Wings

Method

Wings Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. In a large bowl, combine the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, and baking powder, tossing to coat evenly.

  2. 2

    Bake the Wings

    Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, add the hot sauce and stir until well combined. Remove from heat.

  4. 4

    Toss the Wings in Sauce

    Once the wings are baked, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss gently to coat them evenly.

Blue Cheese Dressing Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork to mash the blue cheese into the mixture and stir until well combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning to taste.
