The Best-Ever Buffalo Wings Recipe

Preheat the oven to 450°F. Toss the chicken with the salt, pepper, and chili powder, and arrange on a baking sheet. Roast until the skin is lightly blistered and the meat is cooked all the way through, about 15 minutes. Melt the butter in a large nonstick skillet or sauté pan, and add the hot sauce and half of the lemon juice. Remove the wings from the oven and add directly to the hot pan, tossing to thoroughly coat every piece in the sauce. Mix the yogurt, blue cheese, and remaining lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the wings and the celery (if using) with the blue cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
