Ingredients
12 whole chicken wings
1/2 cup flour
1/2 tsp pepper
1 egg
1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing, plus more for serving
enough oil, for cooking
Instructions
Slice 12 chicken wings in half at the joint and cut off wing tips. Stir 1/2 cup flour and 1/2 tsp pepper in a bowl.
Whisk 1 egg with 1/2 cup blue cheese salad dressing in another bowl. Working with one wing at a time, toss in flour mixture, then egg mixture and finish by lightly coating in flour once more.
Pour enough oil into a heavy large pot to reach a depth of 1/2 in. Heat over medium. Add half of wings and cook until deep golden and cooked through, 4 to 5 min per side. Adjust heat as needed.
Remove wings to paper towels. Repeat with remaining ingredients. Serve immediately with more blue cheese dressing on the side.
Kitchen Tip:
To check the temperature of the oil, try this trick: Put a bamboo skewer or wooden chopstick into the oil, making sure it touches the bottom of the pot. If the oil fizzes up gently around the chopstick, it's ready to go.
