BUFFALO WINGS WITH GORGONZOLA DIPPING SAUCE

By

Ingredients

  • Dipping Sauce:
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup buttermilk
  • 1 (1-oz) pkg ranch dressing and seasoning mix
  • 1 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • Wings:
  • 3 lbs chicken wings
  • 1/4 cup rice flour
  • 1/2 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • Preparation:
  • To prepare the dipping sauce, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, ranch dressing mix, and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. Fold in the Gorgonzola and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • To prepare the wings, heat up oil in a deep fryer or a Dutch oven to 375°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with the rice flour until coated.
  • In 2 batches, fry the wings in the preheated oil for 10–12 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the wing reaches 165°F. Transfer them onto a baking sheet lined with paper towels to sop up any excess oil.
  • While the wings are frying, whisk together the hot sauce and butter in a mixing bowl large enough to toss the wings in.
  • Once both batches are complete, put the wings into the mixing bowl with the hot sauce mixture. Toss until coated and serve with the prepared dipping sauce.
