Ingredients

  • 2 lbs Chicken wings
  • 4 tbsp Butter
  • 1 lb Chicken breast
  • 0.5 cup Hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 0.5 tsp Cayenne
  • 3 cloves Garlic
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 0.5 cup Blue cheese dressing
  • 1 cup Chicken broth
  • 4 stalks Celery
  • 1 piece Lime

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat wings completely dry with paper towels. This is critical for crispy skin.

  2. 2

    Toss wings with baking powder and salt. The baking powder raises the pH for extra crispiness.

  3. 3

    Arrange wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Refrigerate uncovered for 1 hour to dry the skin further.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake wings for 45-50 minutes, flipping halfway through.

  5. 5

    While wings bake, make sauce: combine hot sauce, butter, garlic, vinegar, and honey in a saucepan.

  6. 6

    Toss hot wings in sauce until evenly coated. For extra crispy wings, broil for 2 minutes after saucing.

  7. 7

    Squeeze fresh lime over wings and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with blue cheese dip.

    💡 The double-cook method guarantees restaurant-quality crispy wings.
