Chinese BBQ wings with blue cheese dip

You might not think that blue cheese and BBQ wings go together, but you'd be wrong!

• Serves: 6

What you need:

For the wings:

• 1Kg Chicken wings
• 1 jar Blue Dragon Chinese BBQ Sticky Sauce
• 1tbsp sesame seeds (toasted until golden in a dry frying pan)
• 1 bunch spring onions, sliced diagonally (reserve the green part for the dip)
• 1 bag of mixed salad (we like spinach, rocket and watercress)

For the dip:

• 6 tbsp mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp soured cream
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 3tbsp spring onion tops, sliced very thinly
• 50g Stilton (or other blue cheese), crumbled salt and pepper , to taste.

What you do:

1. Marinate the wings with a whole jar of Blue Dragon BBQ Sticky Sauce in a resealable plastic bag, and leave to marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour.
2. Meanwhile, prepare the dip. Mix the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, Stilton and spring onion tops together. Season to taste. Place the dip in a small bowl and refrigerate until needed.
3. When the wings are ready, remove from the bag and place on a baking tray, in a pre-heated oven at 200° C/ 400° F/ Gas 6 for 35-40 minutes, basting with any extra sauce until tender.
4. When cooked through, arrange on a platter over a bed of mixed leaves. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and spring onion pieces and with the blue cheese dip.

Cook's tip:

Use a milder blue cheese such as St Agur for a more mellow flavoured dip.
