Directions
-
Discard small tip of each wing, split at large joint and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
-
Heat oil in large casserole or fryer (until quite hot). Add half of wings and cook, stirring occasionally.
-
When brown and crisp (15-20 min.), remove and drain well. Cook remaining wings.
-
Melt butter in saucepan and add hot sauce and vinegar.
-
Put wings on a warm platter and pour sauce over them (or put wings and sauce in a closed container and shake).
-
Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, crumbled blue cheese, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, lemon juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, and cayenne to taste.
-
Chill dressing for an hour or longer before serving.
-
Serve wings with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping.
Note
Storage: Store leftover wings and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Substitutions: You can bake the wings at 400°F (200°C) for 40-50 minutes until crispy if you prefer not to deep fry.
Tips: For extra crispy wings, pat them completely dry before frying and ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken.
Variations: Adjust the amount of hot sauce and cayenne in the dressing to control the heat level.
