    The deviled bones double cook reminds me of a St. Louis style of wing called "trashed". The wings are flash fried, sauced, and then fried again. Absolutely destroys your frying oil, but you get a crunchy almost jerk flavor.

  • @Lightning_Toad

    Something that's become increasingly clearer to me from these videos is that recipes don't really get 'invented' so much as 'written down for the first time,' which makes it difficult to say who, when, or where a type of food got its start. Which makes sense considering that, historically, people likely didn't have the luxury of deciding what ingredients to get for dinner and instead just used more conceptual cooking skills to prepare whatever they were able to access. That probably means folks didn't really care to learn specific recipes, as they might not consistently have the ingredients it requires anyway.

      Right. Even before Deviled Bones, out of the thousands of years humans have been around I find it hard to believe nobody had ever thought to do that. It makes you wonder how much true history will forever remain unknown because it was never recorded and has since been lost or misremembered.

    My MIL makes deviled bones. We have a standing rib roast traditionally for Christmas Eve, and she saves the bones after carving the roast. We go over for brunch on Boxing Day, and she uses those leftover (and very meaty) rib bones with the excess meat to make deviled ribs. Same recipe as you have for the deviling rub, but with oil added, to lock in whatever moisture is left in the meat when baked. They’re tasty and easy and use up all the remains of a very expensive cut of meat!

      1- Agricultural prices have been kept low through government subsidies. Subsidies rise and fall over time and don't always keep up with inflation
      2- The cost of raising livestock has probably skyrocketed since people started paying attention to the quality of life of farm animals, as well as practices like feeding them antibiotics and other potentially harmful things
      3- Restaurants make profit by criminally underpaying staff. That's getting harder to do, which means they have to raise prices
      4- Supply and demand, consumers get what they pay for. Stop buying $18 appetizers and restaurants will stop selling $18 appetizers

    One thing I like about this video is that Mr. Miller does his due diligence when talking about chicken wings, and the myriad of ways that they have been cooked, seasoned, and eaten throughout history. Mr. Miller takes the time to explain that, chicken wings, hot wings, and Buffalo wings are all slightly different, and have different origins { and when you factor in who you might be speaking with, things become even more fractured and divisive }, which I am glad he took the time to research and clarify. That happens to be one of the many things I like about his videos.

    Turnspit dog at 04:15! Alexis Soyer was a really interesting guy. He was French, but became a famous chef after moving to Britain. As well as feeding the wealthy in fancy clubs, he dedicated himself to feeding the poor and hungry. He set up soup kitchens, even travelling to Ireland during the Great Hunger to provide famine relief in Dublin. The reason for his early death was that he worked with Florence Nightingale during the Crimean War to feed the troops, and whilst there, contracted dysentery, from which he never fully recovered.

      His time in Ireland during the days of potato famine was... Complicated to say the least. While he did go there for ostensibly charitable reasons, his soup kitchens were more like human exhibition pens given it was designed so that the wealthy can watch the poor eat like it's a novelty and there was paid admission to do so (many newspapers commented on that). And his famous "famine soup" is so watered down even the middle class reporters question of its nutrition (per person, a bowl of soup would contain only a few drops of meat broth and a few grams of meat)...

      @chrisball3778 3 месяца назад +6

      @@theotherohlourdespadua1131 There's probably a mix of valid and invalid criticism there. Not all soup kitchens set up in Ireland during the period were alike, but all had to make the most of the available ingredients. Most probably served food that was more watery than ideal.
      On Top of that, Soyer was attacked in bad faith by some quacks who claimed that no soup could ever be nourishing, a false claim that may have affected some of your sources.
      As for the idea that the soup kitchens were 'human exhibition pens'... I'd really rather have sources for that claim, but in the absence of the, I'd point out that the Great Hunger was largely caused by the apathy and indifference of the English authorities that controlled Ireland at the time. A publicity stunt aimed at trying to shift English public opinion towards blocking food exports from Ireland in the 1840's would be 100% an objectively good thing, even if the optics look bad today.

