Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds Chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Hot sauce
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 cup Blue cheese crumbles
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for optimal cooking.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through, flipping them halfway through cooking for even crispiness.
While the wings bake, prepare the blue cheese glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the hot sauce and honey. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Using a small mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese crumbles, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Mash the mixture together gently with a fork, leaving some blue cheese chunks intact for texture. Set aside as the dipping sauce.
Once the wings are done cooking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm blue cheese glaze over the wings and toss well to coat evenly.
Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and flavor.
Serve the wings hot with the blue cheese dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your Blue Monday Wings!
