This is an awesome appetizer that is best eaten with beer. It is also a comfort food that I crave for once in a while. The blue cheese dip and the celery sticks balances out the spiciness.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
20 pieces chicken wings
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup hot sauce
Oil for frying (vegetable, canola, peanut)
8 ounces sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese
1 clove minced garlic
In a blender, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese and garlic. Blend until smooth and place in a bottle or container. Refrigerate up to 1 week.
Place the flour, salt, paprika, garlic powder and pepper in a shallow bowl or dish. Coat the chicken wings in the flour mixture and refrigerate it for an hour. After, coat the chicken in flour for the second time.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the hot sauce. Keep warm.
Deep fry the chicken in oil until they are golden brown. Place them on a rack or strainer for 3 minutes to drain the excess oil. After coat the wings with butter and hot sauce mixture. Transfer the chicken on a plate and serve with blue cheese and celery sticks.
