Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 425 F degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and pat dry the chicken wings and place them in a large bowl. Season them with salt and pepper and toss well.
- Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking pan. Bake for 20 minutes then brush them generously with Litehouse Chunky Blue Cheese Dressing. It's not necessary to brush them on both sides, also it's not necessary to turn the wings over, they will be crispy on both sides.
- Place the wings in the oven for another 20 minutes or until they are dark golden brown, you'll notice the skin will be very crispy.
- Transfer the wings to a large bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them, then toss well. Make sure you do this while they are still warm.
- While the wings are in the oven you can start preparing the dip by dumping all the dip ingredients together into a medium size bowl and stirring everything together.
- Transfer the dip to a smaller baking dish (make sure it's oven safe) and bake (in the preheated oven @ 425F) for 10 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve the wings with dip, alongside veggies, such as carrots or celery sticks and tortilla chips.

- Make the dip: Pulse the sour cream, blue cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, milk and lemon juice in a food processor until combined but still chunky. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

BUFFALO WINGS WITH DAIRY FREE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING
I gave up dairy years ago but with so many food substitutions I haven't had to go without. The vegan cheese substitutes are very tasty and this one is no exception. Remember to disjoint the chicken wings and discard the little tips and save for soup stock. I got the original recipe from Cooks.com. Note: I didn't include the over night times in the recipe.

Steps:
- Slowly melt the butter, hot sauce and vinegar in a medium saucepan, then pour into a large bowl. Mix all the ingredients for the blue cheese dip together with a pinch of salt. Cover and chill until needed.
- Trim the end off each chicken wing, then cut each in half through the joint. Tip the wings into a bowl. Add the celery salt (if using), seasoning and enough flour so they're all evenly coated.
- Heat 4 tbsp oil in a large, deep frying pan and add the wings (do this in 2 batches if your pan isn't big enough). Fry them, stirring frequently, until they are cooked through and browned all over, about 10 mins for each batch. As soon as they are cooked, transfer them to the bowl of butter sauce and stir well. Repeat with the second batch. Serve the wings on a platter with any extra buttery sauce poured over and the blue cheese dip and celery sticks on the side

Tips:
- To achieve crispy wings, pat them dry with paper towels before cooking. Excess moisture will prevent the wings from getting crispy.
- Use a large bowl to toss the wings in the sauce. This will ensure that all the wings are evenly coated.
- If you don't have a baking sheet, you can use a wire rack placed over a baking dish. This will allow the wings to cook evenly and drain any excess oil.
- Bake the wings until they are cooked through and crispy. The internal temperature of the wings should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the wings hot with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
