Classic Buffalo Wings With Blue Cheese Dressing Recipes

BUFFALO WINGS WITH SPICY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Cut the tips off the wings and discard. Cut remaining chicken wings in half at the joint. Deep fry wings in about 2 inches of oil in skillet until done. Drain on paper towels.

• SPICY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE: In a small bowl mix together all ingredients. Serve with chicken wings.

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.

CLASSIC BUFFALO WINGS

Steps:

• To make the wings: Place the wings in a glass or other non-reactive bowl and add 1 cup of the hot sauce and Worcestershire. Mix thoroughly, being sure all the wings are coated, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.
• Pour the oil for frying in a large pot to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F.
• Place the flour in a separate mixing bowl and season with kosher salt and cayenne pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, prepare an egg wash by whisking together the eggs and milk until well blended. Working with all 3 bowls (wings, flour mixture and egg wash): first dredge each wing in the flour mixture, then dip the wing in the egg wash; and finally dredge the wing completely in the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Deep-fry the wings for 12 to 15 minutes or until the batter achieves a crisp, uniform texture. When cooked through, set aside to drain on paper towels or the nonprinted side of a paper grocery bag.
• To make the dressing: in a mixing bowl and using a wire whisk, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, vinegar, parsley, shallots, and garlic, blending until smooth. Gently stir in the crumbled cheese until completely mixed in.
• To serve, place the fried wings in a large bowl and drench with the remaining 1 cup hot sauce (or less, to taste). Serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce and celery sticks on the side -- and plenty of napkins!

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.

CLASSIC BUFFALO WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

Steps:

• 1. For wings: In a small bowl mix together the flour, salt, cayenne, paprika and garlic powder. Place chicken wings in a large glass dish or bowl and sprinkle flour mixture over them and toss until they are evenly coated. Cover dish or bowl and refrigerate for 1 hour. (This sets the flour.) Heat oil in a deep fryer or deep pan to 375 degrees. The oil should be just enough to cover wings entirely, an inch or so deep. Combine the butter, hot sauce, pepper and garlic powder in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir together and heat until butter is melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat and reserve for serving. Fry coated wings in hot oil for 10 to 15 minutes, or until parts of wings begin to turn brown. Remove from heat, place wings in large bowl, add hot sauce mixture and toss and stir together til coated. Pour onto large serving platter.
• 2. For blue cheese dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together ingredients, until the dressing is creamy but still slightly lumpy from the blue cheese. Garnish with extra crumbled blue cheese if desired.
• 3. A higher quality can be subbed for the Maytag Blue if desired, such as Roquefort or Gorgonzola, but it isn't really necessary for this and Maytag is really quite good.
• 4. Serve platter of wings, hot, with lots of napkins, blue cheese dressing for dipping, and celery sticks with the tops chilled in a glass or small vase with ice water.

BLUE CHEESE SALAD DRESSING OR DIP (GREAT FOR BUFFALO WINGS)

Steps:

• In a bowl, mix sour cream, buttermilk, mayonnaise and onion salt until well blended; add oil, mix again.
• Crumble blue cheese very finely, and add to buttermilk mixture; stir to mix well.
• Chill for 4 hours or more (to blend flavors).
• Serve with salads, as a fresh veggie dip, or spicy Buffalo-style chicken wings (my husband's favorite!).
• Note: when this dressing is first made, it will appear very stiff, however it will thin out after it chills for several hours, and become just the right consistency for pouring.
