These fall-off-the-bone tender wings have just the right amount of heat. The creamy, blue cheese dressing has a slight tartness that creates the perfect flavor combination for dipping.—Kevalyn Henderson, Hayward, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
2/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3 pounds frozen chicken wingettes and drumettes, thawed
3 teaspoons chili powder
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
BLUE CHEESE DIP:
1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, sugar, salt, orange peel, garlic and pepper. Pour half of the marinade into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken; seal bag and turn to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Cover and refrigerate remaining marinade.
Drain and discard marinade. Transfer chicken to a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Cover and bake at 325° for 1-1/2 hours or until chicken juices run clear.
Using tongs, transfer chicken to a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cayenne, pepper sauce and reserved marinade. Drizzle over chicken.
Bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes, turning once. In a small bowl, whisk the dip ingredients. Serve with wings. Yield: 2 dozen (1-3/4 cups dip).
