Ingredients
For the sauce
- 100ml cream
- 80g gorgonzola, crumbled
For the winglets
- 1 tsp (5ml) olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- ¼ cup (60ml) honey
- 2 Tbsp (30ml) soy sauce
- Oil for deep frying
- 1 cup (250ml) flour
- 1 Tbsp (15ml) cayenne pepper
- Salt and ground black pepper
- 1 x pack County Fair Chicken Wings
- 2 eggs
Method
- For the sauce, heat the cream until just steaming. Add the crumbled gorgonzola and stir until melted.
- If the sauce splits, you may need to whizz it with an electric hand blender so it comes back together. Season with black pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat the olive oil over low heat in a small saucepan. Add the garlic and gently sauté until soft, ensuring the garlic does not brown.
- Add the honey and soy sauce. Simmer for 5 minutes, then set aside.
- Preheat the oil to 175°C in a large pot.
- Mix the flour, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together.
- Pat the wings dry, dip them into the egg, and then toss them through the flour. Ensure they’re evenly coated.
- Fry the wings in batches until golden, crisp, and cooked through.
- Remove the wings from the oil and drain on a paper towel. While still hot, toss the wings through the garlic honey sauce.
- Serve immediately with the delicious gorgonzola cream sauce on the side.
