Bobby Flay's Hot Wings With Blue Cheese-Yogurt Sauce

"Bobby made a surprise visit to Buffalo's Anchor Bar, the legendary birthplace of Buffalo wings in 2007. He was armed with this recipe and ready for a throwdown. His opponent, Buffalo's "Wing King" Drew Cerza, kept his title, but Bobby's smoky chipotle wings gave Cerza a run for his money. This recipe is from the January/February 2010 Food Network Magazine."

directions

  • Make the sauce: Combine the yogurt, blue cheese, red onion, cilantro and salt and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Make the wings: Heat 2 inches of peanut oil in a large high-sided pan until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375°.
  • Stir together the flour, salt and pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder and he garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Season the wings with salt an pepper and add in batches to the flour mixture to lightly coat. Tap off the excess flour, add the wings to the oil in batches and fry until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Bring the vinegar, chipotle puree, the remaining 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder and the chili powder to a simmer in a large high-sided saute pan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and whisk in the mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, the honey and butter until smooth. Add the wings and toss to coat.

  1. Bobby Flay, marry me and let's have lots of hot wing babies. Made for A-NZ #43 Recipe Tag.
     
  2. Oh boy, were these ever good. The guys are used to a standard hot sauce, so I was interested in seeing how they would like Bobby Flay's version. I made mine separately, adding quite a bit of blue cheese, and made theirs with the proportion of blue cheese listed in the recipe. They really liked it -- we especially liked the taste that the grated red onions gave to the sauce. I couldn't find ancho chile powder at my store and was going to sub regular chili powder, but then I tried a different supermarket and they had the ancho chile powder. There is a HUGE difference in taste between the two (yes, I tasted a little bit of each); the ancho chile powder really makes the taste of the sauce stand out. Thank you for sharing this delicious version of chicken wings.

<p>Update: &nbsp;I have changed my profile picture in honor of my dear best friend and loyal companion that I lost to cancer on 6/25/11. Maxx was the best dog that anyone could ever hope to have in their life. &nbsp;Until we meet again, sweet boy, you will be forever in my heart and memories. I currently live in the country with two dogs (a 12 pound&nbsp;poodle mix&nbsp;named Suki and a new member to the family, a 7-month old(?) 7.5 pound terrier mix named Angel ). &nbsp; I got Angel from the dog pound a week after I lost my beloved Maxx. &nbsp;Suki and I both needed a new companion to help us cope with our loss. &nbsp;Nothing will ever replace Maxx, but she has helped to uplift Suki's spirit. I am a secretary for a county school board. I love to cook, bake, crochet, paint, sew, read and anything to do with crafts. I was born in Tokyo,Japan. My father was in the Air Force and my moher was Japanese. I love to cook (and eat) a variety of foods from many different nations. I especially like trying out new recipes and experimenting with both old and new recipes. I also love participating in the great Zaar events like the tag games, recipe swaps, and Zaar World Tours. I recently participated in my first RSC contest. I have definitely had a lot of fun since joining Recipezaar. Update - September 20, 2007 I am proud to announce that I have just been blessed with my first grandchild. My son and daughter-in-law have given me a beautiful little granddaughter. &nbsp;[URL=http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/?action=view&curren;t=f6fd3ae3.pbw][IMG]http://s183.photobucket.com/albums/x147/Crafty_Lady_13/th_102_0365-1.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Make Reservation Online Create your own visitor map *************************************************** [Reply]</p>
