Preparation

Step 1

FOR THE BEST BLUE CHEESE DIP:
Combine all the ingredients in a small bowl. Break up any large pieces of blue cheese, cover and refrigerate until ready you dip.

FOR THE SPICY GARLIC WINGS:

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Working in batches if needed, line up the chicken pieces and drizzle with a little olive oil {not a lot!}.

Place pan 5 inches underneath the broiler, flipping every 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked and the skin is golden and crispy, about 25 minutes.

Meanwhile prepare the wing sauce. In a sauce pan combine the Frank's, sugar, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper and Worcestershire sauce. Stir while it is brought up to a simmer for 5-10 minutes then remove off the heat.

In a large bowl whisk together the egg yolk, water and cornstarch. Grab a small measuring cup of the hot sauce and while whisking, slowly stream it into bowl with the egg/cornstarch. Once combined, gradually add in the rest of the sauce.

Add cooked wings into the spicy garlic sauce and toss to coat.

Serve with the blue cheese dip and enjoy!
