Recipe Instructions:

~---------For the dish:---------- ~---------For the dressing:---------- FOR THE Chicken WINGS, discard tips and heat the oil to a temperature of 375F in a deep-sided pot. Rinse the Chicken wings, and pat dry on paper towels. Mix the Butter with the Tabasco sauce, and set aside. Fry a batch at a time, being careful not to crowd the pot. Fry for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown. Drain in a single layer on paper towels, and repeat until all wings are fried. As the wings are fried, roll them in the Butter mixture. Keep the wings warm in a 200F Oven in a single layer. While the wings are frying, make the Dressing by combining the blue cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt, pepper, lemon Juice and vinegar in a small mixing bowl. Break up the Cheese with a fork, but do not beat until smooth. To serve, place the wings on a platter or plates, and serve with the Dressing and some celery sticks. Makes 36 pieces. The Dressing can be prepared up to two days in advance and refrigerated.
