Baked Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Sauce

Serves 8

Prep Time- 10 minutes

Cook time 35 minutes

2 pounds of chicken wings, tips removed and separated at joints

½ cup of hot sauce (like Frank’s Red-hot)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

1 tablespoon honey

2 ½ teaspoon cider vinegar

2 ounces blue cheese, crumbled

½ cup low-fat buttermilk, shaken well

3 tablespoons nonfat sour cream

1 teaspoon sugar

¼ tsp. of kosher salt

¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper

Cut celery/carrot sticks

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.  Place wings in a large pot, fill with water so that it covers the chicken by 1 inch, and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.  Drain, and then pat dry with paper towels.

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and arrange wings, in a single layer, skin-side down.  Bake for 25 minutes or until golden on the bottom.  Turn and bake for 5 minutes more.

Meanwhile, combine hot sauce, butter, honey and ½ tsp. vinegar in a large bowl and set aside.

In a medium bowl, roughly mash blue cheese with a fork.  Whisk in remaining vinegar, buttermilk, sour cream, sugar, kosher salt, and pepper

Toss warm wings with sauce until well coated.  Transfer with tongs to a platter.  Serve with celery/carrot sticks if desired.
