Applebee`s Chicken Wings

Heat oil in a deep fryer to 365 degrees F. Or, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

Add the wings to the fryer, in batches if needed, and fry until golden brown. If oven baking them, place the chicken wings in a baking dish. Place the wings in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 45 minutes or until cooked through.

Meanwhile, combine the hot sauce, butter, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne, and garlic powder in a saucepan. Whisk to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter melts and the sauce is warm.

Whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F (or reduce the temperature if you baked the wings).

When the chicken wings are cooked, toss them with the sauce and return to the oven. Bake for 20 minutes at 300 degrees F, turning frequently and basting with the sauce as needed.

Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping.
