Super Bowl Recipe - Buffalo "Rally" Wings & Chunky Blue Cheese

My mom swears by this Buffalo Wing recipe. It's a variation of a recipe by Ina Garten. Sadly, these would have made fantastic "rally wings" for the Patriots.

Ingredients:

For the wings:

• 16 Chicken Wings (approximately 3 pounds)
• 1/4 pound Unsalted Butter
• 1 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
• 4 teaspoons Youk's Hot Sauce (preferably from an autographed bottle) or Tabasco
  
• 1 teaspoon sea salt

For the Blue Cheese Dip:

• 2 cups crumbled Blue Cheese
• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 2 tablespoons non-fat milk
• 3/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons sea salt
• 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Fresh Celery sticks

Preparation:
Preheat oven broiler. Cut the chicken wings in thirds, slicing between the bones. Melt the butter and add the cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and sea salt. Place the chicken wings on a sheet pan and brush them with the melted butter. Broil them about 3 inches below the heat for 8 minutes. Flip the wings, brush them again with the butter, and broil for 4 more minutes, or until cooked.

For the blue cheese dip, combine blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, milk, Worcestershire, sea salt, and gound black pepper in a bowl and stir.

Serve the chicken wings hot with the blue cheese dip and celery sticks.
