Steps
Steps
- 1Pat the wings very dry with kitchen paper and toss them with the baking powder and salt. The baking powder makes the skin less acidic, so it browns and blisters like deep-fried skin.
- 2Spread the wings skin side up on a wire rack set over a lined tray, not touching, and chill them uncovered for 1 hour if you have time.
- 3Bake at 120°C for 30 minutes to render the fat, then raise the oven to 220°C and bake for 40–45 minutes more, until deep golden and crisp.
- 4Meanwhile, mash the blue cheese with the soured cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice and black pepper, leaving a few lumps, and chill the dip.
- 5Melt the butter in a small pan, whisk in the hot sauce and garlic powder and keep it warm without letting it boil, or the sauce will split.
- 6Tip the hot wings into a large bowl, pour over the sauce and toss until every piece is glossy.
- 7Cut the celery into sticks and serve the wings at once with the dip and the celery.
