Steps

Prepare the Wings

Thoroughly wash and pat dry the chicken wings with paper towels. In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and sweet paprika. Toss the wings in the seasoned flour, ensuring they are fully coated. Set aside.

Make Blue Cheese Dip

In a medium bowl, crumble the blue cheese. Add the mayonnaise, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), buttermilk, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Fry the Wings

In a large, deep pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 175°C (350°F). Carefully place the coated wings into the hot oil in batches, avoiding overcrowding the pot. Fry for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Buffalo Sauce & Serve

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the hot sauce and white vinegar, then stir to combine. Heat through, but do not boil. Place the fried wings in a large bowl, pour the warm buffalo sauce over them, and toss thoroughly to coat all the wings. Serve immediately with the chilled blue cheese dip.

Extra Tips

► For even crispier wings, double-fry them: first at a lower temperature (160°C/325°F) for 10 minutes, then increase the heat to 190°C (375°F) and fry for another 5-7 minutes until golden brown and extra crispy.

► If you prefer not to deep-fry, you can bake the wings: toss them in the seasoned flour, then bake at 200°C (400°F) for 40-45 minutes, flipping halfway through.
