Chipotle Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Dip

Serves 6

Blue Cheese Dip:

  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 (4-ounce) package blue cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt to taste

Chicken Wings:

  • 3 pounds chicken wings (about 12)
  • Oil for deep-frying
  • 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  • 1/2 to 1 (5-ounce) bottle TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
  • Celery sticks

Combine all ingredients for dip in a small bowl and set aside. Remove chicken wing tips and discard; cut wings in half at joints. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep-fryer to 375°F; fry chicken until crisp and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain well and place in a large shallow container.

Melt butter in a small saucepan; stir in TABASCO® Chipotle Sauce to taste and heat through. Drizzle over chicken wings and toss well. Serve warm with celery sticks and blue cheese dip.
