BLUE CHEESE AND ROASTED GARLIC DIP/SPREAD
This is the most amazing dip that is also wonderful spread on grilled steaks and burgers and also wonderful served on the side with raw veggies --- fresh garlic may be used, but be cautious only to use a small amount 1 teaspoon minced or less of fresh will do fine as it will overpower the other ingredients, I use about 1 tablespoon roasted for this, start by adding in a small amount at a time, and increase the amount of roasted garlic (fresh or roasted) as this dip gets stronger when left left to chill for the full 24 hours, so you might want to start with a small amount of garlic and add in more the following day if desired --- this is a dip I created years ago and still serve it today at get togethers it is the first to completey go so I always make a double batch --- gorgonzola cheese can be replaced with blue cheese for a milder flavor --- plan ahead this dip needs to chill 8-24 hours before using, you may adjust all ingredients to taste, if you prefer a more creamy dip increase the sour cream slightly, but start with the stated amounts, you will love this dip! :)

Steps:
- For the wings: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Combine the wings, vinegar, salt, sugar and chile in a large pot. Cover with water and bring to a boil. Once at a boil, remove from the heat, strain the wings and pat them dry. Place the wings on a baking sheet. Bake until the wings are dry, about 15 minutes.
- While the wings bake, fill a large, deep pot with 3 inches of oil. Place over medium-high heat and bring to 350 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Working in batches, fry the wings until crispy and cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes per batch, raising or lowering the heat as necessary to keep the oil at temperature. Drain the wings on a wire rack set over a sheet pan.
- Meanwhile, combine the garlic and olive oil in a medium saucepan. Place over medium heat until the oil just simmers. Cover the pan, adjust the heat and simmer until the garlic is tender, about 15 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then transfer the oil and garlic to a blender and blend until smooth. Add the hot sauce and pulse until combined. Add a little water if necessary so the mixture is about as thick as syrup. Pour the sauce into a very large bowl. Add the wings and toss to coat.
- For the chow-chow: Combine the celery, carrots, vinegar, sugar and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from the heat and let cool. Drain.
- For the dip: Combine the blue cheese, yogurt, mayonnaise, pepper and celery salt in a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Serve the wings with the dip and chow-chow on the side.

Steps:
- 1. Put garlic in hot bacon grease and cook for about 1 minute. Remove.
- 2. Preheat oven to 350.
- 3. Put cream cheese and half and half in a medium bowl and beat until blended. Stir in bacon, garlic, blue cheese, and chives.
- 4. Bake, covered, for 30 minutes.
Tips:
- Use high-quality blue cheese: The type of blue cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your dip. Look for a blue cheese that is creamy and flavorful, with a strong but not overpowering aroma.
- Let the blue cheese come to room temperature before using: This will help the cheese to soften and blend more easily with the other ingredients.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is the base of this dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand that is made with real eggs.
- Add some minced garlic: Garlic is a classic flavor pairing with blue cheese, and it adds a nice savory note to the dip.
- Don't overmix the dip: Overmixing can make the dip runny and loose. Stir the ingredients together just until they are combined.
- Serve the dip chilled: This dip is best served chilled, so make it ahead of time and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish the dip with crumbled blue cheese and chopped chives: This will add a nice finishing touch to the dip and make it look more appealing.
Conclusion:
This blue cheese garlic dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It's creamy, flavorful, and packed with umami. Serve it with your favorite crackers, chips, or vegetables for a snack or appetizer that everyone will love.
