Chicken Wings

Method

Chicken Wings Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, mix the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and olive oil until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Wings

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buffalo Sauce

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce and unsalted butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.

  5. 5

    Toss the Wings

    Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.

Blue Cheese Dressing Preparation

  1. 6

    Mix the Dressing Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork to mash the blue cheese slightly and mix until well combined.

  2. 7

    Chill the Dressing

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Serving

  1. 8

    Serve the Wings

    Serve the buffalo wings hot with the blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
