OMG, I watched this video again after you replied to my comment & it's LOADED with comedy GOLD! Beverage budget, stay hydrated, dirty bird, polaroid, Stevie Wonders book shelf, wife: "we can work with this", WWE match, packing peanut covered in ranch... sheesh!
Thanks buddy glad you liked the weird little jokes I put in. I appreciate you watching twice my friend.
Love the Cameo with your son. Nothing better than trying to do something with their help
Thanks Rod. It was my day to watch him and I figured what's more important than teaching your son how to make wings!
Great Dad, Super jokes!! Love your channel, always makes me smile! Thanks for that, and a new way to do some wings!
Thanks Martin!
Dude, you are such a positive vibe. First time viewer, subbed 30 seconds in.
Thank you so much that's very kind of you to say. Also thanks for subscribing man. This is very helpful, it lets me know what to do more of in the future.
Little man was enjoying the taking out Dad moves .
Ya he was definitely giving me the business Jerry.
Flats. Drums may have more meat but flats are easier to eat.
Good point gene.
Flats! From your neighbor in Pennsylvania! Your humor is hysterical! Keep up the good work!
Hey Lisa, so glad you enjoy it. I really appreciate you watching.
Wings in my Air Fryer are fantastic! Seem like too much trouble on the griddle. I love the "flats" and you like the "drums", a match made in wing heaven! I had a friend in high school who only liked the frosting on the cake and I only liked the cake and not the frosting! So 1 piece of cake at lunchtime between the two of us, was perfect!
I just got my wife an air fryer for Christmas!!! I need to give wings a try. How do you do them? That's too funny about the cake.
Your Uncle Jerry is a wise man. Dry brines are really great. Thanks for the video.
Yes he is, and thanks my friend.
Darn good to see one of your videos again. Your son is growing. I agree. Smoker, but noble effort, and great info for a gotta do wings in a pinch.
Thanks buddy.
I love both but drums are my favorite if I had to pick. This is awesome idea.
Thanks buddy. I'm also a fan of drums especially for dipping in Blue Cheese.
Awesome Vid My Friend. I buy the pre-cut wings. Already divided in flats and drumlets. Never tried them on the Griddle. Have done them on my smoker. Those were 🔥 🔥 🔥. Hope all is well with you and yours during this holiday season. Be Blessed. 😊
Tha ks Shawn. Ya the precut ones are very nice. Sometimes I get a better price on the whole ones so I end up getting them a lot. I hope you and your family are having a great holiday season as well.
@JohnnyBrunet I can understand the saving $ thing. That's why I like to watch you. You grill on a budget. Like most Americans nowadays.
Nice to see another vid Johnny! Hope you're keeping well, happy holidays to you and yours! Greetings from Germany 👍🍻
That ks buddy, happy holidays to you and yours as well. Drink a few German beers for me!
Flats are best. I just bought a turkey fryer for wings. They were great, and the mess was minimal. I started them in unheated oil and I was able to make a ton of wings at once.
Ya one day I'm definitely going to get a turkey fryer as well.
Awesome. You definitely have your hands full with a redhead 3 year old!! Love it, you're a great dad. Btw. Flats all day.
Lol ya he's a handful but it's a lot of fun. This is a great age. Thanks so much for the kind words.
Drums they look so good yum
Thanks!
Great video as always!
I also woulda liked to see how you did the clean up on this particular job
Thanks, I'll definitely do a video on cleaning up sauce. It involved a lot of water lol.
@@JohnnyBrunet ha! I can imagine
My family's favorite wings come off the kettle grill with a Vortex.
I don't think the griddle will replace those.
But I appreciate the video.
I haven't had a quiet meal to myself in 4 years.
I also found it easier to just cook the wings whole and pull them apart when I eat them.
That's a good idea about cooking them whole I've never tried that. I just got my dad the vortex for Christmas for his Webber. I hope he likes it , it got great reviews online.
I'm sure he'll love it. It's the accessory I use most on my weber. And the wings have even received the illustrious father-in-law compliment.
@@Herman_vi oh dang that's very high praise!!
Yup, for something so simple, the Vortex ( two sides for different uses ) works surprisingly well. Good to spray oil on the wings while cooking to crisp them up.
My daughter likes the flats. I usually use one of those mini-hatchet things to chop through the wings.
Use the wide side of the Votex to put a nice sear on things, but I had to do one porkchop at a time the other day when reverse searing cause I did chicken thighs ( dripping with juice when finished ) and then the porkchops.
