@@valkyriekittyx I didn't say they said more meat. I was just saying why Drums are superior and how the skin to meat ratio was not enough to tradeoff less meat
I made some garlic parmesan drums with potato starch and a bit of flour and I dip mine in egg before i put them into the dry mixture. They next day after sitting in the fridge i put them in the microwave for a minute to heat up the outside and then the toaster oven for a minute or two to make sure they were crispy still and they were still crispy and delicious!! Thank for the videos you do, they help me out so much! cooking is my stress reliever when I'm in a dark place, your recipes give me the motivation to create my own food ideas and share them with other too, Thank you
Can we use cornstarch instead of Potato starch? I heard they work the same way. Also, apologies if my question is a bit odd. Im just a beginner and your videos really made me love cooking.
Just before I’m about to make fried chicken. perfect! I unfortunately don’t have potato starch atm. But I found rice flour is also a good alternative for extra crisp n crunch
my sister is allergic to gluten so i have been eating and making cornstarch and potato starch fried chicken for sooo long i never thought a chief would be using those ingredients wow!!!
My favorite part of the bird, drums and thighs. I tried your pickle juice trick. Epic game changer!! My local supermarket in Maine has these show stopping locally made pickles.
Nick, I have been watching your cooking videos for a while and I absolutely love what you do! You helped me to develop my cooking skills and I have always wanted you to cook one of my favorite dishes of time... THE BEST DISH that Gordon Ramsay has ever tasted.. It is the Vietnamese noodle soup, aka Phở, it is so hard to make that a lot of cooks have failed to achieve it. As a Vietnamese I'm really looking forward to you making this wonderful bowl of noodles. I hope you see this message! Thanks
Well, agreed that: potato starch > egg + flour but there is still one game changer out there. Cornflakes !!! As far as I taste delightfull chicken wings, I would always go for cornflakes. Have a try Nick. All the best, peace.
With the egg + flour, the egg whites expand causing it to be more fluffy! If you drop egg whites in hot oil it literally goes crazy haha it’s my go to for any fried food 😊
in my op i always go for the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs coat. just coat the flour first egg and then breadcrumbs, i always love the crispness of it, and it never gets dry or old.
Hey Nick! Would you consider mixing those methods? Previously, I used to dip into egg wash, then 50/50 mix of flour and corn starch. Made it super crispy and rich. But now I’m thinking double dredge? Potato starch > egg wash > flour? Or other way around? Flour > egg wash > potato starch?
I like using quang tran’s method. He used soda water for the wet batter and has 2 bowl in which he has regular flour and seasoned flour. It makes the chicken glass shattering crispy
Fun fact. The little drums you are cooking are actually part of the wing. It's the part which connects the flats to the chicken. I'm sure 99% of people are aware of this
My go-to has always been soak in buttermilk over night, then dredge in a flour mixture that's 3 parts flour to 1 part corn starch. Same frying method as seen here. Fry first until golden at 325, let sit on a cooling rack, crank frier up to 375+ and then finish them off. The end result is wings with that traditional extra crispy crunch but so much better than anything you'd eat at KFC or Popeyes. Never thought to use pickle juice with the buttermilk, may have to try that soon. If you want those extra crispy wings at home, the biggest secret imo is adding corn starch to your flour. It does wonders. Flour mixture seasoning consists of: Salt Black Pepper Garlic Powder Smoked Paprika Onion Powder *MSG* Cayenne Pepper Finely Grated Parmesan cheese. Not a lot, but I like using it the same way I would when doing chicken parm, where I add it to the bread crumb mixture. Helps the browning imo. It doesn't have to be fresh parmigiana either, it can be the store-bought stuff. You're not really using it for flavor, but for the way it browns. If you want garlic parm wings though, thats when the fresh stuff is gonna work way better if you're making a sauce/topping for the wings with it.
You know what is FAR better than even drums- thighs, from the leg area not wing area, boned and quartered, karaage style! Also, due to no bone you don’t have to do the double fry, as it will cook through the first time.
Honestly if you do a fried chicken wings series you'll probably be my favorite foodtuber. Maybe do an episode where you go full on rich gang and do the most expensive chicken wings you could imagine. I know I would be stoked
my favorite kind is where u let it soak in buttermilk then dip it in this big flour thing then fry it and I love it. I also fry it once cause I prefer the less crunchy outside
I have actually worked at Popeyes as a cook. They do as follows. Marinated chicken goes in seasoned flower, then in a batter mixture, then back into flour, and then fried. You're welcome. 😘
One thing has been bothering me with all his videos about chicken is, he keeps calling the drumettes, drums. There is a difference. The drum is part of the leg, while drumettes are a part of the wings. Drumettes are much smaller compared to the actual drum. So when you eat wings you get flats and drumettes, not the actual leg drum like he pointed to in the video. Thank you for coming to me Ted Talk
When I make my chicken nuggets I do the normal stuff, flour+egg, then I add seasoning (usually an Italian style), and then my secret ingredient… panko. I like the crust that it gives. I also airfry instead of fry but you could fry it instead
It seems to me like the flour + egg wing is the one all restaurants use because it looks the most appetizing out of all of them. The potato starch doesn't look quite as appetizing and I think that's the reason restaurants don't use that technique.
It actually shocks me that he doesn’t know this, but then again he actually makes a huge amount of errors in his videos, for example he called a “surprise apple” or “Pacific rose apple” a ROSE APPLE, which is actually not an apple at all, and is a different fruit from Southeast Asia, like pineapple is not an apple.
You should try dipping them in corn starch, then egg wash then flower. You have the best of both worlds, corn starch to lock in the juice, with flowery egg exteriors.
I just realised why he always records below his neck when cooking, Pesto is controlling him to cook and everytime he shows us his face he puts down pesto!?!!!?!
Okay just to clear the air here. You are eating drumettes. Not the drum. Drumettes are not as good as flats. Drums are better than flats. But you didn't cook chicken legs lol
My method is to put some of the buttermilk in the dry drech and then take ou the wing with skin dip it in egg wash then dry drech with potato starch spices buttermilk and breadcrumbs and double frying and also I like to dry the chiken before marinating for some reason 😂
Don't forget to spank that like button! REALLY fun video coming up this Saturday :) I'll keep it a surprise for now.

