- Heat the oven to 250° F/120° C.
- Let the chicken wings sit at a room temperature for about half an hour.
- Add butter to a small saucepan and melt it over a medium heat.
- Combine the next four ingredients (hot sauce, cayenne, ½ tsp. pepper, and ¼ tsp. salt) and stir until well combined.
- Take the pan off the heat and set aside.
- Add oil to a large heavy pot and heat over a medium-high heat.
- Meanwhile, put the cornstarch into a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.
- Cooking in 3 batches, dip wings in cornstarch, shake off the excess, and dip them into oil.
- Fry for about 10 to 12 minutes, turning occasionally, or until the wings are cooked through.
- Place the wings on a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet and then transfer the sheet to the oven to keep them warm while you’re preparing the rest of the wings.
- Place wings into a large bowl, add the prepared and warmed sauce, and toss to coat.
- Serve with celery and blue cheese dressing for dipping.
