Toby's Buffalo Wings!
 
20 chicken wings, small wing joint removed, then halved (wing, and drumettes)
1 1/2 cups hot sauce
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 chicken bouillon cube, powdered
Peanut oil, for frying
1 cup fish fry (seasoned corn flour)
1/2 cup corn meal
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt
Black pepper
 
Blue Cheese Dressing:
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped parsley leaves
1 tsp minced shallots
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/4 pound blue cheese, crumbled
Celery and carrot sticks for serving
 
Season wings with salt and pepper. Place the wing pieces in a zip bag and add 1 cup of the hot sauce, Worcestershire, and chicken bouillon. Mix thoroughly, being sure all the wings are coated, cover and refrigerate overnight.
Pour the oil for frying in a large pot to a depth of 2 inches and heat over medium heat to 375 degrees F. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Mix the flour, fish fry, and corn meal in a mixing bowl. Dredge wings in the mixture and set onto a plate while oil heats to temp. Deep-fry the wings for 12 to 15 minutes in small batches (8-10 pieces at a time) until the batter achieves a crisp, uniform texture. When cooked through, drain on a raised platter and place in oven at 250 degrees until last batch of wings is done.  
To make the dressing: in a mixing bowl and using a wire whisk, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, parsley, shallots, and garlic, blending until smooth.  
Gently stir in the crumbled cheese until completely mixed in.
To serve, place the fried wings on a large platter. Serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce and celery sticks on the side – and plenty of napkins!
