Wings and assembly

  1. Marinate the wings overnight with some extra brown sugar and Kentucky Bourbon,
  2. Heat the oil in a deep, heavy pot until it reaches 190° C.
  3. Fry the wings, in batches, until golden, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  4. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan, add the vinegar and hot sauce and stir until blended.
  5. When all the wings are cooked, place the wings in a large bowl, pour the sauce over and toss to coat.
  6. Serve warm, with the blue cheese dressing and celery sticks.

Adapted from a recipe by Teressa Bellissimo, of the Anchor Bar and Restaurant in Buffalo, N.Y. The concept of cooking wings in peppery hot sauce was born in 1964 at the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, when co-owner Teressa Bellissimo cooked leftover wings in hot sauce as a late-night snack for her son and his friends.
