Buffalo style chicken wings are a classic appetizer that have been enjoyed in America for decades. Originating in Buffalo, New York, this flavor has become one of the most popular wing flavors in the country. The chicken wings are coated in a spicy hot sauce and typically served with celery sticks and a creamy blue cheese or ranch dip. This recipe gives you a step-by-step guide to make your own buffalo style wings at home that are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The gorgonzola/blue cheese dip is the perfect complement to these wings, adding a creamy and tangy flavor that pairs well with the spicy sauce.

Instructions

1.Preheat the broiler to high.
2.In a small bowl, mix together the gorgonzola/blue cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, milk, parsley, lemon juice, and salt until well combined. Set aside for later.
3.Rinse the chicken wings and pat them dry. Season them generously with salt and pepper.
4.Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the hot sauce and stir until well combined.
5.Place the chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Place the baking sheet on the top oven rack, directly under the broiler.
6.Broil the wings for 8-10 minutes or until they begin to turn golden brown. Flip the wings over and put them back under the broiler for another 8-10 minutes.
7.Take the wings out of the oven and brush the hot sauce mixture all over them. Place the wings back under the broiler for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce begins to caramelize and form a crust.
8.Arrange the wings and celery sticks on a platter and serve immediately with the gorgonzola/blue cheese dip.
