      Quick question - I hate the little baby feathers left behind and really struggle to get them off when I'm cleaning my chicken. Is there an easier way to remove them or just scrape until they're clean?

    My husband is known for being the Wing Guy at our Superbowl Parties. He has made use of an electric fondue pot to keep his wing sauce warm thru the day so it's ready for each new batch of wings. He also orders some chicken skin from our local butcher for deep fried chicken skin bathed in sauce.

    Made your buffalo sauce and used it on baked wings (not nearly as good as fried, but easier) and it was so good! I never would have thought to add ketchup, but it rounds out the sauce so nicely! Thank you, chef!

  • @ryangriffithbass

    I'm from Rochester, which is close enough to be solidly within the original Buffalo wing orbit. Frank's is not only an industry standard, it's THE hot sauce that the original wings were made with. Frank's & melted butter, and anything else is more or less optional.
    Everything looks great, and I'm with you 100% about making your own blue cheese dressing. Thanks for the video, chef!

    Hi Chef. Regarding the oil, some places have the waste management center handle other kind of materials, like electronics, batteries and oil for example. Here where I live you can collect it and bring there free of cost and they'll take care of it. They may have a way of recycling. I remember my mom used to make soap with bad oil. Anyways, thanks for sharing your recipes and techniques. Cheers!

    Actually my fave is smoked wings!! But as far as bar wings go, I used to be in the Navy and we ported in Ft. Liquordale. There was this tiny little bar on A1A and all I can remember was that it was near some Parrot bar. Those wings were so good we ran them out of wings four days in a row!! The taste of those wings stayed with me for over 20 yes! I was on vacation and happened to stumble on to the same bar, not even realizing it was the original one I had visited. 20-some odd years later, I knew as soon as I took that first bite that I was at the bar!! It's been 10 years and I would just loove to go back and eat more of those wings, but I don't even know if they're still open. For me the secret lies in the sauce!! And those look like some damn good wings, Frank! Thanks.

    Hey Chef Frank! I love hot wings. There's a small family owned Italian grocer/take out here that makes amazing ones. I get them 1x a week.
    I use Frank's Red Hot powder to marinate my wings, but I don't like their sauce. I prefer Cholula! It's a game changer! I like a little breading. I season with seasoned salt and a light dusting of FRH Powder. Marinate for 20 min. Then I lightly toss them in AP flour and fry. I make my sauce with Cholula, unsalted butter, a little lemon juice and a little garlic powder.
    I love carrots and celery sticks. Wings just don't taste right without them 🧡

    Sometimea I add little bit of pickle juice from tge jar. Gives nice tang to the bleu cheese dressing. Also try serving these great wings with long grain rice.
    I like my wings baked in the oven before I introduce hot sauce to them in the pan. A bit on a healthier side this way.

    About disposal of oil, having staying in Japan for a few years, I come across two things; one is tea bag looking stuff that absorb the oil into itself, another is oil solidify which is some powder stuff which you pour into the oil, and it solidified the oil and you can dispose it accordingly. You can try find them at Amazon online etc
    But I think every places got their way of disposing oil, but just don’t pour it into the drain, it will cause problems in future to the drain

  • @justawalkingmess
    @justawalkingmess 2 года назад +1

    Not sure if it’s a Hispanic thing, but what we do with our oil is dump it into an old tin can (like you’d have for enchilada sauce, canned soup, etc.) and then stick it in the freezer. When the can is full, you toss it out with the rest of your garbage and repeat the process with another can. I think we freeze it just for easier disposal. If it’s a lot of oil, then we dispose of the oil the same way Chef Frank does. Tin can method is typically for smaller amounts of oil.

    Being from the Buffalo area it is nice to see someone eat chicken wings almost right. Blue cheese of course. (No ranch. NO NO NO !!!!!) I too also love the flat. It is the best way to tell if the wings were cooked right, Don't pull the flat apart. Place in mouth and suck that delicious meat from the bone. And it don't mater if you love your wings with hot sauce, bar b q or some other type, they are good

    Questions. First, when I fry at home I tend to be cautious and use a way larger pot than amount of oil so there’s lots of side space. does that affect the final product? Like is too much open air over the oil a bad thing?
    Second, how do you know they’re done, do you meat thermometer one just to be sure?

    • @baseballcards3
      @baseballcards3 2 года назад

      Hi
      I’m the same way as you, and I have not noticed a difference in size of pots.
      For wings, 10 minutes is typically a good time, but there are a few ways to check for the impatient and cautious like me: if the wings are still floppy when you grab them with tongs, they are not done. Secondly, when they get close to done, they will start to float to the surface of the oil (scientifically, this means that there is almost no water in there anymore, which is the goal). Thirdly, the oil will be less bubbly as they start to get close to being done

    I like my wings super saucy... you know, saucy wings for a saucy wench. :p I like the drumettes and the flats equally, but I'm definitely a no-go on the blue cheese dressing. I never liked blue cheese and probably never will. Most of the time, I only mess with ranch as a dipping sauce when I eat out, but otherwise, I don't bother with a dipping sauce when I'm frying them at home. The wings themselves I like to fry in peanut oil. The wing sauce I usually go for is Franks Red Hot Buffalo with a whole stick of butter, and a single splash of apple cider vinegar to tie everything together; if I'm feeling particularly froggy, I'll add a little bit of Death Nectar to the sauce. Death Nectar is legit spicy and a little will go a long way; seriously, don't use too much. A friend of mine had to go to the ER when she tried to chug the sauce and ended up puking blood. I just dip a chopstick in the bottle and what coats the stick is mixed into my buffalo sauce.

      I've always thought why not turkey wings?

      I have used duck wings before. And agree with the first comment I find that they aren’t as meaty and are tougher.

    I just buy Frank's Buffalo flavor sauce, add melted butter to it in a bowl, then mix. I use heavy cream instead of just milk. My Blue cheese Recipe: 2 cups of quality mayonnaise, 1 cup sour cream, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon garlic, teaspoon pepper, 1 teaspoon mustard, teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, freeze a triangle of real blue cheese, then grate it into your other ingredients. Use another triangle of blue cheese, at fridge temp, and hand crumble into the mixture. Mix well, but not breaking up chunks of cheese. Finally, cover well, and store in the fridge overnight, for best results. This help the flavors all marry or say, meld together. I've won several competitions on my blue cheese. Spend the money on the whole triangle of blue cheese! Very important! Good day. Wings need to be fried extra crispy. I absolutely hate rubbery skin!
