For the wings:
o 16 chicken wings (about 3 pounds)
o 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
o 4 teaspoons Frank’s Hot Sauce, or 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
o 1 teaspoon kosher salt
o
1/4 pound (1 stick) unsalted butter
For the dip:
o 1 1/2 cups crumbled gorgonzola or other blue cheese
o 1 cup good mayonnaise
o 3/4 cup sour cream
o 2 tablespoons milk
o 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
o 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
o 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
o Celery sticks, for serving
Step 1
Preheat the broiler.
Step 2
Cut the chicken wings in thirds, cutting between the bones. Discard the wing tips. Melt the butter and add the cayenne, hot sauce, and salt. Put the wings on a sheet pan and brush them with the melted butter. Broil them about 3 inches below the heat for 8 minutes. Turn the wings, brush them again with the butter, and broil for 4 more minutes, or until cooked.
Step 3
For the dip, place the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Process until almost smooth.
Step 4
Serve the chicken wings hot or at room temperature with the blue cheese dip and celery sticks
