Ingredients

  • 4-6 strips of bacon
  • 2 pounds chicken wings split at the joint, wingtips removed and discarded
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1 bunch celery cleaned and trimmed
  • ranch dressing for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Place the strips of bacon on a metal rack on top of a baking sheet and pop them into the oven for about 15 minutes until crispy. Remove the bacon and the metal rack from the baking sheet and set aside.
  • Toss the chicken wings with the paprika, salt and pepper. Toss them onto the bacon sheet and mix with the bacon drippings. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken wings are fully cooked and the skin is crispy.
  • Break the bacon into pieces. Toss together the cheese and the bacon and set aside.
  • Once the wings are fully cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and top with the bacon cheddar mixture. Place the baking sheet back into the oven and let the cheese melt for about 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately with ranch and celery sticks.
