Ingredients
20 whole chicken wings, washed well and patted dry
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 recipe Sunny's Sauce, recipe follows
Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce, recipe follows, for serving
Sunny's Sauce:
1 cup hot sauce (recommended: Frank's Red Hot original cayenne pepper sauce)
1 cup (2 sticks) melted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce:
1 cup crumbled blue cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Separate the chicken wings into drummettes and wings, discarding the wing tip joint. Place chicken wings and drummettes into a large, zip-top plastic bag or large brown paper bag. In a small bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Add the seasoned flour to the plastic bag and toss to coat well.
- Pour the chicken pieces and excess flour onto a baking sheet and spread evenly. Allow the chicken to sit on the floured baking sheet to dry out for about 1 hour.
- Preheat fryer or a large stockpot filled halfway with vegetable oil to 350 degrees F.
- Add chicken to hot oil and fry until cooked through and crispy, about 10 to 13 minutes.
- Place the wings in a large bowl and drizzle with half of Sunny's Sauce. Toss to coat well. Serve hot with the remaining Sunny's Sauce and Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce.
Sunny's Sauce:
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and set aside until ready to use.
Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce:
- Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir to combine. Serve immediately or store, covered and refrigerated, for up to 1 week before serving.
