Basic Buffalo Wings
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
18 chicken wings (about 3 pounds), disjointed, with tips discarded
Vegetable oil, for frying

Melt butter in a small sauce pan. Add hot sauce and remove from the heat. Set aside. In large frying pan or deep-fat fryer, heat 1-inch of oil to 360*F (180*C). Fry wings in batches, without crowding, for about 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.  Brush wings with spicy butter mixture and serve warm, with blue cheese dressing for dipping. Makes 36 appetizers.
