Wings

2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter (Melted)

1/2 Cup Hot Pepper Sauce

1/2 Teaspoon Cayenne Pepper

Vegetable Oil

3/4 Cup Cornstarch

3 Pounds Chicken Wings (Tips Removed, Drumettes & Flats Separated)

Deep Fry Thermometer

Blue Cheese Dressing

2-Ounces Mild Blue Cheese (Crumbled)

1/4 Cup Buttermilk

1/4 Cup Mayonnaise

1/4 Cup Sour Cream

Step 1: Start by making the blue cheese dressing. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk up the blue cheese crumbles, buttermilk, mayo, sour cream, and lemon juice. Use salt and pepper to taste. Cover it and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.

Step 2: On medium heat in a small saucepan, melt the butter. Once melted, pour in the hot sauce, cayenne pepper, and some salt and pepper. Whisk together and then set aside until needed.

Step 3: Heat up the vegetable oil in a large pot on medium-high heat. Use your deep-fry thermometer to assure it reaches 375 degrees.

Step 4: While the pot is heating up, season your wings with salt and pepper. Pour cornstarch into a shallow bowl and coat each wing evenly.

Step 5: Place the wings in the heated pot in batches and fry for about 10-12 minutes. Make sure to turn them occasionally so they are evenly golden brown throughout.

Step 6: Heat up your hot sauce mixture and then pour the sauce on all the wings.

Step 7: Serve immediately with your blue cheese dressing.
