First, season your wings with salt, pepper, paprika, cumin, and garlic powder. I like to add some fresh chopped garlic as well.
Pop into a 375 degree oven, turning about 25 minutes into baking.
Meanwhile, time to make your dipping sauce. While some people go for ranch dressing (ie every sports bar in Canada, apparently), we prefer blue cheese. And here's the best and easiest way to go:
Two simple ingredients: sour cream and blue cheese. Just mix together, and voila, blue cheese dipping sauce! It might take a few tries to find your desired ratio of sour cream to blue cheese. We personally prefer ours heavy on the cheese, but for others that might be too strong.
As the wings continue to cook, it's time to get your wing sauce ready. Start by combining butter and garlic on low heat in a saucepan.
Now here come the hot sauces.
The level of heat is entirely up to the cook, but we use a combination of Frank's Red Hot, Cholula's, and Melinda's. The real necessity here is Frank's Red Hot as a base, the rest is up to personal preference and what you have around your kitchen. Plus salt and pepper, of course.
Once the wings have baked for around 45-50 minutes, remove from oven,
dip each wing,
and back in the oven they go.
After baking for another ten minutes, remove the wings from the oven and place in a large bowl. The remaining sauce can then be poured on if you prefer your wings on the saucier side.
Serve with blue cheese dipping sauce, carrots and rice.
Mmmm. These are way better than anything you'll find in a restaurant. By the way, I can't take any credit for this recipe, I learned to cook wings entirely from my husband...
But the wings are best eaten while watching the Ravens win :)
