Description

This recipe delivers crispy, juicy chicken wings paired with a tangy, creamy blue cheese dip. Perfect for weeknight dinners, game day, or casual gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, separated into flats and drumettes
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon salt, plus extra for seasoning after baking
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or neutral oil
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (about 75g)
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g)
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise (60g)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and allow it to reach temperature for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove moisture.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir until evenly blended.
  4. Add the dried wings to the bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Toss until wings are evenly coated with the dry mix and oil.
  5. Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and arrange the wings in a single layer with space between each piece.
  6. Bake the wings for 20 minutes without opening the oven door frequently.
  7. Flip the wings using tongs and bake for another 20 minutes or until the skin is golden and crispy. Optionally, broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crunch, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. While wings bake, prepare the blue cheese dip by combining blue cheese, Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped chives in a small bowl. Stir gently to keep some chunks. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Once wings are done, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and serve immediately with the chilled blue cheese dip.

Notes

Dry wings thoroughly before coating to ensure crispiness. Use baking powder, not baking soda, to avoid off flavors. Space wings on the rack to allow air circulation. Flip halfway through baking. Broil briefly for extra crispiness but watch closely to prevent burning. Let wings rest a few minutes before serving to keep skin crisp. Blue cheese dip flavors improve if made 30 minutes ahead and chilled.
