FRIED BUFFALO WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DIP



Fried Buffalo Wings With Blue Cheese Dip image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 small clove garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon milk or buttermilk
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
3 pounds chicken wings, split at the joints, tips removed
1 1/2 cups Frank's RedHot sauce (or 3/4 cup other hot sauce)
1 stick unsalted butter
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Make the dip: Pulse the sour cream, blue cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, milk and lemon juice in a food processor until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Make the wings: Heat 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large deep skillet over high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F. Set a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Mix the flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture to coat, tapping off the excess. Fry the wings in batches, turning as needed, until cooked through and deep golden brown, about 15 minutes. (Return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches.) Remove with tongs and transfer to the rack to drain.
  • Meanwhile, combine the hot sauce, butter and honey in a medium pot over medium heat until the butter melts. Continue to cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 10 minutes. Reserve one-quarter of the sauce for serving. Add the cooked wings to the pot and toss with the remaining sauce. Serve with the blue cheese dip and reserved sauce.

HOMEMADE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING (BETTER THAN STORE-BOUGHT)



Homemade Blue Cheese Dressing (Better Than Store-Bought) image

This easy homemade blue cheese dressing is extra creamy and perfect for tossing with salad or used as a dipping sauce. Depending on what you plan to use the blue cheese dressing for, you might consider adding a little milk or water. Without it, the dressing is thick, which makes it perfect for dipping. If you want it to be pourable like a salad dressing, a splash of milk or water is the key.

Categories     Salad Dressing

Time 5m

Yield Makes about 1/2 cup

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise, try our homemade mayonnaise recipe
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1 tablespoon minced parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, optional
Pinch fine sea salt
Pinch fresh ground pepper
Milk, buttermilk or water to thin out the dressing, optional

Steps:

  • Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stir until well blended and creamy.
  • Use the back of a spoon to press some of the blue cheese crumbles into the sauce for even more flavor. The dressing will be thick, which makes it perfect for dips.
  • For a pourable dressing that's perfect for salads, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk, buttermilk or water. Taste then adjust with additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for one week.

EASY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE PASTA



Easy Blue Cheese Sauce Pasta image

This easy blue cheese sauce recipe for pasta uses only three ingredients and comes together in a snap by melting into the hot cooked pasta.

Provided by Jennifer Meier

Categories     Dinner     Entree     Pasta

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 pound capellini (or spaghetti)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 pound blue cheese (crumbled)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the noodles.
  • Turn the heat down to low and add the butter to the pot.
  • When the butter has melted, add the noodles back to the pot and stir to coat.
  • Slowly add the blue cheese, stirring the noodles so the cheese melts.
  • As you add the cheese, also drizzle a little of the reserved pasta water over the noodles, using as much or as little as needed. The water will keep the noodles from clumping together and thin out the blue cheese as it melts so the sauce has a lighter, less-sticky texture.
  • Once the blue cheese has mostly melted, stir in the parsley. Add salt to taste.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

RIB EYE STEAK WITH ONION BLUE CHEESE SAUCE



Rib Eye Steak with Onion Blue Cheese Sauce image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 rib eye steaks (about 5 ounces each)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 stick softened butter
1 large yellow onion, sliced
1 cup heavy cream
3 to 4 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup crumbled blue cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to a high heat or light your outdoor grill.
  • Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper and smear both sides of the steaks with 1/2 stick of the butter.
  • Grill the steaks until medium-rare, 3 to 4 minutes per side, and then remove from the heat and keep warm. (You can also saute them in a skillet over medium-high heat if you prefer.)
  • Melt the remaining 1/2 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat, and then saute the onions until golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Pour in the cream, a dash of salt and pepper and the Worcestershire sauce. Let it bubble up, then add the blue cheese and stir together to melt, adding more pepper or Worcestershire sauce as you wish.
  • Place the steaks on plates and spoon the sauce over the top.
  • Take a bite. And the world at long last will make sense.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality blue cheese. The flavor of the blue cheese will be the dominant flavor in the sauce, so it's important to choose one that you enjoy. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and has a strong, pungent flavor.
  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use fresh herbs, garlic, and shallots whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. Blue cheese sauce is best when it is slightly warm and creamy. If you overcook it, the sauce will become thick and gloppy.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Blue cheese sauce can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. Some popular additions include black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the sauce immediately. Blue cheese sauce is best served immediately after it is made. If you need to store the sauce, keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used to dress up a variety of dishes. It is perfect for dipping vegetables, chicken, or fish. It can also be used as a spread on sandwiches or burgers. No matter how you use it, blue cheese sauce is sure to please your taste buds!
