Instructions
Make the Dipping Sauce: In a food processor fitted with a steel blade, blend the bleu cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, Worcestershire sauce, ¾ teaspoon salt, and black pepper until almost smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside.
Prepare the Chicken Wings: Preheat your broiler to high. Cut the chicken wings into thirds, separating at the joints. Discard the wing tips. Arrange the wing pieces in a single layer in a baking pan.
Make the Buffalo Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the cayenne pepper, Tabasco sauce, and the remaining 1 teaspoon of salt to combine.
Broil the Wings: Generously brush the wings with the buffalo sauce mixture. Place the pan about 3 inches below the broiler and broil for 8 minutes, until the wings start to turn golden brown.
Flip the wings over, brush with the remaining sauce, and broil for another 5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Remove the wings from the broiler and arrange them on a serving platter. Serve hot or at room temperature, accompanied by the prepared dipping sauce.
Notes
Adjust the Heat: Feel free to modify the amount of cayenne pepper and Tabasco sauce to suit your taste preferences for spiciness.
Serving Suggestion: For an authentic Buffalo Chicken Wings experience, serve with celery sticks and extra dipping sauce on the side.
