Directions
Hot Sauce1. Making the hot sauce: Heat a pot on medium and add olive oil. Add onion, habanero, cherry tomatoes, white vinegar, maple syrup, and sea salt. Bring it to a boil and let simmer for 20 minutes until tomatoes are juicy. Pour sauce into food processor and add garlic. Mix.
2. Making the brine: Into a large bowl add water, raw sugar and sea salt. Stir until dissolved. Throw in chicken wings, making sure they are completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 1 to 3 hours. Remove wings and pat dry.
Chicken Wings1. Heat canola oil in a large pot to 350F.
2. Making the wings: Into a bowl add flour, paprika, cayenne, oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, sea salt, and pepper. Mix. Lightly dredge the wings in the flour mixture. Fry the chicken wings a few at a time, careful not to crowd the pot or the temperature of the oil will fall too quickly. Fry for 6 minutes, until wings are deep golden brown. Drain on a wire rack. Toss wings in hot sauce and shake off excess sauce.
Blue Cheese Dip1. Making the cheese dip: To a bowl add mayonnaise, sour cream, gorgonzola, white wine vinegar, sea salt, and pepper. Blend using a hand blender.
Sides1. Serve wings with a side of carrots, celery, and blue cheese dip.
