Crispy Buffalo Wings with a Tangy Blue Cheese Dip

1.Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet.

2.In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

3.Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels. Dredge each wing in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour, and place them on the wire rack.

4.Bake the wings in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are crispy and golden brown.

5.While the wings are baking, prepare the buffalo sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the hot sauce and mix well. Remove from heat and set aside.

6.In another bowl, prepare the blue cheese dip by combining the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and crumbled blue cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

7.Once the wings are done baking, remove them from the oven and toss them in the buffalo sauce until well coated.

8.Serve the crispy buffalo wings hot with the tangy blue cheese dip on the side, along with celery and carrot sticks.
