Bobby Flay Does it Again: Grilled Chicken Wings with Spicy Chipotle Hot Sauce and Blue Cheese-Yogurt Dipping Sauce

Oh yum. We haven't been impressed with our local wing place (although I want to find their fry recipes...drool), so we decided to try making them ourselves. Since it was our 1st try, we turned to good ol' Bobby Flay. We were very pleased. The dipping sauce was perfect, although I used sour cream. We both could have used more heat also, so I will kick it up some.

Try it. You won't be sorry.

And for those of you with kids, we left out the hot sauce mixture and just let them dip the chicken and veggies in the blue cheese dipping sauce.
