Step 1

Prepping the Wings

Begin by preheating your oven to 200 degrees Celsius (about 400 degrees Fahrenheit). In a large bowl, mix the chicken wings with olive oil, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Ensure all wings are **well coated** with the marinade.

Place the wings on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for **30 minutes**, flipping halfway through until they are **crispy and golden**.

Step 2

Cooking the Potatoes

While the wings are baking, prepare the potatoes. Peel and cut them into wedges, then place them in a bowl. Add olive oil, salt, and rosemary, mixing well to coat.

Spread the potato wedges on another baking tray, and roast them in the oven for **25-30 minutes** or until they are **tender and golden** brown.

Step 3

Making the Cheese Sauce

For the sauce, combine cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and milk in a saucepan over **medium heat**. Stir continuously until the mixture is **smooth and creamy**.

Add garlic powder, mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Keep stirring until fully combined, and remove from heat.

Step 4

Serving the Dish

Once the wings and potatoes are ready, arrange them beautifully on a serving platter. Serve hot alongside the cheesy dip.

Faq

  • What should I do if my chicken wings are not crispy?

    Ensure that you pat the wings dry before marinating them and avoid overcrowding the baking sheet. This allows for better airflow and crispiness while baking.

  • How can I make the cheesy sauce even richer?

    Consider adding a splash of cream or milk for a creamier texture! But don't forget to taste constantly to adjust according to your palate!

  • Can I use frozen wings instead of fresh wings?

    Yes, you can! Just remember to thaw them completely before marinating to ensure even cooking and absorbing of flavors!

  • How do I tell when the wings are fully cooked?

    The best way to check is using a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C). Additionally, the skin should be golden and crispy!

  • What other spices can I use for seasoning?

    Feel free to experiment with flavors! Smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper add a great kick, while dried herbs like thyme or oregano can enhance the flavor profile.

  • Can I prepare the wings ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can marinate them the night before and store them in the refrigerator. Just bake them when you're ready to serve!
