The secret as they say is in the sauce....Since there are only so many things you can do with the chicken wings and drummettes ( though certainly a great marinade and wonderful way to cook the chicken wings and drummettes themselves also ...) but I decided to put a new twist on the dipping sauce incorporating what first began as an awesome fresh tasting salad and then experimenting till I got the right consistancy with the fennel, celery root, and apple combined with the creme fresh (and optional blue cheese)... Wow ....The combo is fresh & makes your taste buds tingle. Enjoy ! —micki barzilay
