Prepare the Blue Cheese Dip:
- In a mixing bowl, combine Hellmann’s mayonnaise, finely chopped onions, fresh parsley, sour cream, lemon juice, white vinegar, crumbled blue cheese, and minced garlic.

- For best results, chill the dip overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
-
Prepare the Chicken Wings:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Coat the Wings:
- Using a pastry brush or spoon, generously coat each chicken wing with the prepared butter mixture.
- Ensure that each wing is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
-
Bake the Wings:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wings for 20 to 30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and crispy.
- Baste the wings with the butter mixture once during cooking to keep them moist and flavorful.
-
Add Heat (Optional):
- For an extra kick of heat, sprinkle cayenne pepper over the wings during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper according to your personal preference for spiciness.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
