Method

1. For the crispy wings

Pre-heat the oven to 160˚C.

Rinse the chicken wings and pat thoroughly, drying with paper towel. Put the wings into a large bowl and sprinkle over the buffalo seasoning, baking powder and sea salt. Toss to coat evenly. Arrange the coated wings over a wire rack with a baking tray underneath and drizzle with oil. Bake for 20 minutes.

Turn the oven up to 200˚C and bake for a further 30 minutes until crisp and golden.

2. For the buffalo sauce

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over a medium heat and add the BBQ sauce, sriracha, tomato paste, and honey. Stir to combine and season to taste. Set aside.

3. For the blue cheese dip

In a bowl mash the blue cheese with a fork, gradually incorporating the sour cream. Mix in the garlic. Whisk in the buttermilk and lemon juice until well combined. Season to taste then refrigerate until required.

4. To serve

Gently toss the crispy wings in the warm buffalo sauce until well coated. Serve with the blue cheese dip, roasted garlic aioli and extra buffalo seasoning.

Notes

  • The buffalo seasoning can be adjusted to taste.
  • Herbs can be added to the blue cheese dip; parsley, oregano, or chives work well.
