Classic Hot Wings

Sometimes I just crave a good classic hot wing. And this Ree Drummond recipe won't let you down, she always has an extra punch.

Canola oil, for frying

24 chicken wing parts (12 wings separated into 2 pieces)

One 12-ounce bottle cayenne hot pepper sauce, such as Frank's

1 stick butter

Several dashes Worcestershire sauce

Several dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco

Blue cheese dip, for serving

Celery sticks, for serving

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Heat 3 inches of canola oil in a heavy pot to 375 degrees F.

Add half the chicken wing parts to the oil and fry them until they're golden brown and fully cooked, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the other half of the wing parts.

In a saucepan, heat the cayenne sauce and butter over medium-low heat. Add the Worcestershire and hot sauce. Let it bubble up, and then turn off the heat.

Place the wings in an ovenproof dish and pour the hot sauce over the top. Toss to coat, and then bake in the oven for 15 minutes.

Serve with blue cheese dip, celery sticks... and your favorite cold, fizzy beverage.
