Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dip

Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Dip is a recipe that can be served as a starter, main dish and snack. It just depends on the size of portion. The chicken wings can be served hot or cold but I prefer the dip to be chilled. A chilled blue cheese dip brings out that extra flavour. I like to use either gorgonzola or stilton in the dip but Danish Blue and Roquefort are perfect alternatives.
