  • 1 16 ounce bottle buffalo wing hot sauce (2 cups)
  • 1/4 cup  tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons  white or cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons  Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 cup  mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup  crumbled blue cheese (2 ounces)
  • 1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon  cayenne pepper or bottled hot pepper sauce

Directions

1. Place drumsticks in a 4- or 5-quart slow cooker. In a medium bowl, combine hot sauce, tomato paste, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce. Pour over chicken in cooker.

2. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6 to 8 hours or on high-heat setting for 3 to 4 hours.

3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, and cayenne pepper. Reserve half of the blue cheese dip (3/4 cup); store as directed below. Cover and chill the remaining dip until ready to serve.

4. Using a slotted spoon, remove drumsticks from cooker. Skim fat from cooking juices. Reserve eight of the drumsticks and 1 cup of the cooking juices; store as directed below. Serve remaining drumsticks with some of the remaining cooking juices, the remaining blue cheese dip, and celery sticks. Makes 4 servings and reserves.

From the Test KitchenTo store reserves:
  • Place blue cheese dip in an airtight container. Remove skin and meat from drumsticks, discarding bones. Using two forks, shred chicken (2-1/2 to 3 cups). Place shredded chicken and the 1 cup cooking juices in a second airtight container. Seal and chill for up to 3 days.
