Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 2 tablespoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup blue cheese crumbles
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.25 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt (for dip)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with baking powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack and bake for 20 minutes.
Flip the wings over, then increase the oven temperature to 425°F (220°C) and bake for an additional 25 minutes or until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by melting the butter in a small saucepan over low heat.
Stir in the hot sauce and garlic powder. Remove from heat and set aside.
To make the blue cheese dip, combine blue cheese crumbles, sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Mix thoroughly until creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once the wings are cooked, transfer them to a large bowl and toss with the prepared buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
Serve the buffalo wings hot with the blue cheese dip on the side. Enjoy!
