SPICY GARLIC CHICKEN WINGS WITH CHOW CHOW AND BLUE CHEESE DIP

Time 1h
Yield 4 to 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 19
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.

SPICY CREAM CHEESE AND SHRIMP DIP
This is a great recipe for parties and family gatherings. You can make it as spicy as you like, by changing the type of salsa you use. The best salsa to use is one that is chunky. I serve my dip with corn chips. I got the idea by attending a party where salsa was simply poured over blocks of cream cheese.

Steps:

- In a large bowl, mix the eggs and milk; then add the flour and baking powder and mix thoroughly with a hand-held mixer. Strain the mixture to remove any lumps.

Cut the onions into thick slabs, dunk them in the batter, and fry them, in batches, in the oil until golden brown. Serve the onion rings with the Blue Cheese Dip, sliced carrot, and celery.
- In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve the sauce in a side bowl for dipping.
WICKED SPICY CROCK POT CHEESE DIP
I used to go to a friends house on sundays to watch football, and every time I would make a different chip dip in the crock pot. Eventually this one was requested every week! It's pretty spicy. If you want it a little more mild, I suggest using less of the spicy ingredients (regular sausage, regular rotel, minimal peppers) rather than excluding them entirely. All ingredients combine to MAKE the cheese dip :) I use the maximum amount of each ingredient I have listed.

Steps:
- Start browning the sausage in a skillet, breaking it into small pieces as you would for tacos.
- Cut the cheese into cubes and throw them in the crock pot with the 2 cans of DRAINED Hot Rotel. You can go ahead and turn it on to get the melting process started.
- When the sausage is fully cooked, drain the fat and add it to the crock pot.
- Prepare yourself and your kitchen for cutting hot chillis/peppers. You do not want to touch anything that you dont need to, ESPECIALLY the cover to the crock pot, because it will get on everyone so just leave it off. Wash your hands several times afterwards.
- Chop/dice the jalapenos fairly well, and the habeneros VERY well. Add to crock pot. As long as you leave about 2 hours for the peppers to cook in the cheese, the actual pepper pieces will not be much spicier than the dip itself.
- Stir occasionally, and implement step 7 as needed.
- The salsa is a trick I use for any cheese dip. Because you've used fresh peppers and drained the rotel, the dip will be thick. The salsas primary role is thickness control. You can always thin out a dip, but it takes a long time to thicken one out. Just add a spoon full at a time until it's just right. After it sits out for a while it might need more.
- Throw in something new and let me know! I think some beans would go in nicely, or some chili.
SPICY NACHO CHEESE DIP
Steps:
- In a heavy large pot, melt butter on medium heat. Put in garlic and shallots and one half of the diced habanero peppers and sauté for about 3-5 minutes or until tender. Wisk in half and half and slowly bring to a boil (stirring often). Mix corn starch with cold water so it is dissolved and then slowly whisk in to the milk sauce base to thicken the mixture. Return the mixture to a boil. Slowly stir in cream cheese until melted. Add cheddar and pepper jack and stir until melted. Add Chili, Jalapeños, Red Peppers, Green chilies and the other half of the habanero peppers. Mix together and let simmer for 5 minutes for the ingredients to get to know each other. Transfer contents to keep dip hot. Serve with tortilla chips. Alternately, you can add Franks Hot sauce (or your favorite hot brand) to spice up the mixture a bit, although it is plenty spicy without it.

SPICY CHEESE DIP
Steps:
- Puree stewed tomato juice only, garlic and 2 jalapenos in a blender or processor. Finely chop the onion, 1 jalapeno, 2 to 3 tablespoons of cilantro and 4 to 6 Roma tomatoes. Roughly chop the stewed tomatoes. Mix all these ingredients in a large bowl. Season with kosher salt, fresh ground pepper and lime juice.;
- Cook the ground beef, onion, jalapenos, garlic and dash of salt and pepper. Drain excess fat in a small bowl. Add the beef mixture to slow cooker and put on medium setting. Keep hot. Add cubes of cheese, cream of mushroom soup and milk and stir. Next add 2 cups of the salsa mixture to the cheese mixture. Can be kept warm for 1/2 hour or longer. Serve with chips.
Tips:
- Choose the right cheese. The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor and texture of your dip. For a classic nacho cheese dip, use a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses. If you want a spicy dip, add in some pepper jack or jalapeño cheese. For a creamy dip, use a combination of cream cheese and sour cream.
- Shred your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese is often coated with cellulose, which can prevent it from melting smoothly. Shredding your own cheese ensures that it will melt evenly and create a smooth, creamy dip.
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients you use, the better your dip will taste. Use fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices whenever possible.
- Don't overcook the dip. Overcooking the dip can cause the cheese to become rubbery and tough. Cook the dip until it is just melted and bubbly.
- Serve the dip immediately. Cheese dip is best served immediately after it is made. The longer it sits, the more likely it is to become thick and congealed.
Conclusion:
With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find a cheese dip that everyone will love. Whether you're looking for a classic nacho cheese dip, a spicy jalapeño dip, or a creamy spinach artichoke dip, there's a recipe out there for you.
