Preparation
The Wings
Trim the wing tips off using a pair of kitchen scissors and then pat dry with kitchen towel.

Mix the baking powder and sea salt together and coat the wings. Leave the wings uncovered on a wire rack in the fridge over night.

Preheat the oven to 230 ºC.

Line a baking tray with foil and arrange the wings skin side up so that they have some room between them. Bake for 20 minutes and then flip the wings and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes.

Hot Sauce
Place the ingredients for the hot sauce in a small saucepan over low heat and mix until combined.
Blue Cheese Dip
Mix the blue cheese and cream together and whisk to combine.

To Assemble
Let the wings cool for a few minutes and then toss in the warm hot sauce. Serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce and a Jack Black Amber Ale to wash it all down.
