How to Make

  • MAKE THE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING

  • Step 1: In a large bowl, mix all ingredients together until combined. Place in the refrigerator to chill.

  • TO MAKE THE BUFFALO SAUCE

  • Step 2: Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, 3-4 minutes.

  • Step 3: Add bell peppers and chilies and sauté for 5 minutes. Pour in Frank's sauce and bring to a simmer.

  • Step 4: Add celery salt and Cholula sauce and let simmer, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes more. Add honey mustard and let simmer, stirring occasionally, until sauce reduces by about 10%, for about 15 minutes more. Set aside.

  • TO FRY THE WINGS

  • Step 5: Heat oil to 375 degrees in a medium pot over medium-high heat, using a thermometer to monitor temperature.

  • Step 6: Working in batches of four or five, fry wings in oil, flipping once halfway through cooking, until golden brown all over, 8-10 minutes.

  • Step 7: Remove chicken with slotted spoon and transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

  • Step 8: Add wings to Buffalo sauce and toss to coat. Serve wings with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing.

  • NOTE: If you want to tone down the heat, cut the number of chilies in half.
