🍽 Ingredients
📖 Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; this prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze! Trust me on this one.
- In a small saucepan, gently warm 1/2 cup of your favorite wing sauce over low heat. Don't let it boil! Just heat it through nicely.
- In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup mayonnaise (I like using Duke's, but any good quality mayo works), 4 ounces of crumbled blue cheese (I find that Gorgonzola dolce is amazing here, but really, experiment!), and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Whisk until smooth; it should look almost creamy.
- If you feel like it needs it, add a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper, but taste it first! Sometimes the blue cheese is salty enough on its own, and you can always add more later, but you can't take it away!
- Place your favorite chicken wings (about 2 pounds—I usually buy pre-cut ones to save time, you know?) on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they're not overlapping too much for even cooking.
- Brush the wings generously with the warm wing sauce; ensure they're evenly coated. This step is key for perfectly glazed wings!
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are cooked through and nicely browned. They should be crispy on the outside but still juicy inside. It's the best of both worlds!
- Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. Don't burn yourself!
- Serve immediately with a generous dollop of the blue cheese aioli on the side. You can also drizzle a bit extra of the aioli on the wings themselves if you are feeling generous.
- Enjoy your unbelievably delicious blue cheese aioli wings! Seriously, get ready for a flavor explosion!
📝 Notes
- Adjust seasoning to your taste.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the aioli.
- You can also experiment with different types of wing sauce!