I like flats more, because of the superior skin to meat ratio, and the crisper skin
nah, you get less meat

@@sanjeevv.9901 they didnt say its more meat, its just a better balance of skin and meat than drums.
@@valkyriekittyx I didn't say they said more meat. I was just saying why Drums are superior and how the skin to meat ratio was not enough to tradeoff less meat

Nick, the drum and the flat are actually both the part of the wing. The drum is more the bicep of the wing while the flat is the forearm of the wing
Nobody:
**Nick when eats fried chicken**
*HEAR THIS*
*Starts scraping knife over the fried chicken*
"That is so crispy/delicious"
Drums better than flats?!!? AHHH!!! Wings still looking cwispy af tho
@ this is literally my favourite argument in the world
@ LOL
Drum are better and I stand by that
Crispy***
@ flats are mats mats are trash
you should've tried the method of coating in flour then putting it into water then flour again....it gives a very good crispy layer as well
"To start, this is the chicken's butt" lmao, but also, he's not wrong lol
The camera man is one of the reasons I watch your videos. 😂😂🙏🏻

Just before I’m about to make fried chicken. perfect! I unfortunately don’t have potato starch atm. But I found rice flour is also a good alternative for extra crisp n crunch
Hmm. Rice flour is decent, but if you’ve got corn flour that will be even better!
Please do this more, was super fun to watch.
I absolutely love his casual jokes. Like- he just says it and that's all, doesn't over exaggerate them like most people.

He got that wrong those were the legs the drums are still part of the wing closer to the breast and lower than the flat

Ur missing out so much
Huh? Chicken is also not vegan... I’m so confused
@@tylerlynch8559 😂
Nick, the drum is attached to the flat, it’s called the drummete. The one you were talking about was the drumstick.
The best thing is the thigh, attached to the drumstick.

i know im never gonna use anything i learn here but it's always entertaining anyway
Hey nick. Next try to Cover them in potato starch and some mustard👌🏼 I've had them before and they are delicious
Nick's magic deep-frier magically multiplies the chicken he puts in
It's magic ! When he put a wing to the fryer, then after it cooked, it become 6 pcs of wings. He must be a magician
So this would mean that egg and potato starch would call for a legendary combination
