Cuisine: Southern
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken wings
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 1 cup ranch dressing
- 1 package tortilla chips
- 1 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This temperature is perfect for achieving crispy chicken wings.
- While the oven is heating, prepare the chicken wings. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. This step helps to ensure the wings get crispy when cooked.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the chicken wings with half of the barbecue sauce until they are evenly coated. Set aside the remaining barbecue sauce for later use.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup, and place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet. Arrange the coated chicken wings in a single layer on the wire rack. This allows air to circulate around the wings, helping them to cook evenly and become crispy.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wings for 40-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Flip the wings halfway through the cooking time to ensure even crispiness.
- While the wings are baking, prepare the dip by combining the ranch dressing and the remaining barbecue sauce in a small bowl. Mix well until fully combined. This will serve as a delicious dipping sauce for the wings.
- Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This will help them firm up a bit before serving.
- While the wings are cooling, prepare the tortilla chips. Arrange them on a large serving platter or baking dish. You can also place them in the oven for a few minutes to warm them up if desired.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the tortilla chips. If you want the cheese melted, you can return the platter to the oven for about 5 minutes, just until the cheese is bubbly and melted.
- Once the cheese is melted, remove the platter from the oven and arrange the baked chicken wings on the same platter or in a separate serving dish.
- Serve the chicken wings alongside the tortilla chips and cheese, with the ranch and barbecue sauce dip on the side. Enjoy your Southern Discourse Super Bowl Favorites with friends and family!
Tips
