Servings: 2- 4 servings.





What you need:





Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

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 & celery sticks



Ready, set, cook!





1. 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.



2. 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.



3. Combine the flour, paprika, cayenne pepper, and salt in a small

bowl. If the wings are frozen, be sure to defrost and dry them.



4. 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.)



5. 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.



6. 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.