Your dad will love the Vortex. The sound and imagined smell of those wings searing in that sauce was awesome. I would probably get some Szechuan sauce if I was going to griddle some wings. I always break out my giant level when I try to set set up my grill with my griddle insert. Good thing I am quick and ambidextrous. :-)
I've never been much of a wing man. Probably won't start with this griddle recipe but I did thoroughly enjoy the video. The time you spend with your son at his age is priceless. The time you don't spend with him will forever haunt you. It looks and sounds like to me, you have this figured out. Cheers, my friend!
Thanks Danny, I try to spend as much time as I can but I appreciate the reminder from someone who's been there. Gotta keep my priorities straight.
Johnny great video but what I would have done after you sauce them I would have put them in the oven to keep them warm and let the sauces create and then cook another batch LOL😊😊
Thanks Ross, glad you liked the video!
Drums if I have a choice but not turning away the flats!
Oh ya definitely not turning away any wings.
Here we are just tossing wings in a tiny bowl on youtube for all the world to see... LMAO!!! There's the comedian in you coming out.
🤣🤣🤣
Stevie oneder from Erie PA
😁😁😁
I personally like the drums of the wings. Oh yes, best to stay hydrated 🍺
I can not wait until spring to get my Blackstone 17” griddle -bbq combo fired up, to start doing wings.
Great videos keep them coming. Oh, what was your sons’ opinion of your wings?
Ya I'm counting down days until spring as well. He did not like the wings at all. I gave him a little sauce and he said "gross". Then I had to make him a PB&J.
Flats are my jam.😅
Nothing wrong with that.
So, what about Smoking the wings first, then after coating wings in sauce placing them on the griddle to sear to finish??? BTW, Love the wrestling match.
I think I need to try that technique next. Glad you were entertained by the wrestling lol.
Yeah, I've tried wings on my griddle a few times, but wasn't impressed. I prefer them fried, sauce them up and then charred on my grill. As far as flat or drums, flats come 1st and then drums, but if there are only drums, I'm just as happy, cause I'm eating winds, lol. Oh, I would of given that instigator the OLE DUSTY ELBOW, LOL HEY, how are those T-shirts coming, lol. Merry Christmas and GRIDDLE ON DUDE.
Hey Bruno! I agree that I'm not upset with either flats or drums. I break out the old dusty elbow next time lol.
hell yeah , smoke them first the finish them on the griddle
You're about the third person to say that Jeremy so it sounds like I got another video to make asap! Thanks Brother
@JohnnyBrunet content brother!!
Flats all the way! But clipping off the tip is mandatory you heathen!! (I'm still sub'd...keep it up)
lol thanks buddy. Glad you could look past the tips 😂
I like chicken drumsticks , and flat wings.
I'm a fan of drumsticks too. Especially where they go in sale, which seems to happen a lot at my grocery store.
So Flats first of all but I'd never turn down a drummie neither.... If I have a mess of wings to make (that's two and a half bunches) and I'm starting off with frozen (I know - - gasp) - I'll use the Ninja Foodi pressure cook then they get air fried - about the time they start to pick up color and get crispy I'll drop them in a large bowl and sauce them (though not to the "wet" point) then they go on the griddle for a couple minutes on each side - back in the sauce.
Years ago (before they were bought by some fast food company) BW3's would put their sauced wings on the grill ala Ricky Bobby Style - my wings aren't quite as good because they don't start out deep fried but they are a fraction of the price and usually take about the same time as you can order them and then wait when you pick them up....
For bonus points - what's your favorite Professional Wrestler?
Mine has to be George the animal Steele
I'd never turn down any wing either my friend lol. I still need to get me an air fryer. I hear good things about those, especially for wings. Ricky Bobby Style lol I've never heard it called that. Your method sounds pretty darn good my friend. And like you said I'm sure it's a lot cheaper.
Oh and my favorite wrestler from my time growing up was probably Stone Cold. Gotta love a man who's always drinking.
Bookshelf built by Stevie Wonder...hilarious! 😂😂😂
😁😁😁
Nice to have a wing man to help.
Lol yup he's definitely my wing man 🤣🤣🤣
Flats or drums with blue cheese never ranch.
Same here.
if you don't pull it while you shake it it isn't playing with it.😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Dude! Flats all day bro!
Nothing wrong with that.
I love good wings but it’s difficult to find good wings at a restaurant.
Very true.
Yep you tooted 😂
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤣 he's a comedian. Thanks for watching.
Flat
Drums, not even close for me. More meat and less fat.
Also I think the drums are better for dunking.
Shakin' vs playn' 🤔
🤣🤣🤣
I like my wings fried brother!
Me too my friend. Definitely the best way to go.
@@JohnnyBrunet I trust your waistline is doing better than mine during this glutenous season of debauchery?
@@RustySprocket I don't know mine seems to be growing daily lol.
I never made wings before and used your prep method to get them crispy. I grilled em and they were fantastic. Thank you for all the videos! I don’t even own a griddle yet and I love watching.
