BBQ Chicken Wings with Blue Cheese Butter
Recipe courtesy of Geoffrey Zakarian
Total Time:
1 hr 5 min
Prep:
40 min
Cook:
25 min
Yield:4
Level:Easy
Ingredients
1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature
6 ounces Roquefort or other blue cheese, crumbled, room temperature
1/2 cup your favorite BBQ sauce
1/2 cup canned piquillo peppers in brine, drained well
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons smoked paprika
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 1/2 pounds chicken wings, separated at the joint, tips reserved for another use
Canola oil, for frying
Directions
In a medium bowl, whisk together the butter and 4 ounces of the blue cheese until very smooth. Transfer to a serving bowl and set aside at room temperature.
In a blender, puree the BBQ sauce, peppers, 1 teaspoon of the cumin and 1 teaspoon of the paprika until smooth. Pour into a large mixing bowl large enough to hold all of the wings.
In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, remaining cumin and paprika, and season it with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the wings with salt and pepper. Fill a deep, heavy pot with 6 inches of oil and heat to 365 degrees F, or preheat a deep fryer.
Toss the chicken wings in the seasoned flour until well coated, shaking off the excess flour. Fry in batches until golden brown, crisp and cooked through, about 13 minutes. Drain briefly on paper towels before adding them to the sauce and tossing them to coat while they are still hot.
Transfer the wings to a serving platter. Dollop a little of the blue cheese butter on top of the wings to melt; serve the rest on the side for dipping. Sprinkle the remaining blue cheese over the top and serve immediately.
