For the baking powder, I’ve tried a dry brine before and after I had baked and tossed the wings the wings themselves almost had a gritty or cakey texture. Is this just incorrect dry brining?
yeah the excess should come off during the brining process. usually it pulls out water which dissolves the excess salt and then drips down only do it a few hours before baking
I like the show and this how-to-tutorial so much that I have posted both the recipe and the Neil Degrasse Tyson episode on my FacePlant page in hopes of inducing a larger bunch of recipe and sauce submissions. Armed with following collected data, our community of wings eaters just might end the wars in Ukraine and the middle East. ("Middle Eats " ?)
I think it's a matter of taste. When we've used baking powder, the wings have come out crispy, but dry and salty. Our preference is simply to toss the wings in olive oil and lay them atop Lowry's seasoned salt, sprinkling the other side with Mccormick's Montreal Steak seasoning. They really don't stick to the pan, there's practically no prep (no dry brine or steaming), they take a mere 8-10 mins a side at 400F, and they come out delicious and juicy. Toss immediately in buffalo sauce and you're off to the races. The residual oil helps crisp the skin while the chicken fat renders and blends with the butter in the sauce to make a delectably adherent layer. So long as you start with room temperature wings and don't oversalt (or overcook), you should be in good shape.
Did you remove the dry brine before cooking? You should wipe as much of it as you can off before cooking or they end up unbearably salty. That being said, I don't dry brine my wings either, only when I cook a full bird. I bake mine in a pizza oven, rotating them frequently, til they're about medium rare. Then I toss into 400 degree oil and let them crisp up for a couple minutes. If you don't want to deep fry them, you could try an air fryer with a mist of neutral oil on them, but sadly nothing comes close to the crispiness of a deep fried wing.
Does steaming them reintroduce moisture in the skin that you were originally trying to eliminate with the dry brine?
So when making the spicier wings on the show do they mix butter with the hot sauce?

I need to step up my wing game! Thanks for the vid!
I may be a bit weird, because I don’t like my wings crispy.

thank god they put the butter in the sauce. wouldn't want to do too much work after the 46 minutes of cooking your wings
Those wings are not done 😂
Those don't look crispy....
Sponsored and not good. Woof
This is the worst recipe for hot wings. I ruined five pounds of wings. Too salty they shouldn’t have any salt and baking powder terrible recipe.
