Step 1
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
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
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
Once the wings and potatoes are ready, arrange them beautifully on a serving platter. Serve hot alongside the cheesy dip.
Invite your family to enjoy a delicious meal that’s sure to be a **new favorite**! Celebrate the delightful combination of baked wings and savory potatoes with creamy cheese sauce, truly a dish for any occasion!

A whisk will help you mix your special cheesy sauce to perfection, ensuring all ingredients are well blended and creamy.

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!
