Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken wings, tips removed and split at the joint
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder (not baking soda)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons hot sauce (Frank’s RedHot recommended)
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup mayonnaise (full-fat preferred)
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese (e.g., Maytag or Roquefort)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss wings with baking powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange wings in a single layer on the wire rack, making sure they are not touching.
  4. Bake wings for 25 minutes. Flip each wing over and bake for another 15-20 minutes until golden-brown and crispy.
  5. While wings bake, combine honey, hot sauce, apple cider vinegar, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl. Warm gently for about 2 minutes and stir well.
  6. Transfer baked wings to a large bowl and toss with the hot honey glaze until evenly coated.
  7. In a medium bowl, mix sour cream, mayonnaise, crumbled blue cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and pepper until creamy but still chunky. Chill until ready to serve.
  8. Serve the hot honey glazed wings immediately with the blue cheese dip, garnished with chopped chives or parsley if desired.

Notes

Pat wings dry thoroughly before coating with baking powder to ensure crispiness. Use a wire rack to allow air circulation and prevent soggy skin. Warm the glaze just enough to loosen it for even coating. For extra crispiness, broil wings for 2-3 minutes after glazing, watching carefully to avoid burning. Let wings rest 5 minutes after baking before glazing. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven at 375°F for 10-12 minutes to maintain crispiness. Blue cheese dip keeps up to 5 days refrigerated.
