ingredients

Wings
  • 30 chicken wings, small wing joint removed
  • 2 cups hot sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • Kosher salt
  • Cayenne pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • Oil, for deep-frying
Blue Cheese Dressing
  • 4 ounces blue cheese
  • 1 3-oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups mayonnaise
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup Crisco® Light Olive Oil OR 1/4 cup Crisco® Pure Canola Oil

directions

Wings

  • 1

    To make the wings: Place the wings in a glass or other non-reactive bowl and add 1 cup of the hot sauce and Worcestershire. Mix thoroughly, being sure all the wings are coated, cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 30 minutes.

  • 2

    Pour the oil for frying in a large pot to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F.

  • 3

    Place the flour in a separate mixing bowl and season with kosher salt and cayenne pepper to taste. In a separate bowl, prepare an egg wash by whisking together the eggs and milk until well blended. Working with all 3 bowls (wings, flour mixture and egg wash): first dredge each wing in the flour mixture, then dip the wing in the egg wash; and finally dredge the wing completely in the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Deep-fry the wings for 12 to 15 minutes or until the batter achieves a crisp, uniform texture. When cooked through, set aside to drain on paper towels or the nonprinted side of a paper grocery bag.

Blue Cheese Dressing

  • 1

    CRUMBLE blue cheese in medium mixing bowl. Blend in cream cheese. Stir in mayonnaise, garlic and pepper. Mix well. Slowly add oil until smooth.

  • 2

    COVER and store in refrigerator. Stir before serving.

notes

To serve, place the fried wings in a large bowl and drench with the remaining 1 cup hot sauce (or less, to taste). Serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce and celery sticks on the side – and plenty of napkins!
