¼ cup crumbled blue cheese

Buffalo Sauce
⅔ cup Tapatio hot sauce

¼ tsp cayenne pepper
⅛ tsp garlic powder

Tools 
Baking sheet
Medium bowl 
Saucepan

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Position an oven rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat to 450°F. 
  2. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, oil, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. 
  3. Arrange the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes.
  4. To make the blue cheese dipping sauce: In a small bowl, mash the sour cream and cream cheese with a fork; season with salt. Stir in the blue cheese and 1 tablespoon water. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  5. For the Buffalo sauce: Put all the ingredients in a pan and set over medium heat until it starts to boil, making sure to stir regularly. 
  6. Remove from the stove, let it cool down for a little bit and then cover the wings. The best way is to transfer to a plastic bag, put in the wings and shake.
