The cool blue cheese & soured cream dip takes the edge off the heat in the sauce. Dip in the chicken wings or the celery and radishes - or do both!

Yield makes 40

Number Of Ingredients 18

1kg whole chicken wings
2 tbsp olive oil
4 celery sticks , each cut into 4 small sticks (keep some with their leaves)
bunch French breakfast radishes (with their leaves if you can get them)
150ml tomato ketchup
100ml cider vinegar
100ml bourbon
4 tbsp dark brown sugar
2 tbsp hot chilli sauce
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp ground coriander
1 tsp ground paprika
1 tbsp butter
100g gorgonzola
150ml soured cream
50g mayonnaise
good squeeze lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/ gas 7. Cut the chicken wings into winglets by slicing through each of the joints. Keep the two meaty pieces and discard the wing tips, or freeze for stock.
  • Put the winglets on a large baking sheet, drizzle with the olive oil, then season. Roast in the oven for 20 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and cook for a further 25 mins.
  • Meanwhile, make the barbecue sauce. Put all the ingredients, except the butter, in a pan and mix together with plenty of black pepper. Let it bubble away for 3-5 mins to thicken up a little, then add the butter and stir until it has melted and made the sauce nice and shiny. Season to taste.
  • Half an hour before the chicken wings are ready, take them out of the oven and brush over three-quarters of the barbecue sauce. When they're fully cooked, toss them in the rest of the sauce so that they become sticky.
  • In a small bowl, mash the blue cheese dressing ingredients together with some seasoning, until combined. The barbecue sauce and dip can be made a day ahead, covered and chilled. Serve alongside the wings with the celery sticks and radishes for dipping.
