Method

  1. Prepare the dip: Using a food processor, blend together the sour cream, blue cheese, mayonnaise, garlic, milk, and lemon juice until well combined but still slightly chunky. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

  2. Prepare the wings: In a large deep skillet, heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil over high heat until it reaches a temperature of 375 degrees F according to a deep-fry thermometer. Place a rack on a rimmed baking sheet.

  3. Combine the flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Dredge the wings in the flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated. Tap off any excess flour. Fry the wings in batches, turning them as needed, until they are fully cooked and golden brown, which should take around 15 minutes. Make sure to return the oil to 375 degrees F between batches. Use tongs to remove the cooked wings from the skillet and transfer them to the rack to drain.

  4. In the meantime, in a medium pot over medium heat, combine the hot sauce, butter, and honey. Stir until the butter melts and continue cooking until the sauce thickens slightly, which should take approximately 10 minutes. Set aside one-quarter of the sauce for later use. Add the cooked wings to the pot and toss them with the remaining sauce.

  5. Serve the wings with the blue cheese dip and the reserved sauce.
