INSTRUCTIONS
Ø Preheat oven to 425ºF.
Ø Line a baking sheet with parchment or foil and place a
wire rack on top. Grease rack with cooking spray.
Ø Season wings with salt, paprika, garlic powder, and
urfa. Toss to coat. Let sit at least 30 minutes.
Ø Meanwhile, prepare the blue cheese dressing. Mix
yogurt, cheese, mayo, garlic, scallions, salt and pepper until combined.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Ø Spread out wings evenly across the wire rack lined
baking sheet. Place in preheated oven and cook until deeply golden, about 35-40
minutes.
Ø While wings cook, prepare the buffalo sauce.
Ø In a small sauce pan over medium heat, add butter,
honey, hot sauce, and salt. Melt butter and bring sauce to a simmer. Let cook
and reduce until slightly thick, about 7-8 minutes. You want a nice saucy
consistency, not too thick, not too thin. Set aside.
Ø Remove chicken wings from oven and place in a large
bowl.
Ø Turn broiler on high.
Ø Add about half of the sauce to wings and toss to coat.
Return to baking sheet.
Ø Place wings under broiler and cook until caramelized,
about 3-5 minutes. Just keep an eye on them, things can burn quick in the
broiler!
Ø Return wings to large bowl and toss with desired
amount of honey buffalo sauce.
Ø Garnish with sliced scallions if desired, and serve
with yogurt blue cheese. yum!
NOTES
**Both sauces can be made ahead and stored
in the fridge. Buffalo sauce will need to be reheated before using.
