Oven Baked Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Sauce

Ingredient

1kg Free Range Chicken wings, cut into single pieces and patted dry with paper towel
1tbs sea salt
1tbs black pepper
1tbs smoked paprika
1tbs Garlic powder
1tbs Onion powder
½ cup butter
½ cup Franks Hot Sauce
1tbs Honey
½ cup yoghurt
½ cup Blue Cheese
1tsp Celery salt
1tsp black pepper
Pickled Celery to garnish

Method

Preheat an oven to 210deg C

Combine the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and onion powder in a large bowl, mix together. Add the wings and toss until evenly coated in the spices.

Place unto a wire cake rack over a baking tray. Making sure to space the wings so they don’t touch. Place in the oven and cook until crispy and golden.

In a saucepan combine the hot sauce, butter and honey. Place on a medium heat, cook stirring gently until the butter and honey are melted into the sauce.

Add the yoghurt, blue cheese, celery salt and black pepper to a bowl, mix together until combined into a sauce.

Once the wings are cooked add to a large bowl and pour over the hot sauce, toss until the wings are coated. Serve straight away with the blue cheese sauce on the side and come pickles. I like pickled celery.
