Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds chicken wings
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 cup hot sauce like Frank's RedHot
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/2 cucumber grated and drained
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a wire rack on top.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the chicken wings with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the wire rack. Bake for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wings are crispy and golden brown.
  4. While the wings are baking, prepare the cucumber ranch. In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, dill, chives, parsley, grated cucumber, and lemon juice. Mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  5. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, honey, and butter. Stir until the butter is melted and the mixture is well combined.
  6. Once the wings are done baking, transfer them to a large bowl and pour the hot honey sauce over them. Toss to coat the wings evenly.
  7. Serve the hot honey buffalo wings with the cucumber ranch on the side for dipping.
