Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon fine salt |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne |
vegetable oil for frying |
2 pounds chicken wings, split at joint, wingtips removed and discarded |
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted |
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice |
1/4 cup hot sauce, or to taste |
blue cheese dressing, recipe follows |
celery sticks, optional |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/2 cup crumbled maytag blue cheese (about 3 ounces), divided |
1/2 cup half-and-half |
2 tablespoons sour cream |
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. 1. Preheat oven to 400F. Pour oil, to 2 inches deep, into a large heavy bottomed pot fitted with a deep fry thermometer. Heat to 375F over medium heat.
2. 2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, salt, and cayenne. Working in 3 batches, dredge wings in flour mixture and fry until lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer wings to a paper towel-lined plate.
3. 3. In a large bowl, combine butter, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Toss fried wings in hot sauce mixture. Transfer wings, with sauce, to a large foil-lined baking sheet and bake, turning wings occasionally, until they are crispy and have absorbed most sauce, about 35 minutes.
4. 4. Transfer wings to a serving platter and serve with blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.
5. In a medium bowl, whisk mayonnaise, 1/4 cup blue cheese, half-and-half, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, together until smooth. Gently stir in remaining 1/4 cup blue cheese and season with pepper, to taste. Use now or store in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
