blue cheese dressing and celery sticks, carrot sticks, zucchini sticks

Cut wing tips from wings and discard or reserve for making chicken stock. Split each wing at the joint and cut through so there are 2 pieces from each wing. Rinse and dry completely. In a large bowl, combine the melted butter, hot sauce and cider vinegar and stir until completely blended. Heat oil until it is 375°F. Put half the wings into the Waring Pro® Professional Deep Fryer and cook until browned and crispy, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove wings; drain briefly on layered paper towels. Then stir hot, crispy wings into the hot sauce mixture. Repeat with remaining wings. Serve hot with cold vegetable sticks and blue cheese dressing.

Note: If you have some guests who do not appreciate hot and spicy, fry the wings as instructed and toss with your favorite BBQ sauce or honey mustard sauce. For “suicidal” strength wings, add Tabasco® or other hot sauce along with the Louisiana-style hot sauce.

½cup sour cream (regular or lowfat)

½cup crumbled blue cheese

teaspoon finely chopped garlic

¼cup finely chopped parsley
