Ingredients

Chicken Wings

  • 3 lb chicken wings (cut into drumettes and flats)
  • 2 tablespoons aluminum-free baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder

Blue Cheese Sauce

  • 1 oz crumbled blue cheese
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)
  • 2 tablespoons full-fat mayonnaise
  • ½ teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/8 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Honey Sriracha Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup sriracha sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon chili flakes
  • Salt, to taste

Honey Mustard Sauce

  • ¼ cup yellow mustard
  • ¼ cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste

Garnish

  • Avocado slices
  • Lime slices
  • Chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Rack: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top. Grease the rack with non-stick cooking spray to prevent wings from sticking.
  2. Dry the Wings: Pat dry the chicken drumettes and flats thoroughly with paper towels to remove all excess moisture; this ensures a crispy skin after baking.
  3. Mix Seasonings: In a small bowl, combine the baking powder, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to create the spice mix.
  4. Coat the Wings: Place the chicken wings in a large bowl and sprinkle the spice mixture evenly over them. Gently toss to coat every piece thoroughly.
  5. Arrange and Bake: Transfer the coated wings onto the prepared wire rack, spacing them out so air can circulate. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each wing and bake for another 20 minutes. If desired crispiness is not achieved, bake an additional 10-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
  6. Prepare Blue Cheese Sauce: While wings bake, mash crumbled blue cheese into Greek yogurt and mayonnaise in a small bowl using a fork. Stir in lemon juice, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  7. Make Honey Sriracha Sauce: Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in sriracha, honey, chili flakes, and salt. Simmer for 1-2 minutes while stirring. Remove from heat and let cool.
  8. Mix Honey Mustard Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together yellow mustard, honey, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and salt until smooth and well combined.
  9. Serve: Place the crispy hot chicken wings on a serving plate with avocado slices, lime slices, and chopped green onions as garnish. Serve the three dipping sauces separately alongside and enjoy!

Notes

  • Using aluminum-free baking powder prevents any metallic taste and ensures crispiness.
  • Ensuring wings are dry before coating is crucial for achieving a crunchy texture.
  • The wire rack allows air circulation all around the wings to crisp evenly without frying.
  • Adjust baking time based on wing size and desired crispness—check them periodically.
  • The three sauces can be made ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
  • Leftover wings can be reheated in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes to re-crisp.
