1 Cup Milk (Extra if needed)

For the Sour Cream & Chive Sauce

Method
This recipe is 90% prep work and 10% cooking but trust me, the prep is well worth it.
Sour Cream & Chive Dip
Mix the sour cream and mayo together and add the minced garlic and pepper. Finely chop the chives and mix them through the sauce
Pico
Finely dice the tomato, onion and chilli and place them in a bowl. Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon and season the pico with pepper. Lastly, chop the coriander and mix it through the pico.
Nacho Cheese
Pre-heat a skillet on the bbq and melt your butter. Add the flour to the melted butter and mix thoroughly with a whisk until combined. Slowly add the milk while whisking until the mixture becomes a smooth paste. Cook the mixture for a few minutes to cook out the flour then slowly add the cheese. keep the sauce moving until the cheese is completely melted. Add the chopped chilli towards the end.
Wings
You can make the wings whatever way you want. In fact, you don’t even need wings! you can use any meat you want.
For my wings, I drizzled them with a little oil and season them with the A&O Juan more rub. I then grilled them over the coals before tossing them in Franks Buffalo wing sauce. Let them cool for a little bit then strip the meat from the bones and you are ready to build.
Lay out your tortilla chips on a platter and add some cheese, your wing meat and some pickled jalapenos (optional). Drizzle the nacho cheese sauce over everything. Then top with the pico and sour cream and chive sauce and you are ready to eat!
