     Title: Baked Buffalo Wings
Categories: Poultry, Cheese
     Yield: 4 Servings

MMMMM----------------------BLEU CHEESE DIP---------------------------
     3 oz Bleu cheese; crumbled
   1/4 c  Mayonnaise
   1/4 c  Sour cream
     1 tb Fresh lemon juice or apple
          - cider vinegar
     1 tb Milk or buttermilk;
          - up to 3 tb, to taste
          Salt & black pepper

MMMMM-----------------------CHICKEN WINGS----------------------------
     3 lb Chicken wings; any
          - combination of drumettes &
          - wingettes
     1 tb Baking powder
          Salt & black pepper
   1/3 c  Frank's Buffalo-style hot
          - sauce
     3 tb Unsalted butter; melted
     2 tb Fresh lemon juice
     2 ts Garlic; minced

 Make The Blue Cheese Dip:

 In a small bowl, stir together blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream,
 and lemon juice. Thin with milk until spoonable. Season with salt
 and pepper and set aside. (Dip keeps for up to 4 days in the
 refrigerator; thin as needed with more milk.)

 Place an oven rack 4" to 6" from the broiler. Heat the broiler.

 Prepare The Chicken:

 Pat the wings dry. If the wings are not yet broken down into
 3 pieces, cut each wing at the two joints. To do so, flip the wing
 over and wiggle each part to find the joint. Cut at the joint hinge
 to separate the meaty drumette from the wingette (also known as the
 flat) and the wingette from the smaller wing tip.

 In a large bowl, toss the baking powder with 1 tb kosher salt. Add
 the wings and toss until evenly coated. Spread the wings in an even
 layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. (To prepare them in advance and
 allow them to dry-brine, let the wings sit out at room temperature
 for up to 1 hour after coating, or in the refrigerator overnight.
 Let them come to room temperature before proceeding.)

 Broil the wings in the oven until golden and crisp all over,
 turning halfway through, about 15 minutes per side.

 As wings cook, make the buffalo sauce: In a large bowl, stir
 together the hot sauce, butter, lemon juice, and garlic. Season to
 taste with salt and pepper.

 Transfer the wings to the hot sauce-mixture and toss to coat. Using
 a slotted spoon, return the wings to the baking sheet, leaving
 extra sauce behind. Broil until sizzling and browned in spots,
 about 5 minutes. (Depending on your broiler, you may need to rotate
 the pan so all the food is exposed to the heat source.)

 Serve with extra buffalo sauce and the blue cheese dip.
