Step-by-step

• To hard boil the eggs, place the raw eggs at the bottom of a large pot.
• Pour water in the pot until the water is 1-2 inches over the top of the eggs.
• Place the pot on the stovetop uncovered and turn the burner to high heat.
• Bring the water in the pot to a boil.
• When the water comes to a full boil, cover the pot with a lid and turn off the heat to the burner.
• Leave the pot on the burner, covered, for 11-13 minutes.
• While the eggs sit in the covered pot, fill a mixing bowl ½ way with ice water.
• When the time is up on the eggs, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the pot and transfer them to the bowl of ice water to stop them from cooking.
• Leave them in the bowl of ice water for a few minutes until fully cold.
• Peel the eggs under cold running water.
• Slice the eggs in half lengthwise and scoop the yolks out into a mixing bowl.
• Use a fork to mash the yolks as much as you can.
• Add a little splash of water to the mashed egg yolks and mash again to get them smooth.
• Add the wing sauce and blue cheese dressing and stir together until well combined and smooth.
• Spoon or pipe this filling back into the hollows of the egg whites.
• Sprinkle paprika over the tops of the eggs and if using, top with the celery and carrot garnish.
