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.

BUFFALO CHICKEN WINGS WITH BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
This is an iconic dish. It's Americana. It never gets old. No matter how much you make, there is rarely much leftover. There is no game day without these types of wings. The important thing for me is the fresh and powdered garlic combination in the dressing. You definitely need both. Make the dressing the night before for even better flavors. I like to serve this with sliced cucumbers, carrots and whole romaine spears to dunk in the dressing. I often double this dressing recipe, too, because you need more than you think...

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, mayonnaise and buttermilk with the blue cheese, minced garlic, Worcestershire, the 1 tablespoon vinegar, hot sauce, garlic powder and a generous pinch of salt. Taste for seasoning. Add more vinegar if it needs additional acidity. Add more salt, if necessary. Add a splash of water, if necessary, to loosen the dressing or if the flavors are too intense. Set aside.
- Make the Buffalo sauce: Melt the butter with the garlic in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the hot sauce. Keep warm.
- Prepare the wings: Pour the oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Prepare 2 rimmed baking sheets, one lined with a wire rack. In a large bowl, combine the flour and cornstarch. Separate the larger wings from the smaller ones. Season all of them with salt and toss in the flour mix. Shake off the excess.
- Fry the wings: Lower half of the larger wings into the oil and gently "swirl" the oil with a slotted spoon as they fry. This swirling will assure the wings fry more evenly on all sides. When they are light to medium brown, 5 to 7 minutes, remove them with the slotted spoon and lay them out on the wire rack. Season with salt. Cook the rest of the wings in batches, keeping the fried wings warm on the second baking sheet in the oven until all are cooked. Leave the wings in the oven for at least 10 minutes to assure all are cooked through.
- Toss the wings in a large bowl with all of the Buffalo sauce. Serve on a large platter with the blue cheese dressing and vegetables on the side.

COLD BUFFALO CHICKEN DIP
One of the best flavor combos there is... a Buffalo chicken wing dipped in blue cheese dressing, all incorporated into a tasty dip. Incredibly easy and addicting, takes 15 minutes, and served cold as opposed to the slow cooker recipes. I always have it with tortilla chips. The bacon and jalapeno are great additions, but I suggest trying the original recipe first.

Tips:
- To achieve crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before frying or baking. This will help remove excess moisture and promote even cooking.
- Use a deep fryer or large pot with high sides for frying the wings. This will prevent splattering and ensure the wings are submerged in oil.
- Maintain the oil temperature between 350°F (175°C) and 375°F (190°C) for frying. Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature accurately.
- Fry the wings in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking. Cook them for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- For baking, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the wings for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
- Make the buffalo sauce by combining melted butter, hot sauce, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your desired level of spiciness.
- Serve the wings immediately with the buffalo sauce and blue cheese dip. Garnish with celery sticks, carrot sticks, and ranch dressing for a classic buffalo wings experience.
