Instructions
Turn on your broiler.
Line a baking sheet with foil.
Cut the wings apart into thirds so that you have a wing and drumette and a wing tip. Discard the wing tips. Lay the wings and drumettes on the prepared baking sheet.
Add the cayenne, hot sauce and salt to the melted butter and stir to combine.
Brush each wing with the butter mixture.
Time to broil the wings. Set the baking sheet about 3 inches from the heat. Broil for about 8 minutes.
Flip each wing and brush the other side with the melted butter sauce and broil for about 4 minutes more or until done.
Process all the ingredients for the Blue Cheese Dip in a food processor or blender or with an immersion blender and mix until almost smooth.
The wings can be enjoyed either warm or at room temperature. Add fresh cut veggies to your tray with the wings and dip and Enjoy!
