Crispy Halloumi Served with Chicken Wings and Creamy Mustard Dipping Sauce
In the hierarchy of the cheese world, halloumi would have to be at the top and we have our arguments ready if you don’t agree. It is the perfect little bite of salty, tangy deliciousness and we’re not promising that you won’t ‘accidentally’ cook and eat more than the recipe requires (hate when that happens!). And don’t get us started on the creamy mustard dipping sauce… The name clearly speaks for itself, it’s so good you’ll want to dip more than just your chicken wings in there… your haloumi and side veggies of course. Is it still unacceptable to lick the plate if you’re not in public?
