Crispy Baked Wings with Creamy Garlic Yogurt Dip
Makes 4-5 servings
Prep Time for wings: 15 minutes; Bake Time: About 1 hour and 15 minutes; Prep Time for dip: 5 minutes
Ingredients
For the wings
¼ cup baking powder (you may need more depending on how many wings you have)
A few pinches kosher salt and black pepper
2 pounds chicken wings—I like to use the wingettes but any kind will work
For the dip
⅓ cup plain Greek yogurt
½ cup mayonnaise
Juice of ½ lemon
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 garlic cloves, minced or grated
Handful or two of minced chives or parsley
2-3 shakes Sriracha or hot sauce
The Recipe
1. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
2. Mix the baking powder with the salt and pepper in a medium bowl and dredge the wings in it, tossing well to coat the wings all over and shaking off any excess before transferring to the prepared baking sheet, skin-side up. Bake for 30 minutes, then use tongs to turn them over. Bake another 30 minutes and turn again, then return to oven for another 15 minutes until wings are crispy and golden brown all over.
3. While wings are baking, make the dip: Stir all of the ingredients together in a medium bowl, taste and add more hot sauce if necessary. Store dip in the fridge until ready to use. Dip will keep for up to 1 week.
4. Serve wings with dip on the side.
Enjoy!
