Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs Chicken wings
- 2 tbsp Black pepper
- 1.5 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tbsp Butter
- 0.5 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley
- 1 tbsp Fresh chives
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Milk
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Preheat a deep pan with vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels, then cut them into drumettes and flats if necessary.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the black pepper, salt, garlic powder, paprika, and olive oil. Toss the chicken wings in the seasoning mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
In a shallow dish, spread the all-purpose flour. Lightly dredge each chicken wing in the flour and shake off any excess.
Fry the wings in batches for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Drain them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate.
While the wings are frying, prepare the herbed blue cheese dip. In a medium bowl, combine blue cheese crumbles, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, chives, lemon juice, and milk. Stir until smooth and well-mixed. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Melt the butter in a small pan. Drizzle the melted butter over the fried wings and toss to coat.
Serve the hot black pepper chicken wings with the herbed blue cheese dip on the side. Garnish with extra parsley if desired.
