What To Serve With Chicken Wings
Typically wings are served with extra sauce on the side or with ranch or bleu cheese dressing. However, if you want to be a little more adventurous, try some other types of dipping sauces, such as Creamy Avocado Dip, or Sriracha Sour Cream Dip.
Often the dips are served cold to offset the spicy heat of the wings. However, if you are serving wings that are on the sweet side then you could pair it with a more bold-flavored dip like Creamy Tomatillo Jalapeño Ranch Dip!

I could never figure out everyone’s fascination with Chicken Wings! MY family would never eat wings. They’re nothing but fatty skin attached to bones, and IMO only good for making Chicken Stock, otherwise discarded. My husband’s definition of wings is: “The version of ‘Steak’, that’s served at a block party in a mobile home community”. Some of your recipes sound super tasty, so I’ll use one or two to make Drumsticks, which we & our guests will surely enjoy. Just sayin’…..
