2 tablespoons fine chopped yellow onions |
1 garlic clove, crushed |
1/4 cup parsley, minced |
1 cup mayonnaise |
1/4 cup blue cheese, crumbled into fine pieces |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, fresh ground |
1 pinch cayenne pepper |
1/4 lb butter |
2 tablespoons tabasco sauce |
50 pieces chicken wings (either center or upper portion or both) |
peanut oil (for deep frying) |
celery rib (to garnish) |

2. Add the yellow onion, garlic, parsley, mayonnaise, blue cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
3. Mix well.
4. Refrigerate before serving.
5. In a large skillet melt the butter over low heat, and stir in the hot sauce.
6. Add more or less to taste.
7. Deep fry the wing pieces in small batches in peanut oil at 385f for about 10 minutes, or until browned and crisp.
