Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) can beer
- 3 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 pounds chicken wings
- Vegetable oil or shortening, for frying
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon cayenne
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 5 tablespoons hot sauce
- 1 teaspoon dark brown sugar
- 1 cup blue cheese, crumbled
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons minced onion
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Serving suggestion: carrot and celery sticks
Instructions
- To make the wings: In a large bowl, whisk together the beer and hot sauce. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours.
- To make the sauce: Combine all ingredients and set aside.
- To make the dip: Combine all ingredients, place in a serving bowl and refrigerate until needed.
- Add oil or shortening to a large pot or deep-fat fryer to make a depth of 1-inch. Heat to 375 degrees F.
- Meanwhile, in a medium-size bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, cinnamon, and cayenne. Strain the chicken wings and pat them dry. Lightly dust in the flour mixture. Fry the wings, in batches as necessary, turning every 3 minutes until crisp and brown, about 12 minutes (adjust the heat as needed to maintain temperature). Drain wings on paper towels and toss with butter sauce.
- Serve immediately with blue cheese dip and carrot and celery sticks.

Reviews
these wings are great . this is the first time we madewings an they came out delicious.
these wings were pretty good. l skipped the beer tough. very tasty for my first time making wings
Cinnamon on buffalo wings? YUK!
These kind of reminded me of Hooter’s wings. The batter was so good!
Very tasty wings, but a little disappointing because they were not at all hot. The blue cheese dipping sauce and the hot sauce that the wings are tossed in after cooking are huge winners. We’ll definitely use those parts of the recipe again.
I made these for a party and everyone LOVED them! I didn’t even make the blue cheese dip with them and every last wing was gone by the end of the night. The blue cheese dip will spoil you.. I never eat bottled blue cheese dressing now that I know a recipe that is the best blue cheese dressing hands down!
excellent blend of spices
