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 the 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

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and cayenne.

In a large heavy-bottomed pot, pour in the oil to a depth of 2 inches. Place over medium heat and heat until a deep-fry thermometer inserted in the oil registers 375 degrees F. Working in 3 batches, dredge the wings in the flour mixture and fry until lightly browned, about 10 to 12 minutes per batch. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the wings to a paper towel-lined plate. (Make sure the oil returns to the proper temperature before frying each batch.)

In a large bowl, combine the butter, lemon juice, and hot sauce. Toss the fried wings in the hot sauce mixture. Transfer the wings, with the sauce, to a large foil-lined baking sheet, or 2 small ones, and bake, turning the wings occasionally, until crispy and they have absorbed most of the sauce, about 35 minutes.

Transfer the wings to a serving platter and serve with the blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

  • Blue Cheese Dressing
  • 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
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, 1/4 cup of the blue cheese, half-and-half, sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire, and salt, until smooth. Gently stir in the remaining 1/4 cup of blue cheese and season with pepper, to taste. Use now or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Yield: 2 1/4 cups

    We LOVED this recipe. This is the first time we made buffalo wings. It was very easy. The only change we made was to bake the wings for 15 minutes versus 35 minutes. They were absolutely perfect. Thank you!
