Prep Time- 10 minutes
Cook time 35 minutes
2 pounds of chicken wings, tips

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place wings in a large pot, fill with water

minutes. Drain, and then pat dry with
paper towels.
Line two baking sheets with

bottom. Turn and bake for 5 minutes
more.
Meanwhile, combine hot sauce,
butter, honey and ½ tsp. vinegar in a large bowl and set aside.
In a medium bowl, roughly mash
blue cheese with a fork. Whisk in
remaining vinegar, buttermilk, sour cream, sugar, kosher salt, and pepper
Toss warm wings with sauce until
well coated. Transfer with tongs to a
platter. Serve with celery/carrot sticks
if desired.
