How to Make Buffalo Wings

Ingredients

• 2 lb (1 kg) chicken wings and drummettes
• 4 oz (110 g) blue cheese, crumbled
• ¾ cup mayonnaise
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• ¼ cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 6 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into cubes
• ¼ cup hot pepper sauce
• 4 celery stalks, cut into sticks

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut a piece of parchment paper just large enough to line a rimmed baking sheet.
2. Spread chicken wings, skin side up, evenly over parchment on baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until wings are cooked through and skin is crisp.
3. While wings cook, combine blue cheese, mayonnaise, heavy cream, sour cream, lemon juice, black pepper, and ½ teaspoon sea salt in a small bowl. Refrigerate dressing for later use.
4. Heat a small saucepan over low heat. Add unsalted butter. When butter melts, whisk in hot pepper sauce and remaining ½ teaspoon sea salt. Remove sauce from heat.
5. When wings are done, transfer to a large bowl along with sauce and toss to coat.
6. Serve wings alongside blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
