Ingredients:
3 pounds chicken wings (about 16), separated into wings and
6 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
1 1/2 teaspoons cayenne
1/4 cup canola oil or melted, unsalted butter
3 to 4 tablespoons hot sauce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream or plain yogurt
2 ounces (about 1/2 cup) crumbled blue cheese
4 celery ribs
drumettes
Salt to taste
For the sauce:
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Blue-cheese dressing:
Directions:
1. While this recipe is for frying wings, instructions for broiling and baking also are included.
2. For the wings: In a large (5- to 6-quart), deep, heavy pot, wok or deep-fat fryer, heat oil until a thermometer registers 375 degrees.
3. Meanwhile, rinse wings, pat dry and season with salt and cayenne. Carefully lower 6 or 7 wings into oil and stir occasionally until golden and crisp, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on size.
4. Using a slotted spoon, transfer wings to paper towels. Fry remaining wings, returning oil to 375 degrees between batches.
5. For the sauce: In a large skillet, heat oil or butter over moderately low heat; stir in hot sauce and salt and pepper. Set aside.
6. Add cooked wings to sauce and toss.
For the dressing: In a bowl, whisk mayonnaise and sour cream and stir in blue cheese. It will be chunky, not smooth. Dressing may be made eight hours ahead and chilled, covered.
Cut celery into thin sticks. Soak in a bowl of ice and cold water at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
To broil wings: Rinse chicken wings; pat dry and season with salt and cayenne pepper. Line two rimmed baking sheets with foil and oil it. Place wings on baking sheet in a single layer and broil 6 inches from heat source until golden brown and cooked through, rotating sheet occasionally, 10 to 15 minutes.

Recipe courtesy Alton Brown, 2004
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
3 pounds stew meat (beef, pork, and/or lamb)
2 teaspoons peanut oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 (12-ounce) bottle of beer, preferably a medium ale
1 (16-ounce) container salsa
30 tortilla chips
2 chipotle peppers canned in adobo sauce, chopped
1 tablespoon adobo sauce (from the chipotle peppers in adobo)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
Directions:
1. Place the meat in a large mixing bowl and toss with the peanut oil and salt. Set aside.
2. Heat a 6-quart heavy-bottomed pressure cooker over high heat until hot. Add the meat in 3 or 4 batches and brown on all sides, approximately 2 minutes per batch. Once each batch is browned, place the meat in a clean large bowl.
3. Once all of the meat is browned, add the beer to the cooker to deglaze the pot.
4. Scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Add the meat back to the pressure cooker along with the salsa, tortilla chips, chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, tomato paste, chili powder, and ground cumin and stir to combine. Lock the lid in place according to the manufacturer's instructions. When the steam begins to hiss out of the cooker, reduce the heat to low, just enough to maintain a very weak whistle. Cook for 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and carefully release the steam. Serve immediately.
Makes about 36 small brownies
Ingredients:
5 ounces bittersweet or semi sweet chocolate, chopped
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, chopped
8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
3 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
1 1/4 cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
Vegetable oil cooking spray
Directions:
1. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 360 degrees. Line an 8-inch square pan with foil, then coat lightly with vegetable oil spray. Melt the chocolates, butter, and cocoa in the microwave, stirring often, 1 to 3 minutes. Let the mixture cool slightly.
2. Whisk the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt together in a large bowl until combined, about 15 seconds. Whisk in the melted chocolate mixture until smooth. Stir in the flour until no streaks remain.
3. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few crumbs attached, 35 to 40 minutes.
4. Let cool completely on a wire rack to room temperature, about 2 hours, before removing the brownies from the pan using the foil and cutting into squares.
Note: To make ahead: The uncut brownies can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 3 days. Do not cut the brownies until ready to serve, or they will dry out.
