Red-Hot Cajun Blue Cheese Wings

AmandaT143's Note:

These wings are absolutely delicious! They have just the right amount of spiciness along with the balance of flavor from the blue cheese. This recipe is definitely a winner. Great for parties, Friday or Saturday night dinners or any occasion. Note: You can substitute for any hot sauce that you like, I love to use Franks red hot sauce. Also, cooking time is not exact, it depends on how your frying and how many wings you do at a time.

This is a great wing recipe. I made as written with a couple of tweaks, I added 1 tablespoon whole wheat flour to the four mixture and combined all in a plastic bag and let sit in the refrigerator for about an hour. The whole wheat flour and refrigeration adds a little extra texture to the finished wings. The sauce is fabulous with the mix of the blue cheese dressing. I used Texas Pete hot sauce. Thanks for posting such a great recipe. *Made for fall 2009 PAC*
