Bbq Chicken Wings With Blue Cheese Butter Recipes

GRILLED BUFFALO BBQ WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE YOGURT DIP

Steps:

• Pat the wings dry, then toss with the All-Purpose Poultry Seasoning. Let sit for 15 minutes.
• Preheat a grill to medium low (about 250 degrees F).
• Once the grill is up to temperature, place the wings on the upper rack in the grill and cook with the cover closed for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature is around 150 degrees F. Once the chicken wings reach the desired temperature, increase the temperature of your grill to medium high (about 400 degrees F). Spray your grill grates with nonstick grill spray, then place your wings onto the hot grates and cook to create a nice char on each side of the wings, until the final temp reaches 165 degrees F, about 1 minute per side.
• Transfer the wings from the grill to a mixing bowl with the Buffalo BBQ Wing Sauce and toss to coat. Serve with the Blue Cheese Yogurt Dip (or your favorite ranch or blue cheese dressing) and carrots and celery sticks.
• Combine the salt, chile powder, paprika, black pepper, granulated sugar, granulated onion, garlic powder and thyme in a mixing bowl and stir to evenly incorporate.
• Combine the vinegar, apple juice, ketchup, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, chile flakes and paprika in a nonreactive container and whisk to combine.
• Melt the butter over medium heat. Transfer to a mixing bowl, add the vinegar mixture and hot sauce and whisk to emulsify.
• Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, blue cheese, buttermilk, lemon juice, garlic powder, granulated onion, black pepper and salt and mix well. Cover and store in the refrigerator until ready to use. Great as a dip or dressing.

STICKY BOURBON BBQ WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Cut the chicken wings into winglets by slicing through each of the joints. Keep the two meaty pieces and discard the wing tips, or freeze for stock.
• Put the winglets on a large baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, then season. Roast in the oven for 20 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and cook for a further 25 mins.
• Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce. Put all the ingredients, except the butter, in a pan and mix together with plenty of black pepper. Let it bubble away for 3-5 mins to thicken up a little, then add the butter and stir until it has melted and made the sauce nice and shiny. Season to taste.
• Half an hour before the chicken wings are ready, take them out of the oven and brush over three-quarters of the barbecue sauce. When they're fully cooked, toss them in the rest of the sauce so that they become sticky.
• In a small bowl, mash the blue cheese dressing ingredients together with some seasoning, until combined. The barbecue sauce and dip can be made a day ahead, covered and chilled. Serve alongside the wings with the celery sticks and radishes for dipping.
