Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps achieve crispy skin during baking.
- Arrange the chicken wings in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow even cooking and crispy texture.
- Bake the wings for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through cooking time to ensure even browning on both sides.
- While wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by whisking together hot sauce and melted butter in a small bowl until well combined.
- For the gorgonzola sauce, mix crumbled gorgonzola cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice in another bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Once wings are cooked through and crispy, remove from oven and immediately toss in the prepared buffalo sauce, coating evenly.
- Transfer sauced wings to a serving platter and drizzle or serve the gorgonzola sauce on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with additional crumbled gorgonzola cheese and chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Tips
- • Pat the chicken wings completely dry before baking - this is the secret to achieving that coveted crispy skin! • Use a wire rack on your baking sheet for even more crispiness, allowing hot air to circulate around the wings. • Make sure to flip the wings halfway through cooking to ensure even browning and crisp texture. • For extra heat, choose a hot sauce that matches your spice tolerance - from mild to volcanic! • Prep the gorgonzola sauce ahead of time to let the flavors meld together in the refrigerator. • If you want to make these wings extra special, let them marinate in the hot sauce for 30 minutes before baking for deeper flavor. • Serve immediately for the best texture - crispy wings wait for no one!
