Buffalo Wings With Greek Yogurt Dip Recipes

BAKED BUFFALO WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE-YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• Make the dip: Pulse the yogurt, blue cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, milk and lemon juice in a food processor until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the wings: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Coat a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Put the chicken wings in a deep skillet; add 3 pieces of celery, 3 pieces of carrot, the bay leaves, chicken broth, hot sauce, paprika, butter, honey and 1/2 cup water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until the chicken is almost cooked through, about 18 minutes. Transfer the wings to the prepared baking sheet and arrange in a single layer; reserve the sauce in the skillet.
• Bake the wings, turning once, until the skin is golden and crisp, 30 to 35 minutes. Meanwhile, simmer the reserved sauce over medium-low heat until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Discard the celery, carrot and bay leaves. Reserve one-quarter of the sauce for serving. Return the wings to the skillet and toss with the remaining sauce. Serve the wings with the blue cheese dip and reserved sauce; cut the remaining celery and carrot into sticks to serve on the side.

BUFFALO WINGS WITH GREEK YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• In a sealable container (large ziplock bag, tupperware, covered dish) marinate wing segments with enough buttermilk to cover and let stand overnight. This step is optional.
• In a large bowl or ziplock bag, combine flour, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper and mix.
• Take a few chicken segments at a time and shake off excess buttermilk. Coat entirely in the flour mixture and set in a sperate container. Repeat with remaining wing segments. Refrigerate coated wings for 1 hour.
• In a 2-quart saucepan, heat butter and hot sauce just until butter melts. Add black pepper, garlic powder and stir with a whisk to combine. Turn heat to low and keep warm on stove top.
• Deep-fry chicken, 8 - 10 pieces at a time, in 375°F oil (vegetable oil, canola oil, or peanut oil) for 13 minutes, turning once or twice.
• Drain chicken on a wire cooling rack or paper towels for 30 seconds, then immediately toss fried chicken in buffalo sauce mixture and remove with a slotted spoon.
• Repeat with remaining chicken.
• For the dip, take at least ½ cup of yogurt and add the blue cheese and cinnamon sugar to your preference.
