Buffalo Wings - cooking recipe

Ingredients

vegetable oil (for deep frying)
4 lb. chicken wings
6 Tbsp. unsalted butter
4 Tbsp. Tabasco sauce
2 Tbsp. white wine vinegar
Blue Cheese Dressing
celery sticks

Preparation

Cut the tips off the wings and reserve for another use such as stock.
Halve the wings at the joint.
In a large deep fryer or large deep kettle, heat 2-inches of oil to 380\u00b0.
Fry the wings, patted dry, in small batches, for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are golden and crisp.
Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain. Make sure oil is heated to 380\u00b0 before frying next batch.
In a large skillet, melt the butter with the Tabasco, the vinegar and salt to taste over low heat, stirring constantly.
Add the wings and heat them, tossing to coat with the mixture.
Serve the wings warm, or at room temperature, with the Blue Cheese Dressing and the celery sticks.
