Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons cayenne pepper
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups hot sauce
- 1 tablespoons white vinegar
- 0.5 cups blue cheese crumbles
- 0.5 cups sour cream
- 0.25 cups mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 4 cups vegetable oil (for frying)
- 6 celery sticks
Instructions
Pat the chicken wings dry with paper towels and separate them into drumettes and wingettes if not already done.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Toss the chicken wings in the seasoned flour to coat them evenly.
Place the coated wings on a wire rack and let them rest for 10-15 minutes. This helps the coating adhere better during frying.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Fry the wings in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pot, for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the hot sauce and white vinegar until well combined. Remove from heat.
Toss the fried wings in the hot sauce mixture until they are fully coated. Transfer to a serving platter.
To make the blue cheese dip, combine the blue cheese crumbles, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and milk in a bowl. Mix until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if needed.
Serve the hot wings with the blue cheese dip and celery sticks on the side.
