Broiled Buffalo Wings

Ingredients:

2 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint

? cup cayenne pepper sauce, preferably Frank?s Red Hot,?plus more for serving

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

3 tablespoons low-sodium chicken broth

3 large celery ribs, cut into sticks

1 recipe Blue Cheese Dip

Directions:

Preheat Broiler.

Place the wings in a large pot and fill the pot with water to cover by about 2 inches.? Bring to a boil, then continue to boil for 10 minutes. Drain.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the cayenne pepper sauce, lemon juice, and broth. Reserve.

Transfer the wings to a broiler pan and broil 5 to inches from the flame, until the skin begins to blister and brown, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the wings over and broil 4 to 5 minutes more.

Transfer the wings to a baking sheet, drizzle with the reserved sauce, and toss well to coat. Place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1 minute to heat the wings and sauce together.

Serve with extra hot sauce on the side, celery sticks, and the blue cheese dip.

Blue Cheese Dip

Ingredients:

? cup plain Greek-style nonfat yogurt

2 tablespoons mayonnaise

1 teaspoon white wine vinegar

1/3 cup crumbled blue cheese

?Directions:

In a small bowl, stir together the yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, and blue cheese.? Mash any very large chunks of blue cheese with the back of a spoon to integrate it into the dip.

Make the dip up to 3 days ahead and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Allow to come to room temperature before serving.
