If you’re a fan of the classic Buffalo wings and onion rings appetizer combo, then you simply cannot serve it without a delicious, rich blue cheese dip. This recipe is perfect for all blue cheese lovers out there, as it features a creamy and tangy dip that pairs perfectly with the crispy wings and rings.
Blue Cheese Dip Recipe
Start by assembling the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Pinch of salt
In a medium bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix well until fully incorporated. Adjust the seasoning to your liking and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving. This will allow the flavors to fully develop and the dip to thicken.
Wings and Rings Recipe
For the wings and rings, you will need:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3/4 cup beer
- 1 large onion, cut into rings
- 1 pound chicken wings
- Oil for frying
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Slowly add the beer and mix until you have a smooth batter.
Next, heat oil in a deep pan until it is hot. Working in batches, coat the onion rings and chicken wings in the batter and gently drop them into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
When you’re ready to serve, arrange the wings and rings on a platter alongside the blue cheese dip. Serve hot and enjoy!
