Spicy Piccante Calabrese Buffalo Wings with Point Reyes Blue Cheese Dip
Recipe by the Clif Family Culinary Team
Yields: 2-4 servings
INGREDIENTS:
Wings:
2 lbs chicken wings and drumettes
1 bottle
Clif Family Organic Piccante Calabrese Hot Sauce
1 tsp distilled vinegar
¼ stick of unsalted butter, diced
Salt, to taste
2 qts canola oil
Pt. Reyes Bay Blue Cheese Sauce:
½ cup Kewpie Mayo (or preferred brand)
½ cup sour cream
½ cup
Point Reyes Bay Blue Cheese, crumbled
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp finely diced chives
2 tsp salt, to taste
DIRECTIONS:
In a cast iron or enamel coated Dutch oven, preheat 2 quarts of oil to 350° F (monitoring with a candy thermometer).
While oil is heating, in a small saucepan add
Clif Family Organic Piccante Calabrese Hot Sauce and distilled vinegar and warm until just about to simmer. Remove from heat and whisk in diced butter to melt and combine. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together all of the Blue Cheese Sauce ingredients until combined, refrigerate until ready to serve.
Once your oil is heated, working in batches, fry wings until well cooked and crispy (internal temperature of 165° F). Transfer cooked wings to a sheet tray with a rack to drain off excess oil. Once all wings are cooked, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and toss with salt, followed by the Piccante Calabrese buffalo sauce to coat.
Serve warm with Point Reyes Blue Cheese sauce and celery sticks.
