Chipotle Chile And Blue Cheese Sauce Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN WINGS WITH SPICY CHIPOTLE HOT SAUCE AND BLUE CHEESE-YOGURT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat grill to high. Toss wings in a few tablespoons of oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on the grill in single layers and grill until golden brown on both sides and just cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
• Whisk together the vinegar, Dijon mustard, chipotle puree, honey, and oil in a medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Melt butter in a large skillet or a large pot on the grates of the grill. Add the hot sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Whisk in the ancho chile powder and season with salt, to taste. Add the wings and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Serve with Blue Cheese-Yogurt Dip.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

CHIPOTLE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine 2 tablespoons each butter and flour, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper in a saucepan; whisk over medium heat until foamy, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1 cup milk; cook, whisking, until thick, about 4 minutes. Add 3/4 cup grated Colby cheese, 1/4 cup chopped canned green chiles (drained), 1 diced plum tomato and 1 to 2 tablespoons chipotle hot sauce; stir until creamy.

RED CHILE CHICKEN WINGS WITH CHIPOTLE HONEY GLAZE

Steps:

• For the blue cheese sauce: Stir together the yogurt, blue cheese, cilantro, onions and salt and pepper to taste in a bowl. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
• For the hot wings: Heat 2 to 3 inches of oil in a large, high-sided pan until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Sprinkle the wings with salt and pepper. Stir together the chile powders, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper in a shallow bowl. Dust the wings with the seasoning mixture and toss in a bowl to evenly coat. Add the wings to the oil in batches and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes.
• For the glaze: In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, chipotle in adobo, honey and Dijon mustard. To a small saute pan, add the butter and melt. Add the melted butter to the bowl with the vinegar-honey mixture and stir to combine.
• Toss the freshly fried wings with the glaze in the bowl. Garnish with cilantro. Serve with the blue cheese sauce.
