• February 02 2021, by The Local Palate Marketplace

These wings from chef Jeremiah Bacon of Oak Steakhouse in Charleston are ideal for game day. We suggest making them with Ogre Sauce.

Yields
4 to 6 appetizer servings 

Ingredients

Wings

1 tablespoon onion powder 

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon chili powder 

1 teaspoon paprika

4 tablespoons brown sugar

½ teaspoon oregano 

1 teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon mustard powder

2 tablespoons of salt

20 chicken wings

Ogre Hot Sauce, to taste

2 tablespoons butter

Blue Cheese Dressing

1 tablespoon chopped parsley

½ cup Duke’s mayonnaise

½ cup sour cream

⅓ cup blue cheese crumbles

⅓ cup red onion, diced

2 teaspoons black pepper

Pinch of cayenne

Couple splashes red wine vinegar

Directions

1. Combine all spices in a large bowl to make rub. Toss wings in rub until thoroughly coated. Let wings marinate in rub for 1 hour. While wings are marinating, preheat grill.
2. Brush grill with olive oil to keep wings from sticking to grate, then place wings on grill. Turn every 3 minutes to keep from burning. Grill wings until internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
3. Combine butter and hot sauce in a large bowl and toss wings in hot sauce mixture. Serve with blue cheese dressing (recipe follows).

Blue Cheese Dressing: Combine ingredients in a bowl and mix until incorporated.
