Wings

1 tsp Cayenne pepper

1 stick Unsalted butter

Method

Preparing the Wings

Preheat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Season the Wings

While the oil is heating, rinse the chicken wings under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Toss the wings in the seasoning until evenly coated.

Fry the Wings

Carefully lower the seasoned wings into the hot oil in batches, being cautious not to overcrowd the pot. Fry the wings for about 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Drain and Toss in Sauce

Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove the wings from the oil and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. In a separate bowl, melt the butter and mix with the hot sauce. Toss the hot wings in the sauce until evenly coated.

Making the Blue Cheese Dressing

Combine Ingredients

In a medium bowl, crumble the blue cheese with a fork. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.

Chill the Dressing

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dressing for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serving