Awesome! I'm so glad they worked out for you. And I really appreciate you watching even though you don't have a griddle. Hopefully you get one soon.
Wow, how is that you didn't rinse your meat off before cooking them😮😮😮.
Clean those fingers with some Aunt Millie’s Texas Toast
Amen!
Roosters is pretty good but you can’t beat homemade wings in the Blackstone
Another great video, Johnny! Off the topic quick question: I'm ready to buy a griddle but I want natural gas. None of the major griddle companies sell a kit ready-made for NG. Some offer conversion kits. Thoughts? Ideas? And once again, thank you for not only the great griddling recipes and ideas, but for the comedy relief as well!!
Hey sorry for the delayed response. I saw your other comment as well. Did you get the griddle yet? I am not aware of any ready made NG griddles other than really high end ones in the couple thousand dollar range. People have told me that they did the conversion and don't think it's too difficult. I would go that route.
@@JohnnyBrunet Hi Johnny, No, not yet. I've decided on the Blackstone 36" Culinary Omnivore but haven't purchased it yet. A conversion kit can be purchased to make it NG. Thanks for checking up and I'll let you know when I'm ready to griddle! Keep your videos coming!!
@@gmoney9068 awesome! Definitely let me know how you like it.
Great video Johnny! I did this the other weekend, practically identical steps. I fully agree the smoker is the way to go, BUT: If it;s rainy, you want wings, and your griddle is high/dry in the garage... I'll take it. I mean its wings, wings fall into my bacon wrapped "whatever" category.... There good no matter what.
Thanks brother. Ya I agree even mediocre wings are still better than like 90% of the other foods options out there lol.
I recommend that you boil or steam your wings first. This will help render some fat in the skin to make them crispier. Also, toss the wings in baking powder along with the salt before they go in the refrigerator overnight. You can use a free plastic grocery store bag for the tossing. The baking powder needs to be in direct contact with the skin to do its magic (it probably needs some time too) and I’m not sure that you’re giving the BP a fair chance by tossing it in with the sauce minutes before going on the grill. Also, if you cut the wing tips off, it will make it easier to eat the meat on the flats, unless you like gnawing on bones. I use my thumb and forefinger on both hand to shove the skin and meat down about half an inch to break everything clear of the bone, repeat on the other end and then slide the meat off the bones. There’s definitely one direction to slide the meat off that works best (I believe it’s down from the end that was attached to the drumette down towards the end that was attached to the wing tip). Let me know if anything is unclear. If so, I might be able to find a video. This technique is awesome because all of the meats comes off in three, simple, quick steps.
I've never boiled or steamed them, I'll have to try that. That's a super interesting way to eat them I will have to try that. It sounds like it would make it a lot easier. Thanks for all the tips my friend.
Hilarity ensues! Thank you for being real, love the comment at 5:36 where a "toot" is exclaimed and you confirmed. BTW, will try wings on the griddle whilst camping, keep on making vids.
Thanks Joel, glad you liked it. Definitely give them a try.
How you gonna make wings and not bring us any?
Downvote.
He said "Skin side down" what side didn't have skin?
2:28 Baa dum bum, he's here all week folks!
Wing joints like Hooters & BWW cut the tip off wings because it creates additional square inches of surface to cover in sauce & for the quantity of wings they move, that can add up to gallons of extra sauce pretty quick.
That totally makes sense. Thanks for sharing brother. I never thought of it that way.
Love my drums. More meat!
GOOD VIDEO JOHNNY ,,,, I'LL DRINK TO THAT !!!!! THANK you Frank from montana......
Thanks Frank!
Flats for life
I like the flats
Definitely prefer the flats/flappers! I was very sad to see Smokehouse Brewing close...
Ya we were too. That was my wife and U's first date.
shallow fry wings . work. good job..
That's a good idea too Scotty.
Flats for me. I think your sous chef, needs a contract😂😂😂. Nothing better than wings and lil’ kids. Glad to see your hydration regime is back to somewhat normal. Stay thirsty my friend.
Oh ya back on track to stay hydrated for the holidays!
Flats #1
Johnny, do you still work in a restaurant? What is your day job now if not. Enjoy your videos. Haven't purchased a grill just yet.
No I don't work in food anymore. I now work at a place that sells fireplaces and grills/smokers. So I'm still in food but not food service. Thanks so much for watching, I'm so glad that you enjoy the videos.
Put some food in his face. Lol my 3 yr old granddaughter would do the same. But the 1 yr old would house those wings.
🤣🤣🤣 ya when he was younger he would have loved to eat them too. He's gotten a lot more picky the older he's gotten. Thanks for watching.
Anything cooked on a griddle is good. Period. End of story. Mmmmmmmm. 👍🏻✌🏻💙
You got that right!
