| Yield: | 30 wings |
Ingredients
- 30 chicken wings, cut apart at joints, wing tips discarded
- 2 teaspoons ground cayenne pepper
- 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
- 1 cup Louisiana-style hot sauce
- ⅓ cup molasses
- 1 teaspoon liquid mesquite smoke flavoring
- ½ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup chopped green bell pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups prepared blue cheese dressing
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sprinkle the chicken wings on all sides with cayenne pepper and seasoned salt, and spread in a single layer into a large baking dish.
- Bake the wings in the preheated oven until the skin is browned and crisp, 30 to 40 minutes, turning the wings over halfway through cooking for even browning.
- While the wings are baking, combine hot sauce, molasses, and liquid smoke flavoring in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the onion, green pepper, and garlic, and bring the mixture to a boil. Stir in the blue cheese dressing. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Transfer the wings from the baking dish to paper towels to drain excess grease. Pour off any excess fat from the dish, and return the wings to the dish. Pour the sauce evenly over the wings, turning them over with a spatula or tongs to coat all sides with sauce.
- Return to the oven and bake until the sauce has thickened and cooked onto the wings, about 20 minutes. Cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Reviews
This is my favorite recipe to bake wings. As I use frozen wings I have adjusted the oven temp higher and the cooking times to longer but the taste is awesome!
Used Buffalo ranch instead of blue cheese. Family loved it. Less spicy next time
Just O.K. for all the work.
These wings were really good! I baked them at 375 for about 45 minutes then dunked them in the sauce and baked for an additional 30 minutes until they were a dark mahogany color. My husband devoured them. He just called me to say he ate the leftovers for breakfast and they were even better. He likes them cold! Next time I’ll make a full batch so we have plenty for the next day. It’s a keeper for sure! Also I mixed cayenne and black pepper so they wouldn’t be too spicy and they were just right. Hot but not too hot.
They were AWESOME! Wonderful flavor, fiancé loved them. Sweet, juicy, tender.
Mine turn out a little soupier, but I LOVE IT! I could probably get them crispier if I turned the oven up during the first cooking phase, but have enjoyed them just the way they turn out. Meat falls off the bone, sauce is wonderful and I can’t wait to make them again on Sunday for the game.
This was a good recipe, I wanted it a little sweeter so added some honey. I really, like the sauce but , think it will work better for a dipping sauce for chicken tenders. I plan on making it again soon for the tenders. I had to turn up the oven to 400% for about 20 minutes to get it more crispy.
I made these for a dinner party and they were a big hit
this is awesome looks just like the picture when other wing recipes do not. i love this wing recipe an i am picky. probably too picky but i love this recipe.
These were very good. I was really hoping for more blue cheese flavor, but it didn’t really come through. These did not become crispy in the allotted baking time, so I baked them a little longer, then a little less after dunking in the sauce. We enjoyed these on Super Bowl Sunday.
I have had nothing but wonderful feed back on these. My husband makes them and I LOVE them! Holly & Jim K.
