Traditional Buffalo Wings

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs chicken wing segments (about 20 pieces)
• Vegtable oil (for frying)
• 1/2 12 ounce bottle “Franks Red Hot Original Hot Sauce”
• 1/2 stick butter
• 3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• Celery, split and cut into 3 inch lengths
• Blue Cheese Dip (recipe follows)

Method

• Prepare your wings by removing the tips and cutting at the joint or just use drumettes. 
• Dry chicken wings on paper towels, on a plate and pat dry with more paper towels. 
• The goal here is to get the wings as dry as possible.

• In deep fryer or in large saucepan, preheat heat oil to 350 degrees. 
• Fry wings in batches until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Do not over-crowd the fryer.

• While wings are frying, in a sauce pan melting butter, add hot sauce, and cayenne pepper and bring to a simmer, and whisk until combined. Remove from heat and set aside.

• Drain first batch on paper towels, while you fry the second batch.

• When all wings are done cooking and have been drained, add to large bowl. 
• Add Buffalo wing sauce, and toss to combine and coat wings evenly.

Serve warm with celery and dressing. Enjoy!
