Buffalo Wings New York Style - cooking recipe

Ingredients

peanut oil, for frying
4 lbs chicken wings, separated into 2 pieces, wing tips removed, rinsed (about 40)
12 tablespoons margarine
1 cup hot sauce, preferably Frank's Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
1 1/3 cups chunky blue cheese dressing
4 celery ribs, halved lengthwise, then cut crosswise into 3

Preparation

1. Heat oven to 200\u00b0. Pour oil to a depth of 2\" in a 6-qt. Dutch oven, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer reads 350\u00b0. Dry wings thoroughly with paper towels, and working in batches, fry wings until golden brown, about 12 minutes. Transfer wings to a wire rack set over a baking sheet, and place in oven to keep warm until all wings are fried.
2. Heat margarine in a 12\" deep-sided skillet over medium heat; stir in hot sauce until smooth. Add wings, and toss until completely coated. Serve wings in a large bowl with dressing and celery on the side.
