Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Season the Chicken

    In a large bowl, season the chicken wings with salt to taste. Ensure they are evenly coated.

  2. 2

    Bake the Chicken

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

Making the Sauce

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the buffalo sauce, bourbon, honey, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

  2. 4

    Simmer the Sauce

    Heat the saucepan over medium heat. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened.

Preparing the Blue Cheese Dressing

  1. 5

    Mix the Dressing

    In a bowl, combine the St. Pete's bleu cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and garlic powder. Mash the bleu cheese with a fork until well combined and slightly chunky.

  2. 6

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more lemon juice or garlic powder to your liking.

Combining and Serving

  1. 7

    Toss Chicken in Sauce

    Once the chicken wings are baked, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the bourbon buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are well coated.

  2. 8

    Serve

    Serve the bourbon buffalo wings hot with a side of blue cheese dressing for dipping.
