Recipe Note

Variations & Ideas:

Here are 3 sauce recipes I came up with that go great with these wings. Sauce is definitely a food group in our household and it’s great to have them around for other uses also.

Bernise Blue Cheese: A basic blue cheese dressing with the bright herbal flavors of tarragon. Also, fantastic on a wedge salad. 

• 4 tsp white wine vinegar
• 1/3 cup milk
• 6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
• 1/3 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp granulated white sugar or honey
• 1 tsp Bernise
• Pinch of salt

1. In a medium bowl mix the milk and vinegar. Let sit for 5 minutes then stir well. Add crumbled blue cheese to mixture, and mash with a fork until well combined. Add the remaining ingredients, stir well, then adjust seasoning to your tastes.

Buffalo Wing Sauce: Pretty close to the classic recipe. I add Amber N2 for a rounder flavor and to add a light sweetness. Also great with roasted cauliflower or potatoes.

• 2/3 cup hot sauce (I like Crystal Hot Sauce for this)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
• 2 tsp Amber N2

1. Add all ingredients to a small sauce pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter is melted and well incorporated. Adjust to your tastes with additional heat, acid, or salt.

Shabazi Green Goddish: Loosely based on green goddess dressing, this bright and creamy sauce is also great with fish, over potatoes, or on salads.

• 1 small ripe avocado, pitted, peeled, and chopped
• 1/2 cup greek yogurt or labne
• 2 scallions, chopped
• 1 cup fresh herbs (cilantro, parsley, dill, any that you like in any combination), chopped
• 2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2-3 tsp Shabazi N38
• Salt, to taste

1. Mix all ingredients together in a food processor, or if you want to make it by hand finely chop all solid ingredients and mix with a whisk (this will be a bit chunkier of a sauce). Thin with water if necessary. For a richer sauce add a couple tablespoons of Japanese mayonnaise. You can also sub mayo for yogurt for a dairy-free sauce.
