Here's an easy version of the tangy chicken wings that have captivated people all over the country.
To make them hotter, just use more Tabasco sauce.
Serve these with plenty of napkins.
~------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a bowl, beat together all of the dip ingredients until blended.
Set aside.
Remove the tips from the wings and discard.
Separate the first and second joints of the wings with a sharp knife.
Pat the wings dry with paper towels.
In a heavy saucepan, heat about 2 inches of oil to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer.
Fry the wings, a few at a time, for about 6 minutes, until golden brown on all sides.
Drain on paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix the butter, catsup and Tabasco sauce.
Toss the wings in the butter mixture to coat thoroughly.
Serve hot, and pass the dip and celery sticks.
