Ingredients

Sauce

3 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons garlic infused olive oil
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 small clove garlic finely minced
1/8 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon granulated garlic
3-4 tablespoons blue cheese crumbled
3/4 teaspoon lemon juice fresh squeezed
1/2 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 pinch dried parsley

Wings

1 pound chicken wings
oil for frying
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1 tablespoon cracked pepper or coarse ground pepper
1/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for more heat

Instructions

Mix all of the dry ingredients for the wings together in a bowl. Toss the chicken wings into the dry mixture until they are lightly coated. Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy bottom pot with high sides until it reaches 375 degrees. Fry the wings for 8-10 minutes.
While the wings are frying, make your sauce in a different bowl large enough to hold all the wings. Combine all remaining ingredients to make the vinaigrette, setting 1 tablespoon blue cheese and parsley aside to use for later. Whisk or blend the vinaigrette thoroughly (I used our Blendtec to really emulsify the ingredients, but a whisk will do as long as you stir it well right before coating the wings).
Remove wings from oil once completely cooked, and set on a paper towel to absorb oil drippings. Add wings to sauce and toss to coat. There may be some unused sauce left over in the bowl after coating the wings. Top with remaining blue cheese and parsley, and serve immediately.
