Fiery Bourbon Chicken Wings With Blue Cheese Dip

Fiery Bourbon Chicken Wings With Blue Cheese Dip

Marinate the chicken in the sauce for a few hours or overnight if you have time.

  • Serves: 4
  • Preparation time: 5 minutes, plus marinating time
  • Cooking time: about 40 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 kg chicken wings
  • 250 ml bottle Newman's Own Fiery Bourbon BBQ Sauce

For the dip:

  • 125 g soft cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons Newman's Own Blue Cheese Dressing
  • 2 spring onions, chopped

Selection of crudités to serve, such as peppers, carrots and celery

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C, Gas Mark 6.
  2. Place the wings in a shallow roasting tin and pour over the sauce, turn to evenly coat the chicken in the sauce. You can do this a few hours before or overnight in the fridge, so the chicken marinates in the sauce if you have time.
  3. Cook in the oven for 20 minutes, then remove from the oven, turn over the wings and baste with the sauce.
  4. Return to the oven and cook for a further 20 minutes, until the wings are sticky and slightly charred. If you prefer you can remove the wings from the oven 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time and place on a hot barbecue for 5 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile in a bowl, beat together the cream cheese with the blue cheese dressing and most of the spring onions. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with the remaining spring onions.
  6. Arrange the chicken wings on a large platter and serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce and crudités.
