Categories: Poultry
Yield: 2 servings

3 c Vegetable oil
18 Chicken wings
6 tb Melted butter
1/4 c Tabasco sauce
3 Celery stalkse
1/4 lb Blue cheese or Gorgonzola
1/2 c Mayonnaise
1/2 c Sour cream or yogurt
1/4 ts Black pepper
1 tb Lemon juice

~---------For the dish:---------- ~---------For the
dressing:---------- FOR THE CHICKEN WINGS, discard
tips and heat the oil to a temperature of 375F in a
deep-sided pot. Rinse the chicken wings, and pat dry
on paper towels. Mix the butter with the Tabasco
sauce, and set aside. Fry a batch at a time, being
careful not to crowd the pot. Fry for 10 to 12
minutes, or until golden brown. Drain in a single
layer on paper towels, and repeat until all wings are
fried. As the wings are fried, roll them in the butter
mixture. Keep the wings warm in a 200F oven in a
single layer. While the wings are frying, make the
dressing by combining the blue cheese, mayonnaise,
sour cream or yogurt, pepper, lemon juice and vinegar
in a small mixing bowl. Break up the cheese with a
fork, but do not beat until smooth. To serve, place
the wings on a platter or plates, and serve with the
dressing and some celery sticks. Makes 36 pieces. The
dressing can be prepared up to two days in advance and
refrigerated.
