Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the chicken wings

Pat 2 lbs of chicken wings dry with paper towels. Cut the wings at the joint to separate the drumettes and flats, discarding the wing tips.

2
Prepare the coating

In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

3
Coat the wings

Add the chicken wings to the flour mixture and toss until evenly coated.

4
Heat the oil

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, heat 4 cups of vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

5
Fry the wings (first fry)

Working in batches, carefully add the coated wings to the hot oil and fry for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden and cooked through. Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

6
Prepare the Buffalo sauce

In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sauce and 1 teaspoon of garlic powder until well combined.

7
Fry the wings (second fry)

Increase the oil temperature to 375°F (190°C). Return the wings to the hot oil and fry for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown. Remove the wings from the oil and place them on a clean wire rack.

8
Toss the wings in the sauce

In a large bowl, toss the crispy wings with the prepared Buffalo sauce until evenly coated.

9
Prepare the blue cheese dressing

In a food processor, blend 4 oz of crumbled blue cheese, 1/2 cup of sour cream, and 1/4 cup of buttermilk until smooth.

10
Prepare the celery

Wash and cut 6 celery stalks into sticks.

11
Serve and enjoy

Serve the crispy Buffalo Wings hot, accompanied by the blue cheese dressing and celery sticks. Enjoy the perfect combination of spicy, tangy, and creamy flavors!
