BBQ buffalo wings with celery and blue cheese dip

5.00

Buffalo wings originated in Buffalo, New York, and became popular the world over thanks to their spicy sauce, made using hot sauce and melted butter. Usually they'd be deep fried but we also love them cooked on barbecue for another layer of smoky flavour. They are traditionally served with a blue cheese dip and cooling celery sticks, although you could always use a sour cream dip if you don't like blue cheese.
