Sweet heat chicken wings

1 batch

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 slices Bacon
2 tablespoons Onion -- finely chopped
1 Clove garlic -- minced
Salt and pepper
6 ounces Blue cheese -- crumbled
⅔ cup Yogurt or sour cream
½ cup Milk
Oil for frying
24 Chicken wings (about 4
Pounds)
4 tablespoons Butter -- melted
½ cup Durkee Red Hot Sauce
¼ cup Honey

Directions

For the dressing, cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until barely crisp. Remove bacon, drain, crumble and reserve. Add the onion to the bacon fat and cook just until onion has softened, about 30 seconds. Remove from heat and transfer the onion and bacon fat to a mixing bowl. Stir in the garlic, salt, pepper, blue cheese, yogurt or sour cream and milk. Mix until well blended and stir in the crumbled bacon. Set aside. Heat 2 to 3" of oil in a fryer or deep heavy saucepan to 375. Fry the wings in 2 or 3 batches without overcrowding until golden brown and cooked through, about 8 minutes per batch. Drain the wings on paper towels and keep warm while you fry the remaining wings. While the wings are frying, combine the butter, oil, hot sauce and honey. Stir to mix thoroughly. Just before serving, mix the sauce again, toss the cooked wings in ¾ cup of the sauce, and serve with 1¼ cups of the blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping. Reserve 1 cup bacon blue cheese dressing for Crocked Blue Cheee Potatoes and Ham. Reserve ½ cup sweet hot sauce for Stir Fried Red Hot Shrimp. Reserve ½ cup sweet hot sauce for Grilled Buffalo Burgers.
