Ingredients

Red Pepper Chicken Wings

  • 2 red bell peppers, quartered
  • 2 Roma tomatoes, quartered
  • 3 shallots, quartered
  • 2 garlic cloves, skin on
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons red wine vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 lb chicken wings
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Greek Yogurt Ranch

  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped dill
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Red Pepper Sauce: Roast or sauté the red bell peppers, Roma tomatoes, shallots, and garlic cloves until soft and caramelized. Allow to cool slightly.
  2. Blend the Sauce Ingredients: In a blender, combine the roasted vegetables with fresh basil, extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth to create a flavorful red pepper sauce.
  3. Marinate the Chicken Wings: Toss the chicken wings in the red pepper sauce ensuring each wing is fully coated. Let them marinate for at least 30 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  4. Cook the Wings: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Arrange the marinated wings on the sheet and bake for 35-40 minutes, turning once halfway through until wings are cooked through and skin is crispy.
  5. Make the Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip: In a bowl, mix the plain Greek yogurt, buttermilk, chopped parsley, chopped dill, garlic powder, lemon juice, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve: Plate the baked red pepper chicken wings and serve with the Greek yogurt ranch dip on the side for dipping. Enjoy warm.

Notes

  • For added smoky flavor, you can char the red bell peppers before blending.
  • Marinating the wings overnight enhances the flavor more deeply.
  • If you prefer, wings can also be cooked on a grill or air fryer for a variation.
  • The Greek yogurt ranch dip can be prepared a day ahead to deepen flavor.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your preferred heat level.
