Curt’s Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
Chicken Wings (thawed if frozen)
Lawry’s Salt
Black pepper
Garlic Powder
Frank’s Hot Sauce
Butter
Budd’s Bleu Dressing and Dip. Dip your wings in the good stuff!
Preheat oven to 350˚
I use Lawry’s salt, black pepper and garlic powder to season my wings. I like to put my wings in a bowl and toss them with the seasonings.
Cover your baking pan with aluminum foil. It makes clean-up a bit easier.
Put your wings on the pan in a single layer.
Place baking pan in oven. Check the wings after 20 min. Flip the wings. You’ll be able to see when they’re done.
The Buffalo Sauce:
I start with a 50/50 mixture of melted butter and Frank's Hot Sauce with a little more pepper and garlic added. You can adjust to your taste.
When the wings are done, put them in a big bowl and pour the sauce over them and toss. I like to let them sit for at least 15 minutes.
Then back in the oven under the broiler to crisp up a bit. Don't walk away! Flip again. Done!
It's way easier to cook wings on the smoker, but this way tastes better — buttery with a little spice.
Sorry I don't have a lot of time, temps and measurements listed, but they'll be good no matter what you do, because whoever is eating them didn't have to do any of the work! Hahaha!
Enjoy with a jar of Budd’s Bleu Dressing and Dip!!
Julia’s Budd’s Bleu Buffalo Chicken Sliders
Ingredients:
Rotisserie Chicken
Frank’s Hot Sauce
Butter
King’s Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls
Directions:
Slice the Hawaiian rolls in half for slider buns. Lightly butter each half and gently toast on a griddle. (You don’t have to toast the buns. Some people think toasted buns hold the saucy chicken and yummy Budd’s Bleu better, but sometimes I just can't wait long enough for toasting!)
Pull the chicken off the bone into whatever bite-size pieces you prefer.
Pour equal amounts of Frank’s Hot Sauce and melted butter over the pulled chicken. Stir until chicken is coated.
Put about a 1/4 cup (more or less to your taste) of chicken mixture onto the bottom half of a bun.
Add a dollop of Budd’s Bleu Dressing and Dip. Put the top half of the bun on all that gooey goodness and ENJOY!
Soren’s Smash Burgers
Note: These are best prepared on a Blackstone Grill!
Ingredients:
Ground beef. Purchase 80/20 ground beef. You want at least 20% fat for juicy, tender sliders.
Bacon. Get thick sliced bacon that has plenty of meat and less fat.
King’s Hawaiian rolls. These rolls are soft, fluffy, and perfectly sized for sliders.
Salt and pepper. Seasoning the patties is essential and enhances their flavor.
American cheese. You can substitute with another cheese, but we like how easily American cheese melts over the sliders.
Iceberg lettuce. Shredding the lettuce makes the sliders easier to bite into and keeps the focus on the meat and cheese.
Dill pickles. Dice the pickles and scatter them over the sliders.
Tomatoes. Small bits of tomato add extra juiciness and sweetness to the sliders.
Budd’s Bleu Dressing and Dip. Top it all with the good stuff!
Directions:
Portion the ground beef into 16 meatballs.
Sauté the bacon and diced onions on the hot griddle.
Toast the rolls and place a towel over them to keep them warm.
Toss the meatballs on the Blackstone and smash them flat with a spatula, then season them with salt and pepper.
Flip the patties and top them with cheese slices.
Transfer the burger patties to the rolls and top them with all the toppings.
Add Budd’s Bleu Dressing and Dip and serve with Old Dutch Ripple Chips!
Tips for Success:
Preheat the griddle before you start grilling. Get it ripping hot to get a nice crust on the patties and seal in those juices.
Leave some bacon grease on the hot Blackstone griddle for extra flavor.
Keep the heat on high. The faster you cook the slider patties, the juicier they will be.
After you put the cheese on the patties, cover them with a basting lid to help the cheese melt quicker.
Sliders are supposed to be messy! Don’t worry if some of the shredded lettuce and diced onions fall off the edges.

Ingredients:
2 tbsp drained prepared horseradish (adjust to your taste)
1 tbsp chopped chives

Optional - 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar
Optional - 1/8 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Directions:

Try Our Latest Creation: Steak Flatbread Pizza
This recipe consists of leftover ribeye steak (I know, who has that?), mushrooms, red onions, naan flatbread and Budd’s Bleu Gourmet Dressing and Dip.
Ingredients:
1 Garlic Naan Flatbread (we like the Specialty Selected brand from Aldi)
2 oz. Budd’s Blue Gourmet Dressing and Dip
4 oz. Sliced ribeye (we used leftover, but you easily go with fresh steak and then sauté with the mushrooms and onions)
¼ red onion, sliced
1 can sliced mushrooms, or fresh if you have them
Butter and/or olive oil
Preheat oven to 350˚
Sauté the onions and mushrooms in a little butter and olive oil until onions are soft. Salt and pepper to taste. Add sliced steak to just heat up.
Place only the flatbread on a sheet pan and bake for 2-3 minutes. Remove the flatbread from oven and spread 2 oz. of Budd’s Bleu Gourmet Dressing and Dip on the bread (you can use more if you like).
Evenly add steak, mushrooms and onions on the dressing.
The pizza could be eaten as is. Or, we chose to bake it for about 10 minutes or until the dressing is browned a little around the edges. Enjoy!
