Fiery Buffalo Wings

By minicoopercraig

Grilling or oven-roasting your wings cuts fat significantly; it's also easier, cheaper (no quart of oil for frying), and (especially on the grill) tastier.

Ingredients

• 2 lb chicken wings (preferably a mix of wing segments and drummettes)
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 Tbsp Frank's Red Hot (Want Asian style? Sub 1/4 cup teriyaki sauce for the hot sauce and follow the rest of recipe.)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1 cup plain Greek-style yogurt (like Fage 2%)
• 2 Tbsp crumbled blue cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Celery sticks (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Toss the chicken with the salt, pepper and chili powder and arrange on a baking sheet. Roast until the skin is slightly blistered and the meat is cooked all the way through, about 15 minutes.
Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet or saute pan and add the hot sauce and half of the lemon juice. Remove the wings from the oven and add directly to the hot pan, tossing to thoroughly coat every piece in the sauce.
Mix the yogurt, blue cheese and remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the wings and the celery (if using) with the blue cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
