    Now POINTS® Value: 4
    Servings: 4
    Preparation Time: 12 min
    Cooking Time: 20 min
    Level of Difficulty: Easy

    Ingredients
    1 spray(s) olive oil cooking spray, or enough to coat sheet
    12 oz uncooked skinless chicken wing(s)
    1 1/4 oz Old El Paso Taco Seasoning Mix, or similar product
    1/2 cup(s) fat-free sour cream
    2 tbsp blue cheese, or gorgonzola, crumbled
    2 tbsp fat-free skim milk
    4 medium stalk(s) celery, cut into 2-inch pieces

    Instructions

    * Preheat oven to 400ºF. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

    * Place chicken wings in a zip-close plastic bag, add taco seasoning, seal bag and shake to coat. Transfer wings to prepared baking sheet and bake until cooked through, about 18 to 20 minutes.

    * Meanwhile, to prepare dip, whisk together sour cream, cheese and milk.

    * Serve wings with dip and celery on the side. Yields about 3 wings, 3 tablespoons of dip and 1 celery stalk per serving.

    Chef Tips

    * We renovated Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Dip by:
    o Baking the wings instead of deep frying them in oil.

    o Using fat-free sour cream and nonfat milk in the dip.

    o Using Blue or Gorgonzola cheese – packed with flavor, a little goes a long way.
