizza topping, or vegetable dip.

    Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce 

    Buffalo Wild Wings is an American restaurant chain with locations around the world. Founded in Ohio in 1982, it now has 1279 locations in the US alone. Their specialty is buffalo-style chicken wings and sauces, though they have chicken tenders and other complementary items. 

    Garlic parmesan dipping sauce is one of dozens of sauces available to order as an accompaniment to the wings, chicken tenders, and other chicken items on the Buffalo Wild Wings menu.

    This copycat recipe is made with garlic, parmesan, mayonnaise, and spices. It is  smooth, creamy and not too runny, so it can be easily dipped with chicken wings and other finger foods. The sauce is so versatile it can also be used for marinade, topping, or spread. 

    The garlic, chili flakes, and spices add a subtle, slightly spicy taste profile, while the parmesan cheese adds a salty, cheesy tang that will tickle your taste buds.  

    Ingredients Needed

    Butter: salted or unsalted both work well to add a velvety texture to the sauce. If using salted butter, adjust the amount of salt you add at the end.

    Garlic: minced, fresh garlic will add the best taste.

    Heavy cream: heavy cream adds richness to this sauce. 

    Parmesan cheese: freshly grated parmesan cheese is ideal for adding cheesy goodness and has the best flavor, so don't compromise. The dip isn't called garlic parmesan for no reason!

    Red chili flakes: chili flakes add a touch of spice. Use more or less depending on your spice preference. 

    Italian seasoning: use Italian seasoning or a combination of dried oregano, basil, and thyme to infuse the sauce with a delicious aroma.

    Black pepper: freshy crushed pepper provides the best flavor.

    Salt: add salt to taste.

    Mayonnaise:  use full-fat mayonnaise for the best flavor and mouthfeel. Any mayonnaise will work, whether it is traditional or made with olive oil. My favorite is Hellmann's real mayonnaise. You can use your preferred brand. 

    Instructions Step By Step

    Here's how to make parmesan garlic sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings.

    • Gather all the ingredients before you begin cooking to ensure everything is on hand.
    • Heat and melt butter while sautéing minced garlic in a pan.

    Make ahead and Storage 

    You can easily make this parmesan sauce recipe a few days in advance as it will keep in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Store in an airtight container or mason jar. 

    FAQs 

    Is it spicy?

    This copycat parmesan garlic sauce is not too spicy, though it does contain chili flakes. If you want it to be spicier, you can sprinkle in more red chili flakes or add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce.

    Is it gluten-free?

    This garlic parmesan sauce is gluten-free, but please double-check the ingredients before buying for any potential gluten sources. 

    Where can I buy buffalo wild wings garlic parmesan sauce?

    Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan sauce is available at buffalo wild wings restaurants, the buffalo wild wings website. Some big grocery stores like Walmart or Target also carry this dipping sauce. You can even get this from online retailers like Amazon.

    Can I freeze this sauce?

    I don't recommend freezing as the ingredients used in the sauce, such as cream, parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise may separate when thawed.

    Can I skip the heavy cream? 

    Yes, you can skip the heavy cream in this garlic parmesan sauce. The end result may not be as thick but it will still be flavorful.

    Substitutions and Variations 

    • Cheese substitution: Change the cheese and use Asiago or Grana Padano instead of the parmesan.
    • Garlic parmesan buffalo sauce: Add buffalo seasoning, garlic, onion, paprika, and cayenne to make a garlic parmesan buffalo sauce. Best for those who prefer a spicier variant.
    • Roasted garlic parmesan sauce: Roast the garlic in the oven beforehand and make a roasted garlic parmesan sauce. This is an excellent choice for those who prefer a milder garlic taste.

    Tips 

    • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Jarred garlic and shelf-stable parmesan will make preparing this sauce easier, but you will be compromising on the taste. 
    • Heavy cream gives this dipping sauce the right amount of thickness and creaminess. Don't substitute for half and half. 
    • For more of a kick, stir in some sriracha or Tabasco sauce.

    Buffalo Wild Wings Garlic Parmesan Sauce Uses
