Buffalo chicken wings with roasted potatoes

Buffalo chicken wings with roasted potatoes serve 4 people, take 55 minutes, rate very easy, and cost about €3.00 per person. The trick is drying the wings thoroughly before roasting so the skin turns crispy in the oven, then tossing them in a spicy butter sauce right after they come out.

Game night or not, I'm giving you sticky Buffalo wings with a blue cheese sauce that cools everything down.

They generally like it

The wings come out of the oven golden, then get tossed in melted butter and hot sauce until they turn glossy and sticky. The skin stays crispy under that layer of sauce, and the heat wakes everything up without ever burying the chicken flavor. Alongside, the blue cheese sauce brings creamy coolness, with a few chunks of cheese you can actually feel in each bite.

This is the right dish for game night, a casual dinner with friends, or any meal where everyone eats with their hands. Kids can stick to the potatoes and a milder version, while adults adjust the heat to their own tolerance. Crunchy celery sticks and the blue cheese sauce balance everything out with zero extra effort.

The step by step recipe

  1. Pat the wings dry, season with salt and pepper, coat them with a tablespoon of oil and spread them on a rack set over a baking sheet. 5 min

    Setting the wings on a rack keeps them from sitting in their own fat.

  2. Cut the potatoes into wedges, toss them with oil, paprika, and salt, then roast at 210°C alongside the wings. 45 min

    Put the potatoes on a separate baking sheet so they don't soften.

  3. Mash the blue cheese with the cream, yogurt, and lemon juice to make the sauce, then season generously with pepper.

    Leave a few chunks of blue cheese unmashed, you'll taste them in every bite.

  4. Melt the butter with the hot sauce in a large bowl.

    Adjust the amount of hot sauce depending on how brave your guests are, it's strong.

  5. Take the wings out, drop them into the spicy butter and toss to coat them well.

    Put them back in the oven for five minutes so the sauce caramelizes slightly.

  6. Serve with celery sticks, the blue cheese sauce, and the roasted potatoes.

    Soak the celery sticks in ice water for ten minutes, they turn extra crunchy.

Our tips to get it right

  • Pick wings of similar size so they all finish cooking at the same time.
  • Make the blue cheese sauce before the wings go in the oven, the resting time in the fridge deepens its flavor.
  • For even crispier skin, broil the wings for two minutes right before tossing them in the sauce.

The variations

  • Swap the Tabasco style hot sauce for sriracha for a sweeter, less vinegary flavor.
  • For a vegetarian version, use roasted cauliflower florets instead of chicken wings, the rest of the recipe stays the same.
  • For kids, serve some of the wings without the hot sauce, just tossed in melted butter.

What to serve it with

  • Raw carrot sticks
  • Crunchy coleslaw
  • Ice cold lemonade

Storage

The wings keep for 2 days in the fridge in a sealed container. Reheat them in the oven to bring back the crispiness, the microwave tends to soften the skin. The blue cheese sauce keeps for 2 days in the fridge in a closed container.
