Preparation

Step 1

For marinade:
In a small, dry saute pan, heat the peppercorns over medium-high heat, stirring, until the peppercorns are fragrant and just beginning to smoke, 2-4 minutes. Transfer to a medium nonreactive bowl and add the salt, wine, mustard, soy sauce, thyme and garlic. Whisk in the canola oil gradually to emulsify the mixture. Sauce will keep refrigerated for 2 weeks.

Dry chicken wings. Deep fry in 365 degrees of oil for 10-12 minutes until chicken is done. Drain and put chicken into big bowl. Add some of the marinade (reserve rest for another use) and blue cheese and toss mixture.
