BUFFALO WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Separate your wings into flats and drumettes using a sharp knife.
• Dry the wings with a paper towel, the dryer you get them the crispier the skin will be, and place in a bowl.
• Mix the seasoning ingredients together, add to the bowl and toss to coat the wings.
• Get your BBQ up to temp of around 450°F plus for air frying.
• Cook wings for 45 minutes using high indirect heat to allow fat to render and skin to crisp up.
• Mix up the blue cheese ingredients in a food processor.
• Melt butter in a saucepan and add hot sauce and whisk until butter is melted.
• Take the wings off the heat and place in a bowl. Add the hot sauce and stir gently to coat the wings.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes and enjoy.
