Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 2.5 lbs chicken wings
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh black pepper

Sauce:

  • 3 1/2 tbsp butter light or regular
  • 1/3 cup Sriracha more or less to your hot preference
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1/2 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp cornstarch or flour

Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dip:

  • 2/3 cup 0% plain greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup blue cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 tsp cashew milk or milk of choice
  • 1/4 tsp dried thyme
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Line a baking or cooking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Place 1-2 racks onto the sheets and spray them with nonstick spray. Set aside.
  • Wash chicken and pat dry. Make sure to give each wing a good squeeze to remove any excess water from them. This will help to crisp them up.
  • Place the wings on a platter and brush each one thoroughly with olive oil. After you've coated a wing, place it into a large bowl, continuing until you've transferred them all over.
  • Combine all of the seasonings for the chicken in a small bowl, stirring to mix well.
  • Once mixed, slowly sprinkle the seasoning over the wings. It's easiest and best to use your hands at this point, making sure to rub seasoning into each wing.
  • Place each wing onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly apart.
  • Place into the oven to bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, flip and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • While you're waiting on the wings, prepare the dip and the wing sauce. Combine all ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix thoroughly. Mash a bit of the blue cheese with a fork to incorporate the flavor in with the greek yogurt. Cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to dip!
  • Place a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Once heated, add the butter to melt and slowly add the remaining ingredients in the order listed above, saving the cornstarch for last. Add the corn starch (or flour) slowly, making sure to whisk the entire time to ensure there are no clumps.
  • Once the wings are done, remove from oven and place them into a large bowl. Pour the sauce over the top and toss the wings to coat.
  • Place the wings back onto the rack and into the oven under broil. Be sure to watch during this time! You want the to crisp/brown up slightly, but they will burn or dry out rather quickly if you're not watching them.
  • Remove from oven and allow to cool a little before handling. Serve with the Greek Yogurt Blue Cheese Dip, or dip of choice. Enjoy.