      I tend to eat fairly hot curries and chilies but a few years ago I was having a little English mustard with some beef. I was very cautious with the amount I put on the piece of meat I put in my mouth - and I still felt like one of those cartoon characters where a steam whistle appears out of the top of their skull.
      That was when I decided that English mustard (and I think I might have made it from the powder) is Not For Me (unless it is diluted in a large volume, e.g. when making devilled eggs).

Since the restaurant hadn't been serving meat that day, the only thing they had readily available was leftover chicken wings, so Theresa fried em up and served them to her sons friends. It was a hit and they decided to offer fried "Buffalo wings" on their menu. Never heard the mistaken order of chicken story, although I guess that could be true too.

    Beef on Weck is a highly underrated sandwich! Absolute staple for any gathering if you're from WNY, right next to the baked ziti. When I saw the picture I got immediately homesick, lol. So many cities have the most famous food they are known for and then the secondary uniquely local food that might even be better than the other. Philly has the roast pork sandwich, Chicago with Italian beef, Buffalo with beef on weck etc. So even if wings aren't exactly originally from Buffalo we have the beef on weck. Be sure you eat it with some loganberry pop!

    Frank and Theresa's stories aren't mutually exclusive. It's entirely possible that both are true: that Frank got too many wings, and that Theresa was looking to use them up in stock and other applications.
    In fact, it may be MORE likely that both are true since if they were ordering wings specifically for stock, they would be ordering just enough for that specific need, so she likely wouldn't use her limited supply up making something OTHER than stock unless she had excess wings to dispose of.

      Plus, you can't deep fry a boiled chicken anything: the meat has too high a water content to safely fry without explosions and foaming, and the meat wouldn't hold together because of the partially denatured proteins.
      And yes...anything you use to make a stock you *THROW AWAY* because it has been cooked past the point of inedibility.
      That's the whole point of a stock over a broth: to cook the ingredients so thoroughly that they disintegrate into the liquid to impart both flavor and nutrition.
      If she were making anything even closely approximating a proper stock, the only way to get those chicken wings out of the pot was with a sieve because both the aromatics and the protein have been cooked to near nothingness (in the case of chicken wings, to the point that the joints have gelatinized and the collagen is leaching from the bones.)

    Garnacha from Spain is a good wine pairing with mustard based dishes. You could also go with a full bodied French style Chardonnay.
    But there is a golden wine rule, if a dish goes well with beer it goes even better with Champagne. Choose a full bodied one.

    Fannie Farmer was on to something. Although admittedly I'm eating wings for the condiments, too. Indonesia has its own spin with something called "ayam geprek," smashed fried chicken. Lots of sambal (let's say "salsa") everywhere!

    I am from Buffalo New York. Buffalo Hot Wings were born at the Anchor Bar, 1047 Main St., around 1960. Franks Red Hot sauce was first introduced around 1920. But wings were also prepared there before the civil war. Information from Buffalo History Museum and the book titled Buffalo Everything by Arthur Bovino. Love your channel and all history. Thanks

    Well done, Max. I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio in the 60s and 70s and sometime in the mid-70s we were visiting relatives near Buffalo, New York. One night, they ordered pizza from Santino's Pizza Shack (recently closed) and my cousin and I walked through the woods to the Shack to retrieve the pizza. Along with pizza, we picked up a bucket of chicken wings??? Never heard of eating chicken's wings... They were EPIC! First day back home, I went to school and told my friends about these spicy chicken wings and how crazy good they were. I was asked if my relatives were poor? Poor, no... Well, only poor people eat chicken wings... Eons later, who's laughing now... Thanks for the memories!

