Boneless Buffalo Wings With Lighter Blue Cheese Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all dip ingredients and chill overnight if possible.
• Spread wings out on a lightly oiled cookie sheet.
• Mix melted butter, vinegar, and hot pepper sauce.
• Brush butter mixture onto wings.
• (Can do this ahead and hold for 2 hours maximum if at room temp).
• Bake at 400° for 20- 30 minutes, or until wings are cooked through.
• Baste one time during cooking.
• Sprinkle cayenne during last 5 minutes of cooking for more heat.
• Serve hot with dip and celery sticks.

Steps:

• Prep the chicken:
• Stir buttermilk, hot sauce, and 1 Tbsp. salt in a wide, shallow bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat.
• Mix flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, and remaining 1 Tbsp. salt in a large bowl.
• Working in batches, transfer chicken to bowl with flour mixture. Toss to coat, then transfer to a rimmed baking sheet or large platter. Working in batches again, dip in buttermilk mixture, allow excess to drip off, then dip again in flour mixture. Transfer back to baking sheet and chill at least 15 minutes and up to 2 hours.
• For the hot sauce:
• Meanwhile, cook butter, hot sauce, and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until butter is melted and mixture is smooth.
• For the blue cheese dip:
• Whisk sour cream, buttermilk, blue cheese, pepper, salt, and 1 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. chives in a small bowl. Top with remaining 1 tsp. chives.
• Fry the chicken:
• Preheat oven to 250°F. Set a wire rack over another rimmed baking sheet.
• Pour oil into a large heavy pot fitted with thermometer to a depth of 2". Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 350°F. Working in batches, fry chicken, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown and an instant-read thermometer registers 165°F, 4-6 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken to prepared wire rack, season with salt, and keep warm in oven.
• Right before serving, transfer fried chicken to a large bowl. Pour hot sauce mixture over and gently turn with tongs until coated. Serve with blue cheese dip and celery sticks alongside.

Steps:

• Slowly melt the butter, hot sauce and vinegar in a medium saucepan, then pour into a large bowl. Mix all the ingredients for the blue cheese dip together with a pinch of salt. Cover and chill until needed.
• Trim the end off each chicken wing, then cut each in half through the joint. Tip the wings into a bowl. Add the celery salt (if using), seasoning and enough flour so they're all evenly coated.
• Heat 4 tbsp oil in a large, deep frying pan and add the wings (do this in 2 batches if your pan isn't big enough). Fry them, stirring frequently, until they are cooked through and browned all over, about 10 mins for each batch. As soon as they are cooked, transfer them to the bowl of butter sauce and stir well. Repeat with the second batch. Serve the wings on a platter with any extra buttery sauce poured over and the blue cheese dip and celery sticks on the side

Steps:

• Whisk together: buttermilk, 1 T. hot pepper sauce, 1 T. vinegar. Add chicken; toss to coat. Marinate in fridge between 10 minutes to 24 hours, stirring occasionally. Do this in a nonreactive bowl (glass or ceramic, not metal).
• Put flour and cornmeal in shallow dish or large, ziplock-type bag.
• Whisk together last 1/2 T. hot sauce and 1/2 T. vinegar in small bowl. Set aside.
• Remove chicken from marinade. Roll or toss in flour. Throw away any leftover marinade and/or flour mixture.
• Heat 1.5 t. oil over med-hi heat. Add half the chicken. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3-4 minutes/side. Transfer to serving plate. Repeat with remaining oil and chicken, reducing heat if necessary. Before serving, drizzle chicken with the set-aside hot sauce mixture.
• Dip: Whisk it together.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Combine flour, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in a large bowl. Whisk together the egg and milk in a small bowl. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture, and then roll in the flour blend. Repeat so that each piece of chicken is double coated. Refrigerate breaded chicken for 20 minutes.
• Fry chicken in the hot oil, in batches. Cook until the exterior is nicely browned, and the juices run clear, 5 to 6 minutes a batch.
• Combine hot sauce and butter in a small bowl. Microwave sauce on High until melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Pour sauce over the cooked chicken; mix to coat.

Steps:

• To prepare dip: Whisk sour cream, blue cheese, 1 tablespoon vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To prepare wings: Whisk buttermilk, 2 tablespoons hot sauce and 2 tablespoons vinegar in a large bowl until combined. Add chicken; toss to coat. Transfer to the refrigerator and let marinate for at least 10 minutes or up to 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

• Remove the chicken from the marinade and roll in the flour mixture until evenly coated. (Discard remaining marinade and flour mixture.) Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon cayenne.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken, placing each piece in a little oil. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and chicken, reducing the heat if necessary to prevent burning. Transfer to the platter. Drizzle the chicken with the reserved hot sauce mixture.
