-
1/2 cup mayonnaise
-
3 to 4 tablespoons hot sauce such as Frank's or Goya
-
1/4 cup plain yogurt
-
1 1/2 tablespoons cider vinegar
-
For blue-cheese dressing
-
2 ounces crumbled blue cheese (about 1/2 cup)4 celery ribs
-
3 pounds chicken wings (12 to 14)
-
1/2 stick (1/4 cup) unsalted butter
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (if grilling) or 6 cups vegetable oil (if deep-frying)
Instructions
- Make dressing:
- In a bowl whisk together mayonnaise and yogurt and stir in blue cheese (dressing will not be smooth). Dressing may be made 8 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
- Cut celery into thin sticks. Soak celery in a bowl of ice and cold water at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
- Cut off chicken wing tips, reserving for another use, and halve chicken wings at joint.
- To grill wings:
- Preheat grill.
- Pat wings dry. In a bowl rub 2 tablespoons oil onto wings and season with salt. Grill wings on an oiled rack set 5 to 6 inches over glowing coals until cooked through and golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes on each side.
- To deep-fry wings:
- In a large (5- to 6-quart) deep heavy kettle heat 6 cups oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 380° F. Just before oil reaches 380°F, pat dry 6 or 7 wings. Carefully lower wings into oil and fry, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, golden, and crisp, 5 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer wings to paper towels to drain. Pat dry and fry remaining wings in same manner, returning oil to 380°F between batches.
- In a large skillet melt butter over moderately low heat and stir in hot sauce, vinegar, and salt to taste. Add grilled or fried wings and toss to coat.
- Serve chicken wings warm or at room temperature with dressing and celery sticks.
