Directions
Heat a deep-fryer or large saucepan filled with oil to 375°F.
Make the Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce. In a food processor or high powered blender fitted with a blade,* pulse together Frigo® Crumbled Blue Cheese, sour cream, whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt (at this time add lemon and dill if including) until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. *Alternatively, mix in a medium bowl with a rubber spatula until smooth.
Rinse wings in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, toss together with salt and black pepper.
Fry chicken wings until crisp, no longer pink at the bone, and the juices run clear, 9 to 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make Honey Garlic Wing Sauce by pulsing chili peppers and garlic cloves in a food processor or blender fitted with a blade. Scrape into a small saucepan with soy sauce, honey, sugar, water, ketchup, vinegar, sesame oil, cornstarch, and salt and bring to a boil. Turn heat to low and simmer until wings are ready.
When wings are done, shake off excess oil and transfer to a large bowl. Pour Garlic Honey Sauce over them and carefully sauce to evenly coat. Finish by sprinkling with Frigo® Crumbled Blue Cheese.
Transfer to a large plate and serve alongside Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce.
Enjoy as a meal with Creamy Blue Cheese Slaw!
