Buffalo Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dip

Crispy oven baked chicken wings tossed in spicy buffalo sauce with a delicious blue cheese dip. Perfect for game day, a casual dinner or a delicious snack.

Ingredients

For the chicken

  • 1.5 kgs chicken nibbles (I prefer the ones that are cut into wings and drums)
  • 1 tablespoon of baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

For the sauce

  • ½ cup buffalo hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Blue Cheese Dip

  • 2/3 cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped flatleaf parsley optional
  • 100 grams blue cheese crumbled
  • Juice of ½ lemon around 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200 degrees fan bake
  2. Line an oven tray with baking paper or foil and cover with a baking rack.
  3. In a large bowl, add the chicken wings and pat dry with a paper towel.
  4. Add baking powder, salt, garlic and onion powders.
  5. Toss to coat the chicken.
  6. Place the wings on the rack in a single layer. Do not crowd or they will not go crispy.
  7. Cook in the oven until golden brown and crispy, around 45 minutes.
  8. While the chicken is cooking, make the blue cheese dip by mixing all ingredients together. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt if needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  9. When the chicken is nearly done, make the buffalo sauce by mixing the hot sauce, butter and honey together.
  10. Combine the crispy chicken wings with the buffalo sauce and toss to coat.
  11. Serve with blue cheese dip, and cucumber sticks.