    As a Buffalo native and an avid fan of this channel, it's fascinating learning the origins of my city's pride and joy! Upstate NY seems to have a thing with taking credit for 'inventing' an iconic food... despite really only popularizing it.
    It might not be as popular, but I wonder if 'Spiedies', a Binghamton NY staple food, has a similar origin. Disputed origin and creator, very similar dishes in Italy and even Egypt. My family in Bing often bickers with my family in Buffalo on if Spiedies or Chiavetta's is better 🤣

    • @mnemonik61

      I'm a Southern Tier native myself. 😀 Oh man, the can of worms that is the history of the spiedie is rife with family drama! Our Italian American community is well known for divisiveness, lol! I mean, do we promote the _original_ Lupo's or the "Spiedie and Rib Pit" (started by a _different_ Lupo brother after an argument - this is why we _also_ have two Roma's bakeries in town 😆), or the upstart Salamida's State Fair version? (Ngl, I'm a Salamida fan though I'm literally 5 blocks from the original Lupo's 'pig stand' on Main St.😁)

      I have lived my whole life between Buffalo and Rochester, and we have used neither of those, because a man who lived here personally knew the man at Cornell (Robert Baker) who created the 'Cornell' recipe, which is just like Spiedies. He added a touch of garlic powder, garlic salt, and celery salt, which makes it oooo.... just even better, and as such, he became very popular in my hometown as the man who put on the best chicken BBQs. He gave the recipe to my parents in the 60's, who eventually passed it onto me when I got engaged. I wrote it in the front of a cookbook I got at my bridal shower. When my hubby found out the recipe was in that cookbook, he made me write under the recipe that "In the event we divorce, my husband gets this cookbook. " To make sure I would never have to give up that tweaked recipe, I stayed married to him... for the last 42 years and counting 😂😂 (PS: if you do a Google search for: alumni.cornell.edu/cornellians/baker-chicken/ the history and original recipe are there 😊)

      ​@joelp5093 Agreed! Cornell chicken over Charcoal was what I grew up on- can still see my father sitting by the grill cooking it. My hubby ALWAYS cooks it over a hickory wood fire, which has me spoiled now so that the Charcoal cooked doesn't taste as good to me, lol.

    I have always lived very close to Buffalo. My dad was a butcher, and had a lot of dealings with bars and local restaurants. Often cutting up and delivering wings. We've always heard the matriarch's story of how the Anchor Bar's wings came to be. I've even heard variations on it, like it was because they got unusually busy and it was before delivery day, and they had these wings they didn't know what to do with (like a combining of two of the three family stories), and she fried up wings, because that was the only way she could make enough fast enough. They supposedly had Frank's and Whirl (a liquid institutional frying and flavoring version of butter), and made a sauce to shake the fried wings in.
    Seems to me you could only really get them in Buffalo for a long time. They took off, and became the national thing it did (along with the delicious beef on weck) thanks to Jim Kelly and the Buffalo Bills going to (and losing) four superbowls consecutively. The 80s, basically. Thanks to the whole country being fascinated with the Queen City. Wings and football went together like peas and carrots forevermore after that!
    Thanks for shining a light on my little time and place in the world. 🙂

    at 9:41, it's funny to see chicken wings right next to grilled lamb chops with Sauce Piquante, which according to Escoffier is a brown sauce made with mushrooms, herbs, and pickles, probably quite similar to the one you made in this video. Another variation of this sauce existed which was called Sauce Diable, which included a healthy amount of cayenne pepper. also very interesting to see it was served at a hotel in Buffalo!

    Hi, Max. This was so interesting! I had a thought on the mustard, mustard situation.
    I agree that it may be that dry ingredients were listed first, then the wet. And, if you find evidence of that methodology followed in other recipes in that same cookbook, then that must be the case.
    However, I also thought of it being perhaps a proportion thing. No measurements are given, but clearly, the author of the recipe wants a 1:2 ratio of the mushroom ketchup to the mustard. So perhaps it's just a "Use as much or as little of the other spices (salt, cayenne, and pepper) as you like, but make sure the mushroom ketchup and mustard are in proportion, otherwise the flavor won't be balanced properly" kind of thing.
    Just my two cents! Love, love, LOVE your channel, Max!

    as someone born and raised in buffalo, anchor bar is notorious for having some of the worst wings here LOL. i have a friend that who is a manager at an anchor bar (its turned into a franchise-based chain) and she says its only tourists that go there, and the food is mad expensive too.
    also, beef on weck is still a super popular buffalo dish! its usually served with au jus from the roast beef, and its amazing. its super popular and a staple of buffalo polish food!
