Ingredients

• 2 pounds Chicken wings
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 teaspoons Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Hot sauce
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1 cup Blue cheese crumbles
• 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Place a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for optimal cooking.

Step 2

In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

Step 3

Arrange the seasoned wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the wings are golden brown and cooked through, flipping them halfway through cooking for even crispiness.

Step 4

While the wings bake, prepare the blue cheese glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the hot sauce and honey. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.

Step 5

Using a small mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese crumbles, Greek yogurt, and lemon juice. Mash the mixture together gently with a fork, leaving some blue cheese chunks intact for texture. Set aside as the dipping sauce.

Step 6

Once the wings are done cooking, transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm blue cheese glaze over the wings and toss well to coat evenly.

Step 7

Arrange the glazed wings on a serving platter. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, for a pop of color and flavor.

Step 8

Serve the wings hot with the blue cheese dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy your Blue Monday Wings!
