    Chicken wings are a family favorite around our house. We have them at least a couple times a month. Not only are they super tasty, but they are simple to make. I like to make my chicken wings in the air fryer instead of deep frying them.

    When you make chicken wings in the air fryer, you get the same crispy texture as deep frying without all the oil and fat. Another great thing about chicken wings is that you can change up the flavors so much they are so flexible.

    I always serve my chicken wings with blue cheese dip when I make any type of spicy chicken wing. This blue cheese recipe is definitely a family favorite dip recipe.

    How do I store blue cheese dip

    When you are storing your blue cheese dip, be sure to store your dip in the fridge. You need to keep your blue cheese dip tightly covered to avoid air causing your dip to go rancid.

    Have no fear though, you have about a week before your dip goes bad, so plenty of time to enjoy its tasty flavors.

    Can I freeze this blue cheese dip recipe

    What is Blue Cheese

    Blue cheese, which is also called bleu cheese, is a cheese that is made up of cultures from penicillium. Does that word look familiar to you? The mold which makes up blue cheese is, in fact, the same mold that makes the famous antibiotic penicillin. I find it so odd that I am allergic to the antibiotic penicillin. However, I can still eat blue cheese.  

    Blue cheese got its name from the fact that the Penicillium mold can make the cheese look blue. The mold gives the cheese a color range from blue to green. Blue cheese is also known for being extremely intense. The smell of blue clue is very distinct. The odor is caused by the mold penicillium.

    History of Blue Cheese Dip

    I've told you before, but I love reading up on food history. It is so exciting, and I learn so many facts. If you were to ever play food trivia, trust me, you will want me on your team.

    This week I did some research on the history of blue cheese dip, and I thought I would share the information that I found with you. 

    The first time that blue cheese dressing or dip was recorded to be used was in 1918. It was found to be listed in a cookbook called the Fannie Farmer's Cookbook.

    The blue cheese dressing or dip recipe took off in 1928 when the Edgewater Hotel Salad Book published the recipe. At the time, the recipe was called Roquefort Dressing. It quickly became a famous salad dressing and then turned into the dip that it is now.

    Ingredients for Creamy Blue Cheese Dip

    • ¾ cup bleu or blue cheese, crumbled
    • ¾ cup mayo
    • 6 tablespoons sour cream or Greek yogurt
    • 1 ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon hot sauce, more or less to taste
    • 2 teaspoons garlic powder, more or less to taste
    • ¾ teaspoon pepper

    How to Make Creamy Blue Cheese Dip 

    Step 1. Ideally, using a handheld or stand mixer, combine ingredients and blend until smooth. 

    Step 2. Taste your dip and see if it needs more hot sauce and garlic powder.

    Step 3. Refrigerate your dip for at least an hour, if not longer. The longer, the better.

    Step 4. Serve and enjoy.

    Notes:

    • I always add more garlic and pepper to my dip for our taste preferences.
    • This dip will last for a week in an airtight container inside your fridge.
