Dips

Blue cheese is the dip on this shelf — a different format to a bottled BBQ sauce, built to be spooned or stirred rather than poured or brushed on, tracing back to the American wing-night tradition of cooling hot food with something cold, creamy and tangy. It's built for buffalo wings first, then chips, wedges, celery sticks and crudités.

Start with Atomic Chicken's Blue Cheese Sauce, a ready-to-serve 250ml wet dip with no chilli heat at all — a cool, creamy counterpoint made to tame spicy food, good beside wings, over a wedge salad or spooned onto loaded fries. Or Uncle Mungo's Blue Cheese Seasoning, a 200g dry shaker blend that carries a mild kick of its own from chilli powder in the mix, built to dust wings and chips or stir into a dip of your own. Both are made in Australia and gluten friendly.

Uncle Mungo's own recipe notes call for stirring a pour of Atomic Chicken's Blue Cheese Sauce straight into the shaker blend for the cooling crew — two blue cheese formats, two brands, one wing night.
