Lord of the Wings (Chicken Wings)
"This recipe is from the Food Network Canada "Eat, Shrink and Be Merry by Greta and Janet Podleski". This is a great tasting wing with less calories. I have now made this twice & received many compliments. I do recommend that you make the "Blue Cheese Dip" as it so good! I have made this recipe "in full" the day before serving grilling the wings 2mins. per side. Then just before serving reheating on the grill 1min. per side."

- 1⁄2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1⁄8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

-
blue cheese dip
- 1⁄2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1⁄3 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise (not fat-free)
- 1⁄4 cup light sour cream

directions
- Chicken "Wings" with Honey-Garlic Marinade: Whisk together all marinade ingredients in a medium bowl.
- Set aside.
- Cut each chicken thigh in half.
- Place chicken pieces in a large, heavy-duty, resealable plastic bag.
- Add 1/2 the marinade to bag (reserve remaining marinade).
- Turn bag several times to coat chicken with marinade.
- Marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and fold or roll the chicken pieces into uniform oblong “wings.”
- Place wings on baking sheet close together (touching), as this will help them hold their shape.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, until partially cooked and still pink in the middle.
- Meanwhile, preheat gas grill to medium-high heat.
- Brush grill rack lightly with oil or spray with cooking spray.
- Using tongs, transfer par-baked wings to grill and cook for about 2 to 3 minutes per side, basting often with reserved marinade.
- The more you baste, the better they taste!
- They should have some nice grill marks on them.
- Serve hot wings with cold blue cheese dip.
- Blue Cheese Dip: Whirl together all dip ingredients in the bowl of a mini food processor until almost smooth.
- The dip shouldn’t be perfectly smooth like sour cream; it should have some texture, but no lumps.
- You can mash the blue cheese and mix the dip by hand, but it will be chunky.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Keeps in the fridge for about two days.

Wow this is good!! At first, I thought it odd to match a hoisin marinated chicken with a blue cheese dip, but just go ahead and do it, it's incredibly yummy. Thanks so much for sharing :) -
Delicious! We had this at a friend's house. Then I found the recipe here. We have tried it a few times, using boneless, skinless chicken thighs. We just marinade, then bake it in the oven at 400 F for 30-40 min. Its been a favorite with everyone so far! -
Yum! Yum! Yum! I marinated this for two days (I was planning to marinate for one day but the day didn't go accordingly). The wings were delicious, I cooked them on the BBQ and served them with the blue cheese sauce. Hubby who is a Lord of the Wings fan liked the name. Thank you Kit^..^ty Of Canada
