Categories     Chicken     Appetizer

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (recommended: Cabrales)
2 tablespoons finely grated red onion
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the Hot Wings:
Peanut oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons ancho chili powder, plus 2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 pounds chicken wings split at the joint, wing tips removed and discarded
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 to 2 tablespoons pureed chipotle chile in adobo
1 tablespoon New Mexico chili powder
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon salt
1 to 2 tablespoons honey
1 stick unsalted butter, quartered
Finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
Jicama sticks (instead of celery)

Steps:

  • Heat 2-inches of the oil in a large, high-sided pan until it reaches 375 degrees F on a deep-fry thermometer. Stir together the flour, salt, pepper, to taste, 2 teaspoons ancho chili powder and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Season the wings with salt and pepper and add the wings in batches to the flour mixture to lightly coat and tap off excess flour. Add the wings in batches and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a plate lined with paper towels. Bring the vinegar, chipotle puree, 2 tablespoons chili powder and New Mexico chili powder to a simmer in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Remove the mixture from the heat and whisk in the mustard, salt, honey, and butter until smooth. Add the wings to the mixture and toss to coat. Garnish with cilantro and serve with jicama sticks and blue cheese sauce. Next Recipe

Not a fan of the yogurt sauce. I'd rather have traditional blue cheese.

The blue cheese yogurt sauce is the perfect complement to the spicy wings. It's creamy and tangy, and it helps to cool down the heat.

The chicken was cooked perfectly. There was nothing worse than dry chicken. It's a no from me.

I loved the combination of flavors in this dish. The sweetness of the honey, the spiciness of the cayenne pepper, and the creaminess of the yogurt sauce all came together perfectly.

The yogurt sauce was a nice twist on the classic blue cheese dressing. It was light and refreshing, and it paired perfectly with the spicy wings.
