Ingredients

\1.2 kilograms of chicken nibbles
\100 grams of butter
\⅓ cup of sriracha hot sauce
\2 teaspoons of brown sugar
\½ teaspoons of sea salt
\½ teaspoon of smoked paprika

Blue cheese dressing

\80 grams of blue cheese, crumbled
\½ cup of sour cream
\¼ cup of mayonnaise, good quality
\1 lemon, juiced
\sea salt
\black pepper, cracked

To serve

\fresh sticks of celery
\chopped chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C.
  2. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Use a fork to mash the little lumps of blue cheese a little to integrate the cheese further. You could also use a food processor to do this step if a smoother texture is preferred.
  3. Place the chicken nibbles in a single layer on an oven proof tray. Sprinkle with sea salt and bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden brown
  4. While the chicken is cooking, place all the marinade ingredients into a small saucepan over a low heat. Stir until the butter is melted.
  5. Place the cooked chicken nibbles into a large shallow bowl. Pour over the sauce and toss until well coated.
  6. Serve immediately with the blue cheese dressing on the side, a sprinkling of chopped chives and some crisp celery sticks.
