Chicken : Hot 'n Spicy Chicken Wings

• 1/2 cup sour cream
  
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  
• 3 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
  
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  
• 1 tablespoon chopped green onion
  
• 2 teaspoons white wine vinegar
  
• 1/2 teaspoon Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce
  
• 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
  
• Salt to taste
  

• 12 chicken wings
  
• Vegetable oil for deep-frying
  
• 4 tablespoons melted butter or margarine
  
• 1 tablespoon Original TABASCO® brand Pepper Sauce
  
• 1 teaspoon ketchup
  

Combine all dip ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside.

Remove tips from chicken wings and discard; cut remaining wings in half and pat dry with paper towels. In a heavy saucepan heat about two inches of oil to 350°F on a deep-frying thermometer. Fry wings, a few at a time, about 6 minutes or until golden on all sides. Drain on paper towels, then place in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, mix butter, TABASCO^® Sauce, and ketchup. Pour over wings and toss until evenly coated. Serve hot with blue cheese dip. For larger quantities double or triple recipe.
