Sticky Bourbon Bbq Wings With Blue Cheese Dip Recipes

STICKY SESAME AND BBQ BOURBON WINGS WITH SRIRACHA RANCH

Steps:

• For the wings: Position oven racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line 2 large baking sheets with wire racks.
• Toss the wing parts with a little salt, then arrange them on the racks on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Roast the wings, switching the position of the baking sheets halfway through, until golden brown and very crispy, 45 to 55 minutes.
• For the bourbon barbecue sauce: Meanwhile, combine the ketchup, bourbon, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire, mustard, paprika and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Take off the heat and stir in the butter; transfer to a large bowl.
• For the sticky sesame sauce: Whisk together the hoisin, honey, sesame seeds, butter, sesame oil and sriracha in a large bowl.
• For the sriracha ranch: Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, sriracha and garlic powder in a small bowl; top with the chives.
• To finish the dish: Add half of the wings to the bowl with the barbecue sauce and half to bowl with the sesame sauce; toss to coat. Transfer to a serving platter and serve with the sriracha ranch.

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.
