Lemon-Dijon Chicken Wings with Bacon, Blue Cheese & Spinach SaladLemon-Dijon Chicken Wings with Bacon, Blue Cheese & Spinach Salad — a 40-minute dinner recipe with 11 ingredients, serving 6.Ingredients

1 ½ (142 g) pkg baby spinach

12 slices bacon

3 medium carrots

1.36 kg chicken wings, split with tips removed

1 ½ (113 g) pkg crumbled blue cheese

1 ½ English cucumbers

1 ½ lemons

black pepper

Dijon mustard

extra virgin olive oil

salt

Instructions

Preheat oven to 245°C (475°F). Line two baking sheet pans with aluminum foil to make clean up easier (optional).

Wash and dry the fresh produce. (Skip the spinach if it came pre-washed.)

Zest lemons into a large bowl, then add oil, Dijon, salt, and pepper; whisk to combine the marinade. (Set lemons aside for later use.)

Pat chicken wings dry with paper towels and add to the bowl with the marinade; toss to coat. Divide between the baking sheets and spread out in a single layer.

Place wings in the oven (it doesn't have to be fully heated) and bake, turning once, until cooked through, 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven.

Meanwhile, medium dice bacon.

Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once the skillet is hot, add bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, 5-6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove crispy bacon to a paper towel-lined plate.

While the bacon is cooking, juice reserved lemons into a clean large bowl; add Dijon, salt, and pepper.

When the bacon is done, add drippings from the skillet to the bowl with the lemon juice and Dijon; whisk to combine the dressing.

Using a clean cutting board, peel, trim, and coarsely grate carrots; add to the bowl with the dressing.

Trim and medium dice cucumbers; add to the bowl and set aside.

Right before serving, add crispy bacon, spinach, and blue cheese to the bowl with the dressing and veggies; toss to combine the salad.

To serve, divide wings and salad between plates. Enjoy!
