Ingredients For the Home-made Bleu Cheese Dressing:

• 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar

• 1⁄2 cup milk

• 2 tablespoons fine-chopped yellow onions

• 1 clove garlic, crushed

• 1⁄4 cup parsley, minced

• 1 cup mayonnaise

• 1⁄4 cup bleu cheese (such as Rouge Caveman Blue), crumbled into fine pieces

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1⁄4 teaspoon salt

• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh-ground black pepper

• Pinch of cayenne pepper

Ingredients For the Wings:

• 1⁄4 pound butter or margarine (authentic), or you can use 1⁄2 cup of a bold O’Live A Little Extra Virgin Olive Oil

• 2 tablespoons bottled hot sauce or more to taste if you can take it (they use Frank’s Red Hot Sauce in Buffalo)

• 50 pieces of chicken wings, either center or upper portion

• Peanut oil for deep frying

• Celery sticks for garnish

Method Of Prep

1. Mix the wine vinegar with the milk and allow the milk to curdle. Add the yellow onion, garlic, parsley, mayonnaise, bleu cheese, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Mix well. Refrigerate before serving.

2. In a large skillet melt the butter or margarine over low heat, and stir in the hot sauce. Careful, this stuff may be too hot for your family. Try a bit that is mild first; then increase the amount of hot sauce to taste. Deep-fry the wing pieces in small batches in peanut oil at 385° for about 10 minutes, or until browned and crisp.

3. Drain on paper towels. (If you wish to avoid the fat in this dish, bake the wings in the oven at 400° for 25 minutes.) When all the wing pieces have been deep-fried, reheat the skillet containing the hot sauce, and toss the wings about in the hot sauce. Serve with the dressing for a dip and the celery sticks on the side.
