Blue Cheese Dip

  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt or mayo

Instructions
 

  • Clean and pat dry the chicken wings. Mix the marinade ingredients in a medium bowl. Add the chicken wings and mix well. Cover and let it marinate for 1 hr. up to 24 hrs.
  • Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the chicken wings on a lined sheet pan on top of a wire wrack that is sprayed with cooking spray. Bake for 60 minutes and turn to broil for a few minutes for charcoal color. Put into a bowl and add the melted ghee or butter or olive oil, lime juice, the 1 tsp of tandoori twist, and cilantro. Serve on a platter with the blue cheese dipping sauce.

Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce

  • Place all ingredients in a blender, food processor, or use an immersion blender to blend mixture still leaving the sauce a bit chunky. Can be made a few days in advance.

Air Fryer Method

  • Preheat the air fryer for 2 minutes at 375°F. Place the chicken wings in a single layer. Cook for 22 to 25 minutes, removing the basket and shaking it twice in between, about every 8 minutes. Now increase the heat to 400°F and cook for 2 to 4 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
