Hooters-Style Buffalo Wings

Servings: 2- 4 servings.

Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup Louisiana hot sauce or other
1 dash ground pepper
1 dash garlic powder
1/2 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
10 chicken pieces
Bleu cheese salad dressing and celery sticks

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 375 degrees. You want just enough
oil to cover the wings entirely -- an inch or so deep at least.
Combine the butter, hot sauce, ground pepper, and garlic powder
in a small saucepan over low heat. Heat until the butter is melted
and the ingredients are well blended.
Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small
bowl. If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them.

Put the wings into a large bowl and sprinkle the flour mixture
over them, coating each wing evenly. Put the wings in the
refrigerator for 60 to 90 minutes. (This will help the breading
to stick to the wings when fried.)

Put all the wings into the hot oil and fry them for 10 to 15
minutes or until some parts of the wings begin to turn dark brown.
Remove the wings from the oil to a paper towel to drain. But don't
let them sit too long, because you want to serve the wings hot.

Quickly put the wings into a large bowl. Add the hot sauce
and stir, coating all the wings evenly. You could also use a large
plastic container with a lid for this. Put all the wings inside
the container, add the sauce, put on the lid, and then shake. Serve
with Bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks on the side.
