- 1/2 tsp powdered stevia
- 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions
Wings
- Add the wings to a large mixing bowl and season with the lemon-pepper seasoning and toss to coat. Allow to sit for a few minutes, so flavors can permeate into the chicken.
Blue Cheese Dipping Sauce
- In a small bowl, mash the blue cheese into the buttermilk and sour cream. Mix in the sugar and the apple cider vinegar, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Procedure
- Add the wings to a 350-degree deep-fryer and fry until cooked through and golden and crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. You may need to do this in batches.
Sauce
- Meanwhile, while wings are frying, melt butter in small saucepan over medium-low heat with the garlic. Transfer to a large bowl and whisk in the hot sauce, brown sugar, vinegar, and Worcestershire sauce until combined.
- Remove wings from fryer and drain on a paper towel lined sheet tray. Immediately sprinkle with Mike's Wing Sprinkle.
- Add fried wings to the large bowl of sauce and toss until well combined and wings are well coated. Serve immediately after tossing the wings with the sauce. Serve with the blue cheese dipping sauce and celery and carrot sticks.
