Ingredients

400g potatoes, peeled and cut into skinny fries
500g chicken wings, halved at the joint and tips removed
50g butter, melted
2–3 tbsp hot pepper sauce
½ tbsp paprika
¼ tsp celery salt
olive oil

BLUE CHEESE SLAW

(such as dolcelatte) 50g blue cheese, crumbled
100ml half-fat soured cream
1 tbsp mayonnaise
¼ small white cabbage, shredded
½ small red onion, thinly sliced

Method

STEP 1
Put the fries into a bowl of cold salted water and leave for 30 minutes.
STEP 2
Toss the chicken wings with the butter, hot sauce, paprika and celery salt, and leave to marinate for 30 minutes.
STEP 3
To make the slaw, mash the blue cheese, soured cream and mayo. Toss with the cabbage and red onion, season and leave to sit until you need it.
STEP 4
Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Drain the potatoes and dry really well on kitchen paper. Toss with a good splash of olive oil and spread on a non-stick baking tray in a single layer. Put in the top half of the oven and cook for 50–55 minutes, giving them a stir occasionally. Season them when cooked. Put the wings on a separate baking tray, sit below the fries and cook for 40–45 minutes until crisp and golden.
STEP 5
Toss the slaw again, then serve with the wings and fries.
