- 2 - 3 cloves garlic peel/crush

- 140 ml hot sauce your favourite
The Blue Cheese Sauce
- 100 g blue cheese creamy
- 100 ml buttermilk
- 150 ml crème fraiche
- 1 tsp cider vinegar
Instructions
- I always trim the chicken wings by cutting off the end tip. This can get very brittle and sharp in frying.1 kg Chicken Wings
- Pat dry the wings with kitchen paper and bring to room temperature
- To start with making the hot sauce, add the butter to a small saucepan over a medium heat.50 g butter
- Once melted, add the crushed garlic and cook briefly for no more than 2 minutes. You don’t want to burn the butter or garlic so continually stir.2 - 3 cloves garlic
- Then add the vinegar, sugar and hot sauce and thoroughly combine.1 tbsp cider vinegar, 140 ml hot sauce, 1 tsp caster sugar
- Carefully taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper to your tastes.Salt, Pepper
- You will need to rewarm the sauce once the wings have been cooked.
- To make the blue cheese sauce, place all of the ingredients into a glass mixing bowl and blend together until smooth. Hence the reason the onion has to be finely chopped so there are no chunks.100 g blue cheese, 100 ml buttermilk, 150 ml crème fraiche, 1 tsp cider vinegar
- Turn on the deep fat fryer and set to 160C. When the temperature has been reached, carefully cook the chicken wings in small batches for 10 minutes.Vegetable Oil
- When all of the wings have been cooked, raise the temperature to 190C and fry the chicken wings for a further 2 - 3 minutes. They should be a lovely deep crown with a crispy skin.
- Carefully remove the chicken wings and place on kitchen paper to drain.
- Using the warmed hot sauce, pour over the chicken wings in bowls or platters.
- Serve with the blue cheese sauce as a dip.
Notes
I like to use a very hot sauce in this recipe but choose the one you enjoy.
