Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Prepare your baking pans by lining them with foil and lightly greasing with oil.
2
If you're using whole wings, chop them into two parts: drumettes and flats. In a large bowl, gently toss the chicken wings with vegetable oil and salt until evenly coated.
3
Transfer the coated wings to a large resealable plastic bag. Add the flour and shake vigorously to ensure an even coating of flour on each wing. Remove the wings from the bag, shaking off any excess flour.
4
Arrange the wings in a single layer on the prepared baking pan, making sure not to overcrowd them. Bake for 20 minutes, flip the wings, and continue baking for another 20 minutes or until they are crispy, golden brown, and cooked through.
5
While the wings bake, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the hot sauce, melted butter (or margarine), white vinegar, cayenne pepper, garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco sauce, and the remaining salt. Stir occasionally until the sauce is warm and mixed well, then remove from heat.
6
Once baked, transfer the hot wings to a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm sauce over the wings and toss gently using a spatula or spoon until each wing is generously coated.
7
Serve immediately with celery sticks and a generous portion of blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
