Recipe
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 3/4 cup of the sauce, and serve
with 1 1/4 cups of the blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
Reserve 1 cup bacon blue cheese dressing for Crocked Blue Cheese Potatoes
and Ham. Reserve 1/2 cup sweet hot sauce for Stir Fried Red Hot Shrimp.
Reserve 1/2 cup sweet hot sauce for Grilled Buffalo Burgers
