Ingredients

Chicken Wings

12 chicken wings (see note)
3 tbsp (25 g) cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1 tsp chili powder
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp onion powder
Canola oil, for frying

Sauce

½ cup (125 ml) hot sauce
¼ cup (55 g) butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) cider vinegar

Preparation

Chicken Wings

Preheat the oil in a deep fryer to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels or top with a wire rack.
On a work surface, section the chicken wings by cutting the joints to obtain 3 pieces. Discard the wing tips and keep the drumettes and wingettes. Pat dry with paper towels.
In a large bowl, combine the cornstarch, salt and spices. Add the wings and toss to coat. Fry half of the wings at a time in the hot oil for 15 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown. Watch out for splattering. Drain on the paper towels and keep warm.

Sauce

Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, bring all the ingredients to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 5 minutes or until the sauce has reduced by half. Pour into a large bowl. Add the cooked wings and toss to coat.
Serve immediately with blue cheese dip and celery sticks.
