Serves
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Heat 2-1/2 inches of oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat to 360 degrees.
While the oil heats, mix together the cayenne, black pepper, salt, and the cornstarch in a small bowl.
Dry the chicken with paper towels and place in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the spice mixture over the wings and toss with a rubber spatula until evenly coated.
Fry half the chicken wings until golden and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the fried chicken wings to the baking sheet. Keep this first batch warm in the oven while frying the remaining wings.
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Whisk in the hot sauces, brown sugar, and vinegar until combined. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Pour the sauce mixture in a large bowl, add the chicken wings, and toss until the wings are uniformly coated.
Serve immediately with the carrot and celery sticks and blue cheese dressing on the side.
