Think buffalo wings aren't Christmassy? Think again!
Start by making your buffalo. Melt butter over a medium heat, then once it starts to foam start swirling it. Keep it moving until you see little brown specks throughout the butter, then remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly.
To a bowl, add the hot sauce, maple syrup, vinegar, salt and pepper, and the brown butter. Whisk together, then add the orange zest.
To a blender, add the buttermilk, mayo, stilton, garlic powder, onion, vinegar, and salt. Once smooth, add the chives and pop in the fridge to chill.
Pat dry the chicken wings. In a large bowl, combine the flours and spices, along with some salt. Coat the chicken wings, and preheat the oil to 180 C.
Fry the wings until they’re golden brown and crispy, and they reach an internal temperature of 73 C. Remove the wings and allow the oil to drain off, then chuck in a few sage leaves and fry for a few seconds.
Toss in the buffalo sauce, then plate up with the stilton sauce. Top with the fried sage leaves, and thats it!
