LORD OF THE WINGS (CHICKEN WINGS)

Steps:

• 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.
