Spicy Dry Rub for Wings:
2 lbs Good Ranchers’ Chicken Wings
2 tbsp Olive Oil
½ tbsp Ancho Chile Pepper
½ tbsp Smoked Paprika
½ tbsp Onion Powder
½ tbsp Kosher Salt
½ tbsp Light Brown Sugar
½ tsp Chili Powder
½ tsp Paprika
½ tsp Cumin
½ tsp Garlic Powder
½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
½ tsp Mustard Powder
¼ tsp Black Pepper
½ tsp Italian Seasoning
Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce:
½ cup Mayonnaise
3 tbsp Buttermilk
3-4 oz Blue Cheese Crumbles
1 clove of Garlic, grated
½ tbsp Lemon Juice
¼ tsp Black Pepper
¼ tsp Kosher Salt
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set a metal drying rack on top. The drying rack allows air to circulate beneath the wings and get them crispy on all edges without having to turn them while baking. Lay the chicken wings out and pat them dry with paper towels. Place the wings in a large bowl and toss with Olive Oil. In a smaller bowl combine all the dry spices and then toss on the chicken wings, making sure to evenly coat each wing. Lay the wings on the wire rack baking sheet and cook in the oven for 40 minutes.
For the Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce:
Combine all the ingredients in a medium sized bowl and mix thoroughly. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving with the spicy wings.