Bro simple but good recipes. You have made me fall in love with my outdoor cooking.
Awesome man, I'm glad I could help encourage you to cook more. Thanks so much for watching buddy.
Thanks for another great video. I love drumsticks and I had a good laugh at the engraved knife!
Glad you liked the knife!
Now your next video should be how you clean your sticky griddle up, 😂.
For real, that was a little extra time for that clean up.
i put a bit of liquid smoke in with my sauce and cook it some in a big metal bowl on the griddle before tossing
Interesting, I need to give that a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
Love the segment! I freakin ❤ your humor! Cheers! 🍻
Thanks Dennis.
i like drums, my wife likes flats. Match made in grilling heaven
Perfect! That's too funny.
I cut my wings the same way you do - leave the wingtip on. Nice video.
That ks buddy, I appreciate you watching.
Looking good! Can’t wait to throw some wings on my griddle!
Thanks!
I did a video of smoked wings on my channel they were delicious. A little hot but delicious. I’ll send a link with Johnny’s permission.
Go right ahead Steve. I'll check it out.
@@JohnnyBrunet thanks Johnny!
How many of your viewers know what a polaroid is?
Lol probably more than you would think. I'm pretty sure I have an audience that's older than me.
When I have wings with my friends, they always want the flats. I don't care because the sauce is the most important part. Oh, and beer. 🍺
Edit: I forgot, the most important thing for me is that the skin is crispy. I've had wings with the greatest sauce, but they were slimy and awful.
I agree definitely don't want anything to do with slimy wings. And yes sauce and beer are the next most important things for sure. Thanks for watching Scott.
Need a new channel, WWE with your son
🤣🤣🤣
Flats all day long!
Nothing wrong with that;
Great helper!
He sure is.
In the video you said baking SODA, I think you meant to say baking POWDER (because that's what you used)
Yes that's correct Tim. Thanks for catching that. I do that all the time 🤦♂️.
@@JohnnyBrunet Thanks for all your great (and entertaining) videos. I'm 77 (almost 78) and juststarted using a griddle. I can use all the helpI can get 🤣
@@timhackman8901 that's awesome Tim, you're never too old to start griddling. I really appreciate you watching my Friend and I'm glad it's helpful.
Another superb video amigo! Really enjoyed seeing your co-star in this one! Some great humor, playing with it, Stevie wonder, Polaroid, etc. You’re on top of your game. I like flats best I guess, but drums are just as good. Am I the only one who sometimes cooks regular chicken drum sticks like wings?? That’s become a Super Bowl tradition for me. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
You are NOT the only one DRUMMING! My local store sells 10 LB drums for $10 (basically $2 LB for meat after bone loss). I spread my drums on a wire rack, salt & season lightly, refrigerate overnight, "cold smoke" (stainless steel HEX tube from AMAZON) on the gas grill for 2 hours & then light it up! I prefer to smoke 'em, sauce 'em & grill 'em so the sauce is nice & sticky, but I typically end up sharing w/ my roommate who can't handle SPICY, so we use a few different plates for 3~4 "dipping" sauces vs tossed sauce.
Thanks Rick, glad you liked this one. I've done the drummies as well they are definitely a good option. And usually pretty cheap. Merry Christmas to you and your family as well my friend
I smoke or deep fry them, then sauce and put in the griddle for char. A restaurant in town called it Daytona style
Nice! Someone else said it was called Ricky Bobby style 😁. Which matches up with Daytona.
@@JohnnyBrunet help I'm on fire!
@@OleDuke 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have made wings a few times on the indoor griddle and cooked them at 400 degrees to get color and char but they came out good.
That's good to know guy. Did you put sauce on the indoor griddle or sauce them afterwards?
@@JohnnyBrunet since I was using hot sauce with butter and honey I sauced afterwards. Less mess on the griddle.
@@IndyGuy65 good idea.
My move is smoking them first, then finish on the griddle. It works!
I definitely need to try that next Robert.
@@JohnnyBrunet You'll be glad you did! Smokey AND crispy!
Flats are favorite, but I'm not fussy about my wings. You don't look old enough to know anything about shake it like a Polaroid picture. I love the real life commentary and not editing everything out. Yes, you tooted is priceless in the middle of describing your griddle wings!
Hahaha I was young but I definitely was around for polaroids. It was all the rage one Christmas when I was about 6. Glad you liked this style and got a kick out of me and my sone. Thanks for watching Curtis.
They look incredible! I love the char from putting them back on the griddle after saucing.
Ya they definitely got a nice char Dale.
That’s a lot of love going on there. Enjoy every moment with your son-I know you do.
Thank you, I will
Sent to fast uncle Jerry is a very smart man !!!!!
Lol yes he is Frank!
