Amazingly crisp wings baked to perfection served alongside an incredibly creamy dipping sauce that everyone will love!
Having a day off of a 5-day workweek sounds like a mini-vacation but I actually spent the entire day cooking and doing some major cleaning around the house. Ever since I started working, there is just no time to clean! But seeing that I had some down time, I busted out the vacuum, the swifter, and the 409. It’s seriously baffling as to how dust accumulates so quickly! No matter how often I clean, there’s just so much dust that piles up on every thing around the house! Ugh.
In addition to being annoyed by the unknown origins of dust around the house, I also spent the latter half of my day being completely angry/upset/frustrated/irritated after paying off my $360 speeding ticket. Well, actually it was $370 since they charged me $10 for paying online. Ridiculous, right? I just can’t help to think how much crap I could buy with $370! I could finally get the pasta attachment for my KitchenAid and the red Le Creuset round Dutch oven.
I could go on and on about how I could spend the $370 but it would just make me more angry so let’s move on to something more pleasant, like these awesome wings. When Jackie from Domestic Fits first posted this, I knew that I immediately had to make them. Her wings were so wonderfully crusted, and that creamy roasted red pepper dipping sauce just tipped it to absolute perfection. I followed the recipe exactly as is and it was just as I had imagined it – crisp on the outside and completely succelent in every bite. And once you dunk them (yes I said dunk and not dip) in this amazing sauce, it’ll serve as a wonderful complement of flavors.

I do not care for goat cheese. Can I omit it altogether? Is there an alternative to it. I also do not care for feta so that would not be an option for me either. I guess you could say I am rather picky! Thanks!
You can feel free to omit but you won’t get that creaminess in the dipping sauce.
Cream cheese is a good substitute for goat cheese. You won’t get the tartness but the texture will be similar.
If I don’t have smoked paprika, do you think will regular paprika work? Should I adjust the amounts at all?
Yes, regular paprika in the same amount will work just fine.

Made these today for the Iowa game! I somewhat doubled the recipe and used 2 packages of wings (8 in each) & 2 packaged of drumsticks (8 in each). Quadrupling the spices, the flavor was fantastic! I roasted a red bell pepper over an open flame (would work on grill too) myself since I could not find any jarred. Worked out perfectly & Everyone raved about the dipping sauce! Thanks for the awesome recipe; we don’t even have any left over! I am going to make your hot cheesy corn dip for the football games on Thanksgiving. Can’t wait!
I’m so glad you had a chance to make this. This is one of my absolute favorite wings recipe! Let me know how the cheesy corn dip turns out!
