Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
Step 2
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. This step is crucial for achieving crispy wings.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the baking powder, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the mixture until evenly coated.
Step 4
Arrange the wings on the wire rack, ensuring they do not touch each other. Bake for 40-50 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Step 5
While the wings bake, make the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the hot sauce and honey and whisk until smooth. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 6
Prepare the blue cheese dip. In a small mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese crumbles, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Step 7
Once the wings are done, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the wings and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 8
Serve the buffalo wings hot with a side of blue cheese dip, celery sticks, and carrot sticks for dipping. Enjoy!
