I’m sorry in advance for the slightly excessive number of photos of chicken wings in this post but I just couldn’t help myself. I almost showed you what my plate looked like after I was done devouring these babies but then I thought maybe that would be gross. But, you guys, I am so darn excited about sharing this recipe with you!
You see, I’m not someone who really enjoys going to a bar, drinking a bunch of beers, and eating bar food while watching a sports game. It’s just not my thing. I know, so un-American of me. Add to the equation that lots of beer plus lots of bar food isn’t exactly the healthiest thing, so I try to steer clear of both.
But I get it now.
I get why people love bar food so much. It is greasy, and salty, and down right delicious. And now that I’ve made my own buffalo chicken wings, I think I’m obsessed.
I recently tried Frank’s Hot Sauce
Traditionallly buffalo wings are paired with a blue cheese sauce. I made another cheesy variation, though, using 0% greek yogurt, goat cheese, and fresh dill. I was spooning this straight into my mouth. It still has the same tang as a blue cheese dip but feels a little lighter, and you’re getting some extra protein from the greek yogurt.
So what are you waiting for? Go ahead….get your fingers dirty and dig in!
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 cup Frank’s buffalo hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 lbs buffalo chicken wings (I bought mine already prepared from Whole Foods)
- 1 cup 0% greek yogurt
- 2.5 oz. goat cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- Combine olive oil, hot sauce, and salt in a bowl and whisk to mix completely.
- Add wings to a large bowl and pour half of the hot sauce mixture over the wings. Toss to coat and set aside for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Set oven to broil.
- Spread wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat and place in the oven for 15 minutes. Remove, flip the wings, and broil for another 15-20 minutes. You may need to add more time- you will know the wings are done when the skin is crispy and browned.
- While the wings are cooking, add goat cheese, greek yogurt, and fresh dill to a small bowl and mix to combine completely.
- Toss wings in the remaining hot sauce mixture and serve immediately with dill goat cheese dipping sauce.

I don;t even like buffalo wings and I want these!! What a clever combo with the goat cheese/dill dip.
Everyone likes goat cheese!!
This recipe will definitely win the challenge!! Thanks.
YUM! These wings look so good, and I love that you made the dip healthy by using Greek yogurt instead! Great gameday snack!
