Step #2 In a large bowl, mix the wings, oil, garlic, 1 1/2 tsps of the salt, & the cayenne.
Step #3 Arrange the wings in a single layer on two large baking sheets.
Step #4 Bake until just done, about 25 mins.
Step #5 Meanwhile, 1 tsp of the vinegar, sour cream, mix the mayonnaise, in a medium glass or stainless-steel bowl, blue cheese, the remaining 1/4 tsp salt, scallions, & the black pepper.
Step #6 In a large bowl, mix the ketchup, the remaining 4 tsps vinegar, & the Tabasco sauce.
Step #7 Add the wings & toss to coat.
Step #8 Serve the wings with the celery sticks & blue-cheese dressing alongside.
Step #9 Menu Suggestions: Pair these wings with more finger food.
Step #10 Corn on the cob would go nicely.
Step #11 Roasted potato wedges are a good alternative & can be cooked alongside the wings.
Step #12 Wine Recommendation: Beer is a no-brainer with the salt, spice, & heat of this barfly classic.
Step #13 For a more festive alternative, serve a crisp sparkling wine; it will refresh the palate & tame the heat of the dish.
