Sauce: Stir together all ingredients until blended. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.

Wings: Light one side of grill, heating to 350°F-400°F (medium-high). Combine first 2 ingredients with 1 tsp. salt. Cut off chicken wing tips and discard; cut wings in half at joint. Toss wings with oil. Sprinkle chicken with pepper mixture and toss. Arrange wings over unlit side of grill. Grill, covered, 18-20 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, melt butter in pot over medium; add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add vinegar, next 5 ingredients and remaining 1 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until bubbly, 10-12 minutes.

Transfer wings to clean bowl; add half of butter mixture, reserving remaining mixture. Gently toss wings to coat. Place wings on lit side of grill. Grill, covered, 10 minutes or until browned, turning occasionally. Toss wings with reserved butter mixture. Serve with blue cheese sauce. Servings: 12. Cals.: 351. Protein: 23 g. Fat: 24 g.
