I always trim the chicken wings by cutting off the end tip. This can get very brittle and sharp in frying.
Pat dry the wings with kitchen paper and bring to room temperature
To start with making the hot sauce, add the butter to a small saucepan over a medium heat.
Once melted, add the crushed garlic and cook briefly for no more than 2 minutes. You don’t want to burn the butter or garlic so continually stir.
Then add the vinegar, sugar and hot sauce and thoroughly combine.
Carefully taste the mixture and season with salt and pepper to your tastes.
You will need to rewarm the sauce once the wings have been cooked.
To make the blue cheese sauce, place all of the ingredients into a glass mixing bowl and blend together until smooth. Hence the reason the onion has to be finely chopped so there are no chunks.
Turn on the deep fat fryer and set to 160C. When the temperature has been reached, carefully cook the chicken wings in small batches for 10 minutes.
When all of the wings have been cooked, raise the temperature to 190C and fry the chicken wings for a further 2 – 3 minutes. They should be a lovely deep crown with a crispy skin.
Carefully remove the chicken wings and place on kitchen paper to drain.
Using the warmed hot sauce, pour over the chicken wings in bowls or platters.
Serve with the blue cheese sauce as a dip.
