This is a special sauce. Your special wings deserve a very special sauce. Just say no to using blue cheese salad dressing for dipping.

This is a companion post to my Crispy Baked Buffalo Chicken Wings post. I like to break my sauces and spice mix out to separate posts for other uses.

Most recipes are a combination of sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese crumbs, and some spices. They all seem to have either diced green onion or lemon. I went with the lemon that I felt complimented the blue cheese better. I also added garlic for wifo.

This is an easy, great-tasting sauce for not only chicken wings but veggies. Also, try it on your next burger. My wife gives it 2 thumbs up.

❄️Storage

First, remember that for food safety, your sauce can not set out for more than two hours at room temperature. Or 1 hour if the temperature is over 90°. So if you reach those limits, dump it.

To keep the dip out longer, it needs to be under 40°, so an ice bath for the container is a good solution.

This should be a good refrigerated for 3-4 days. I would not freeze.

Add 1/2 cup blue cheese crumbs to a mixing bowl. If they are large, then break them up with a fork.

Add 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, two teaspoon milk and two teaspoon lemon juice.  Mix well.
