BOBBY FLAY'S HOT WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE-YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Combine the yogurt, blue cheese, red onion, cilantro, and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
• Make the wings: Heat 2 inches of peanut oil in a large high-sided pan until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Stir together the flour, salt and pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder and the garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Season the wings with salt and pepper and add in batches to the flour mixture to lightly coat. Tap off the excess flour, add the wings to the oil in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Bring the vinegar, chipotle puree, the remaining 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder and the New Mexico chili powder to a simmer in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, the honey and butter until smooth. Add the wings and toss to coat. Garnish with cilantro, if desired, and serve with the jicama sticks and blue cheese sauce.

BUFFALO BLUE CHEESE WINGS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Wash and pat dry the chicken wings and place them in a large bowl. Season them with salt and pepper and toss well.
• Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes then brush them generously with Litehouse Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing. It's not necessary to brush them on both sides, also it's not necessary to turn the wings over, they will be crispy on both sides.
• Place the wings in the oven for another 20 minutes or until they are dark golden brown, you'll notice the skin will be very crispy.
• Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them, then toss well. Make sure you do this while they are still warm.
• While the wings are in the oven you can start preparing the dip by dumping all the dip ingredients together into a medium size bowl and stirring everything together.
• Transfer the dip to a smaller baking dish (make sure it's oven safe) and bake (in the preheated oven @ 425F) for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
• Serve the wings with dip, alongside veggies, such as carrots or celery sticks and tortilla chips.

FRIED BUFFALO WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Make the dip: Pulse the sour cream, blue cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, milk and lemon juice in a food processor until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Make the wings: Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Mix the flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture to coat, tapping off the excess. Fry the wings in batches, turning as needed, until cooked through and deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. (Return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.) Remove with tongs and transfer to the rack to drain.
• Meanwhile, combine the hot sauce, butter and honey in a medium pot over medium heat until the butter melts. Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Reserve one-quarter of the sauce for serving. Add the cooked wings to the pot and toss with the remaining sauce. Serve with the blue cheese dip and reserved sauce.

SLOW COOKER BBQ HOT WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP

Steps:

• Mix water and liquid smoke in the bottom of a large slow cooker. Add frozen wings and sprinkle with kosher salt. Cook on high for about 4 hours.
• Mix together all the ingredients for the blue cheese dip except for the blue cheese crumbles. Then gently stir in the blue cheese. (You can also blend them in if you don't like big pieces of cheese). Refrigerate for at least a couple of hours, the longer the better- it just gets more flavorful.
• Just before wings are done cooking, add all sauce ingredients to a small sauce pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes.
• When wings are done cooking in the slow cooker, dip each wing in the sauce and place on a cookie sheet. Place in oven under the broiler on high for a couple of minutes, then dip each wing again and place on the cookie sheet again with the other side of the wing facing up. Place under the broiler again for a couple of minutes. Place wings on a serving plate and baste with the remaining sauce.
• Serve with blue cheese dip and celery.

BUFFALO WINGS WITH SPICY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise and buttermilk with the blue cheese, minced garlic, Worcestershire, the 1 tablespoon vinegar, hot sauce, garlic powder and a generous pinch of salt. Taste for seasoning. Add more vinegar if it needs additional acidity. Add more salt, if necessary. Add a splash of water, if necessary, to loosen the dressing or if the flavors are too intense. Set aside.
• Make the Buffalo sauce: Melt the butter with the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the hot sauce. Keep warm.
• Prepare the wings: Pour the oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Prepare 2 rimmed baking sheets, one lined with a wire rack. In a large bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch. Separate the larger wings from the smaller ones. Season all of them with salt and toss in the flour mix. Shake off the excess.
• Fry the wings: Lower half of the larger wings into the oil and gently "swirl" the oil with a slotted spoon as they fry. This swirling will assure the wings fry more evenly on all sides. When they are light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes, remove them with the slotted spoon and lay them out on the wire rack. Season with salt. Cook the rest of the wings in batches, keeping the fried wings warm on the second baking sheet in the oven until all are cooked. Leave the wings in the oven for at least 10 minutes to assure all are cooked through.
• Toss the wings in a large bowl with all of the Buffalo sauce. Serve on a large platter with the blue cheese dressing and vegetables on the side.

• Season the wings on both sides with the salt and pepper. Brush the wings with the reserved sauce in the bowl and place on the grill. Grill on each side for 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove wings from the grill and toss with the warm hot sauce. Transfer to a platter and serve with the blue cheese sauce on the side for dipping.
• For the blue cheese-celery dipping sauce:
• Whisk together all ingredients in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
