Method

Buffalo Wings Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Wings

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a crispy texture.

  2. 2

    Season and Coat

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the flour mixture until evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Bake the Wings

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

  4. 4

    Prepare the Buffalo Sauce

    While the wings are baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the hot sauce until well combined.

  5. 5

    Toss the Wings in Sauce

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

Celery Preparation

  1. 6

    Prepare Celery Sticks

    While the wings are baking, wash and cut the celery stalks into 3-inch pieces. Set aside for serving.

Blue Cheese Dressing Preparation

  1. 7

    Make the Dressing

    In a mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork to mash the blue cheese and mix until smooth and creamy.

  2. 8

    Chill the Dressing

    Refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
