Buffalo Wings with Gorgonzola Dipping Sauce

Ingredients:

Dipping Sauce:

• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 1 (1-oz) pkg ranch dressing and seasoning mix
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Wings:

• 3 lbs chicken wings
• 1/4 cup rice flour
• 1/2 cup cayenne pepper hot sauce, room temperature
• 1/2 cup butter, melted

Preparation:

• To prepare the dipping sauce, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, buttermilk, ranch dressing mix, and lemon juice in a small mixing bowl. Fold in the Gorgonzola and refrigerate until ready to serve.



• To prepare the wings, heat up oil in a deep fryer or a Dutch oven to 375°F.



• In a large mixing bowl, toss the wings with the rice flour until coated.



• In 2 batches, fry the wings in the preheated oil for 10–12 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the wing reaches 165°F. Transfer them onto a baking sheet lined with paper towels to sop up any excess oil.



• While the wings are frying, whisk together the hot sauce and butter in a mixing bowl large enough to toss the wings in.



• Once both batches are complete, put the wings into the mixing bowl with the hot sauce mixture. Toss until coated and serve with the prepared dipping sauce.
