Buffalo-style Wings
- 12 whole chicken wings
- Salt
- Juice of 2 lemons
- Olive oil
- 2 bunches baby carrots, tops removed
- Juice of 3 large carrots
- 1/2 habanero
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/2 cup white wine vinegar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Canola oil, for frying
- 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese, for serving
- Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
- Toss the chicken wings in a bowl along with a sprinkling of salt, half of the lemon juice and 1/4 cup olive oil.
- Transfer wings to a baking sheet and roast until the fat has begun to render and the skin starts to get crispy, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Very carefully slice the carrots on a mandoline, then drop the slices into a bowl of ice water until ready to serve.
- Before serving, drain the carrots and add them to a serving dish.
- Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt.
- Add the carrot juice, habanero, honey, white wine vinegar and the remaining lemon juice to a saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Bring to a boil and cook until reduced by half, 20 minutes.
- Finish the sauce with the butter, stirring until completely melted and fully integrated.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
- Keep warm.
- Add 4 inches of oil to a large Dutch oven and heat to 375 degrees F. Remove the chicken wings from the oven and, in batches, fry them in the oil until the skin is crispy, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Remove each batch of fried wings to a large bowl, add some of the reduced carrot sauce and toss to coat.
- Serve the wings on a platter, garnished with the blue cheese.
- Serve with the dressed carrots.
