Wings : Chipotle Buffalo Wings with Blue Cheese Dip

• 1/2 cup sour cream
  
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  
• 1/2 (4-ounce) package blue cheese, crumbled (about 1/4 cup)
  
• 2 teaspoons TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
  
• 1 clove garlic, minced
  
• Salt to taste
  

• 3 pounds chicken wings (about 12)
  
• Oil for deep-frying
  
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
  
• 1/2 to 1 (5-ounce) bottle TABASCO® brand Chipotle Pepper Sauce
  
• Celery sticks
  

Combine all ingredients for dip in a small bowl and set aside. Remove chicken wing tips and discard; cut wings in half at joints. Heat 2 inches of oil in a deep-fryer to 375°F; fry chicken until crisp and golden brown, about 10 minutes. Drain well and place in a large shallow container.

Melt butter in a small saucepan; stir in TABASCO^® Chipotle Sauce to taste and heat through. Drizzle over chicken wings and toss well. Serve warm with celery sticks and blue cheese dip.
