Crazy Hot Chicken Wings

Make these as hot as you dare to,
make sure you have plenty of celery
and bleu cheese dipping sauce,
and don't forget the knapkins!

Ingredients:
2 lbs. party wings
2 tablespoons achiote chili powder
24 chiles de arbol, stemmed
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 cup water
1 clove garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Directions:
In a small saucepan with the water
and 1 cup of the vinegar,
simmer the chiles de arbol,
garlic and achiote chili powder
for about 20 minutes.
In a blender or with a stick blender,
purée the liquid, garlic and chilis.
Strain the liquid; add remaining
vinegar and onion powder.
Replace on stove at low heat
and whisk in the butter until melted.
Thaw wings and toss in salt and pepper.
Place in a deep fryer or large pot
with about 4 inches of vegetable
or canola oil; heat to 325°F;
gently place wings in oil
and cook for about 10 minutes.
You should do this in 2 or 3 batches.
Remove wings to a bowl until all cooked;
then pour the hot sauce
and toss to coat evenly.
Arrange on a plate with celery sticks.
