HOT CHICKEN WINGS WITH CLOTTED CREAM & CORNISH BLUE SAUCE

DESCRIPTION

Over the years the South West has developed a real love of BBQ and Cajun spices so for a bit of fun we wanted to incorporate our classic Trewithen Dairy Cornish Clotted Cream into a finger-lickin’ dish. The clotted cream works really well with this sauce and could be adapted to pair with pork tenderloin or a nut roast as proper weekend treat.
