1
Preheat deep fryer to 375.
-
2
I use a Fry Daddy which has no temp control but works great.
-
3
Prepare wings for frying by laying them out on paper towels and drying them somewhat.
-
4
This gives a nice crispy texture.
-
5
With a mortar and pestle, grind the celery seed.
-
6
Add in pepper, oregano, and marjoram and grind these to freshen them up.
-
7
Add the rest of the spices, minus the salt, to this.
-
8
Melt the butter in a small bowl.
-
9
I use 30 seconds in the microwave.
-
10
Add ketchup, vinegar and honey.
-
11
Whisk these until uniform.
-
12
Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
-
13
Taste and add salt if necessary.
-
14
This is your wing sauce base, which can serve as a mild sauce.
-
15
Add hot sauce to taste.
-
16
I make my first batch of wings mild, then increase heat for each batch thereafter.
-
17
Cook wings in batches sized appropriately for your deep fryer.
-
18
As always be very careful to avoid overflow.
-
19
About 2 minutes into cooking, stir or shake wings to break them apart.
-
20
Perform this procedure at the 6 minute mark also.
-
21
Fry wings until about 1 minute after they all float.
-
22
In my deep fryer this is 8 minutes per batch.
-
23
Place 2 dollops, a drip, and a dribble of sauce in a bucket.
-
24
Add wings straight from the fryer into this bucket.
-
25
Shake immediately to coat.
-
26
Serve hot with celery, carrots, and bleu cheese dressing.
