Vacuum seal chicken wings and cook sous-vide at 165°F for about 1 hour.

Prepare the blue cheese dressing by breaking up St Agur blue cheese in a bowl.

Add buttermilk to the blue cheese and mix until combined.

Incorporate mayonnaise and yogurt (or sour cream) into the mixture for thickness.

Add lemon juice to the dressing and blend until smooth.

Refrigerate the dressing to let flavors meld.

Prepare the hot sauce by blending homemade fermented hot pepper relish with white vinegar.

Strain the blended hot sauce to remove seeds and skins, retaining some body.

Remove cooked wings from the vacuum pack and dredge in tapioca starch.

Deep fry the wings until golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes, since they are already cooked.

Sprinkle salt on the fried wings after removing them from the oil.

Mix the strained hot sauce with melted butter, whisking to emulsify.

Toss the fried wings in the hot sauce mixture until well coated.
