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.

HONEY-ROSEMARY WINGS WITH GREEK YOGURT AND LEMON GARLIC DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• For the wings: Heat 3 to 4 inches of oil in a large, high-sided pan until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Add the wings in batches and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 13 to 15 minutes.
• For the dipping sauce: Meanwhile, to a bowl, add the Greek yogurt, chives, garlic, lemon juice and celery salt. Stir to combine and taste. Adjust seasoning as needed.
• For the hot wing sauce: In a saute pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter, and then add the honey and warm through until loose and viscous.
• In a large bowl, add the garlic, rosemary, lemon zest and juice and crushed red pepper flakes. Pour the honey-butter into the rosemary mixture.
• As the wings come out of the fryer, toss in the honey-butter sauce. Season to taste. Serve with the Greek yogurt dipping sauce.

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.

FRIED BUFFALO WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Make the dip: Pulse the sour cream, 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: Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Mix the flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture to coat, tapping off the excess. Fry the wings in batches, turning as needed, until cooked through and deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. (Return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.) Remove with tongs and transfer to the rack to drain.
• Meanwhile, combine the hot sauce, butter and honey in a medium pot over medium heat until the butter melts. Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Reserve one-quarter of the sauce for serving. Add the cooked wings to the pot and toss with the remaining sauce. Serve with the blue cheese dip and reserved sauce.

GRILLED BUFFALO BBQ WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• Pat the wings dry, then toss with the All-Purpose Poultry Seasoning. Let sit for 15 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium low (about 250 degrees F).
• Once the grill is up to temperature, place the wings on the upper rack in the grill and cook with the cover closed for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature is around 150 degrees F. Once the chicken wings reach the desired temperature, increase the temperature of your grill to medium high (about 400 degrees F). Spray your grill grates with nonstick grill spray, then place your wings onto the hot grates and cook to create a nice char on each side of the wings, until the final temp reaches 165 degrees F, about 1 minute per side.
• Transfer the wings from the grill to a mixing bowl with the Buffalo BBQ Wing Sauce and toss to coat. Serve with the Blue Cheese Yogurt Dip (or your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing) and carrots and celery sticks.
• Combine the salt, chile powder, paprika, black pepper, granulated sugar, granulated onion, garlic powder and thyme in a mixing bowl and stir to evenly incorporate.
• Combine the vinegar, apple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, chile flakes and paprika in a nonreactive container and whisk to combine.
• Melt the butter over medium heat. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the vinegar mixture and hot sauce and whisk to emulsify.
• Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, blue cheese, buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic powder, granulated onion, black pepper and salt and mix well. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Great as a dip or dressing.
