Cami, here's how we do our Chicken Wings!

[MrMonkey]

Made them last Monday along with some potato salad and you said the wings you had didn't turn out that well! So told you I would do thread the way we do them! And IMO the Frank's sauce (I use it sometimes) isn't the culprit as much how you cook them!

First off I marinade the wings for 24 hours in the fridge! I used the Ken's brand marinade sauce (when on sale) which seems the best but really any sauce/marinade will do! Then before deep frying we coat them with plain flour! I then cook them in our relic of a fryer for say 20 minutes or longer if needed!

After done cooking I pat them dry and ready to eat! We then dip them in a hot sauce that I melt butter into since it seems to be a good mixture and dampens the hot sauce since we don't always like them smoking hot! To each his/her own how hot you want them! Sometimes we put blue chesse dressing over the wings after dipping in the hot sauce!

The key I believe in having good wings over the years when deep frying is the flour coating! The coating seems to make the chicken skin come out more crispy when finished! I mean you just eat the chicken right to the bone without ever coming up with mushy skin that doesn't taste good!

Also some people cover the wings with sauce and just bake them or do a deep fry/bake combo but IMO you lose the crispiness! CRISPINESS is the key word for us! Below are a few pics! OK, time for some LET'S GO FLYERS!

Never done these, seems like a lot of work for wings. Looks good though, and I have heard the melting butter into the sauce is the way to go...

Where's the blue cheese and when do I stop by?

You're welcome and the oil temp is around 375-400 for us but be careful your modern fryer doesn't cook them faster, don't want to overcook them!

 

[Cami]

I think mine only goes up 350. Takes maybe 15 to 29 minutes aswell.

Here's the basic potato salad! Store bought ones to us always seem to have a vinegary taste to them! So we use the 5 lb Red potatoes, small onion and 3-4 stalks celery, 4 cooked egg yolks along with dash of mustard and mayo and of course salt!

Cook potatoes, let cool on counter! Boil eggs and discard white portion (eat like I do with salt) and mix mayo, crushed yokes, and mustard in bowl! Dice up potatoes, place in big bowl (add salt) and combine with diced up onion and celery! Combine mayo mixture with diced potatoes! Finish with paprika on top of potatoes!

Chucky Baby, this is all my pics my friend! MrsM giving me the "WTF, so now we're taking pics of the food we're cooking" look! Girl needs to relax more!

Oh, no chef in me but if MrsM ever left me I can fend for myself! (I have had practice if you get my drift)
But MrsM is a wonderful cook! Honestly she's good!

 

[Cami]

Good catch by someone who knows his way round the kitchen! Yes only drawback and does get a little messy! Don't make them often and we do on occasion get wings with pizza from a local joint that cooks them right!

But from a cost factor, 2 packages chicken (56 wings) $14, sauce and butter $4, flour and oil $3, add $2 blue chesse = $23 not too bad for a big wing day if don't mind the work!

 

[ChuckD]

Mrmonkey you should open up a resturant...no bullshit i'd invest.

 

[Cami]

No set time just so you can stick a fork easily in them! From our experience overcooking slightly better than undercooking slightly! If overcooked just cool longer so when you cut them up they won't crumble apart as easily like the potato does when it is warm!

 

[Saulty]

I got hungry reading this thread. Goood stuff MrMonkey.

 

[Cami]

Oh see maybe that is my mistake...I always cut them up then boil themm
My dumb ass never thought about boiling them whole...lmfao
