Equipment

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 200°C.
• 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.
• 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
• While the chicken is cooking, place all the marinade ingredients into a small saucepan over a low heat. Stir until the butter is melted.
• Place the cooked chicken nibbles into a large shallow bowl. Pour over the sauce and toss until well coated.
• Serve immediately with the blue cheese dressing on the side, a sprinkling of chopped chives and some crisp celery sticks.
