🍗 How To Make Bobby Flay Chicken Wing

Mix yogurt, blue cheese, red onion, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors blend.
Fill a large high-sided pan with 2 inches of peanut oil. Heat until the temperature reaches 375°F.
In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, 1 tablespoon ancho chili powder, and garlic powder.
Season the wings with salt and pepper, then coat them in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess flour.
Fry the wings in batches in the hot oil for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper-towel-lined plate.
In a large sauté pan, simmer vinegar, chipotle puree, 2 tablespoons ancho chili powder, and New Mexico chili powder over medium heat. Remove from heat, then whisk in mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, honey, and butter until smooth.
Toss the fried wings in the prepared sauce until they are evenly coated. Garnish with cilantro if desired. Serve with jicama sticks and blue cheese sauce.

💭 Recipe Tips

Fry in Batches: Don’t overcrowd the pan. Fry the wings in small batches to ensure they cook evenly and stay crispy.
Adjust the Spice: For a milder sauce, start with less chipotle puree and chili powders. You can always add more if you like it spicier.
Smooth Sauce: If the sauce is too thick, thin it out with a splash of red wine vinegar or water. Add gradually and whisk well.
