    Introduction

    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.

    My Rating

    My rating system. Great 5 out of 5

    And what did you think it was going to rate.

    ❄️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 good refrigerated for 3-4 days. I would not freeze.

    Pro Tips

    1. Remember that for food safety, your dip 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.
    2. To keep the dip out longer, it needs to be under 40°, so an ice bath for the container is a good solution.
    3. This should be good refrigerated for 3-4 days. I would not freeze.

    To adjust the recipe size:

    You may adjust the number of servings in this recipe card under servings. This does the math for the ingredients for you. BUT it does NOT adjust the text of the instructions. So you need to do that yourself.
