Here's a really good recipe I got off the Food Network web site a while back. I had always loved Buffalo Wings, but they're so inconsistent from place to place. The wings in this recipe are great; spicy but not overpowering. The bleu cheese dressing is pretty good, but it's easier to go to the store and buy a jar of T. Marzetti's.

Buffalo Wings

Wings:
12 chicken wings, halved
vegetable oil (deep fryer)
salt and pepper
4 T butter
8 oz. Frank's Hot Sauce
1 T white vinegar

Celery

Bleu Cheese Dressing:
1 C mayonnaise
3 T minced onion
1 1/2 T minced garlic
1/3 C fresh parsley
1/2 C sour cream
1 T lemon juice
1 T white vinegar
1/3 C bleu cheese
salt and pepper

  1. Preheat oil in deep fryer to 375 degrees. Cut up wings, reserving tips for soup stock. Fry wings in oil for 8 minutes. Drain on plate w/ paper towel. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Melt butter in saucepan. Add hot sauce, 1 T vinegar. Toss drained wings in sauce. Let sit for 30 minutes to 2 hours.
  3. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, onion, garlic, parsley, sour cream, lemon juice, 1 T vinegar, bleu cheese, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to serve wings.
  4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Using basting brush, re-sauce wings. Roast wings in a pan or cookie sheet for 20-25 minutes.
  5. Cut celery into 3-4 inch sticks. Serve wings with celery and bleu cheese dressing.

It's a great recipe if you like wings. The double-saucing was my own innovation.
