Method

For the Buffalo Wings

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Season the Wings

    In a large bowl, mix the chicken wings with vegetable oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Wings

    Place the seasoned wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.

  4. 4

    Make the Buffalo Sauce

    While the wings are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, add the hot sauce and garlic powder. Stir until well combined.

  5. 5

    Toss the Wings

    Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and place them in a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

For the Blue Cheese Dressing

  1. 6

    Prepare the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 7

    Mix Until Smooth

    Using a fork, mash the blue cheese into the other ingredients until well combined but still slightly chunky. Adjust seasoning to taste.

  3. 8

    Chill the Dressing

    Cover the dressing and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
