Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings

Ingredients

• 1 cup cheese blue crumbled
• 1.5 teaspoons cayenne 
• 8 ribs celery cut into sticks
• 4 pounds chicken wings 
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil 
• 4 cloves garlic chopped
• 0.3 teaspoon fresh-ground pepper black
• 0.3 cup catsup 
• 0.7 cup mayonnaise 
• 1.8 teaspoons salt 
• 2  scallions including tops green chopped
• 0.3 cup cup heavy whipping cream sour
• 1 tablespoon all the tabasco sauce you handle 
• 5 teaspoons vinegar 

Equipment

• bowl
• baking sheet
• oven

Directions

1. Heat the oven to 42
2. In a large bowl, combine the wings, oil, garlic, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt, and the cayenne. Arrange the wings in a single layer on two large baking sheets.
3. Bake until just done, about 25 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, in a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, scallions, 1 teaspoon of the vinegar, the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper.
5. In a large bowl, combine the ketchup, the remaining 4 teaspoons vinegar, and the Tabasco sauce.
6. Add the wings and toss to coat.
7. Serve the wings with the celery sticks and blue-cheese dressing alongside.
8. Menu Suggestions: Pair these wings with more finger food. Corn on the cob would go nicely. Roasted potato wedges are a good alternative and can be cooked alongside the wings.
9. Wine Recommendation: Beer is a no-brainer with the salt, spice, and heat of this barfly classic. For a more festive alternative, serve a crisp sparkling wine; it will refresh the palate and tame the heat of the dish.
