Ingredients
- vegetable oil, for frying
- 3 pounds chicken wings, split at the joint, wingtips removed and discarded
- 5 celery ribs, cut into 2-inch sticks and chilled in an ice bath
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup hot sauce, or to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 6 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup sour cream
- salt
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 2-3 shakes of hot sauce (recommended: Frank’s Red Hot)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Fill a large 5 to 6-quart heavy pot with 2-inches of oil. Heat over medium heat until a deep fry thermometer registers 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Working in batches, pat 5 to 6 wings dry with VIVA® towels. Gently drop wings into the hot oil. Move them gently in the oil with a spider or slotted spoon so the wings don’t stick together. Fry until crispy and golden, about 7 minutes. Remove to a VIVA® towel lined plate and season with salt immediately. Continue with remaining batches. Melt butter over medium heat in a small sauce pan with the hot sauce and lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Pour into a large bowl and add wings. Toss to coat well. Remove celery sticks from water and drain on Viva® towels. Serve chicken wings on a platter with celery sticks and blue cheese dip. Blue Cheese Dip: Whisk all ingredients together in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

yum
Yum-O! Next time i will make my chicken a tiny bit spicier, but this was deliciousness! And that blue cheese dressing recipe was to die for. Will definitely make this again!
Excellent. Hunny loved them, but I thought it could use more hot sauce. Sooo easy to make, I’ll be doing these again. (I love buffalo wings!!!)
These wings are delicious; especially the sauce it’s perfect. Not too hot!
I have made these wings and my family loves them.
taste great and is good for a sunny day out with friends and family.
