In the dish closest to the deep fryer combine flour and cayenne pepper (note: add more cayenne pepper to increase the heat of your wings). Coat chicken wings in egg mixture, then flour mixture and fry in deep fryer approximately 4 minutes or until cooked through and flesh is no longer pink. In a small sauce pan melt the butter, then add the franks hot sauce. Continue heating another minute or until the sauce is warm. Coat chicken wings in sauce mixture and serve with blue cheese dressing for dipping along with carrot and celery sticks.
