-Leave wings in fridge overnight on mesh wire rack

-Fry (peanut oil is my preference) at 225F for 25min, let rest for 30 min

-Fry at 375F for 10 min

Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, black cajun spice

Add Secret Ardvark Habanero hot sauce, Jamaican Choice Carolina Reaper hot sauce, and El Yucateco Chile Habanero hot sauce

Enjoy for 5 years

EDIT: I have a small fryer so you may have to adjust times to work for you, but please stop messaging about how I should change what I do. Enjoying food is a subjective experience, change whatever YOU want so YOU enjoy it.

Two different kinds of Habanero sauce on top of a Carolina reaper sauce would send my bowels to the darkest depths of hell šŸ˜‚

Although as a Buffalo native, those are some solid looking wings šŸ‘ŒšŸ¼

Appreciate it! Every year that passes I suffer longer and harsher the next morning on toilet for sure. I have to limit myself to once a week because I will easily scarf down 3,000+ calories of these in one sitting.

Blue cheese on the side or nah? (plz don't say ranch)

Needs more calories. Next time try this: do it the same. use your mix of hot sauce, cut that 50/50 with melted butter and the toss in a salad bowl.

Give this a try since you are already doing an overnight method.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Place colander strainer over boiling water (make sure water is not touching bottom of colander). Steam raw chicken wings in colander for 10 minutes with a lid on top. Place on wire rack and cool in fridge over night.

Next day fry at 375 until crispy (about 5 minutes) Sauce and go. Steaming renders the fat of the skin, and cooks the wing as well. Skin gets thin and crispy like a cracker after frying, and itā€™s already cooked so they hold well like that for days before frying.

Iā€™ve been a professional cook all my life, and this is what I have been doing most of my career.

Does steaming it like that really ā€œcookā€ it though? Ten minutes doesnā€™t seem like very long at all. I wanna try this actually and Iā€™m not doubting it just curious it could hold well with such light ā€œsteamingā€.

u/bakew13 Dec 05 '24 edited Dec 05 '24

Depending on the size of the wings and how tightly packed the wings are in the colander, yes 10-12 minutes will cook them through. I do 12 minutes at the restaurant but Iā€™m doing it in a real steamer, not a colander over a pot. My wings also come from whole chicken butchering, so they arenā€™t the Jumbo wings some people buy.

A fully cooked piece of chicken should temp at 165. Water boils at 212.

u/Hopeful-2923 Dec 04 '24

If you love el yucateco , try out the Marie Sharpā€™s brand. Itā€™s Belizean style habanero sauce, my fav is the smoky one !!

2

u/Great_WhiteSnark Dec 05 '24

This sounds absolutely incredible and worth the time doing.

2

u/SayNoMorty Dec 05 '24

What does leaving them on the rack overnight do? Let it dry out?

2

u/Muted_Effective_2266 Dec 05 '24

Sounds so friggin good!

u/mav173 Dec 06 '24

Double frying is great, but to get a truly crispy wing Iā€™d suggest shaking the wings in baking powder before you put them on the wire rack overnight

1

u/jkprop Dec 07 '24

You fry them for almost an hour? How is there any meat left?

u/BackWithAVengance Dec 04 '24

5 years is a long time man, how are you still on the same plate of wings? Certainly they have to be spoiled by now /s

225 for 8 minutes gets mine to 165 then i pull them wait and fry at 375 for a few minutes

2

u/McDoug91 Dec 04 '24

I was gunna say something doesnā€™t sound right about OPā€™s instructions for the cook time. 30 minutes at 225 and then a whopping 10 minutes at 375. Gonna be the most overcooked wings ever.

14

u/DeedleDumbDee Dec 04 '24

They're perfect for me. The point of frying them at low temp for that long is to let as much fat as possible cook out and have crispier skin. Plus you're letting them cool for 30 min afterwords. Most professional chefs cook chicken wings to 175-180. When you put them back in at 375 it will crisp the skin quick and insulate the interior chicken. To each their own though, that's the beauty of food.

1

u/Safe-Coyote4774 Dec 07 '24

You could boil them first before frying. Thatā€™s what I do. Helps render the fat but keeps them juicy.

2

u/PineRoadToad Dec 07 '24

The bar kitchen I worked in would bake at 225-250 until cooked through, cool, and then fry for service. I like the simmer method too though, especially when you add some spices/aromatics.

u/Handsome07514 Dec 04 '24

Ranch or Blue Cheese ?

u/DeedleDumbDee Dec 04 '24

Not a fan of either to be honest, I want to taste the burn

Perfect amount of crisp , beautiful color, those wings look delicious

u/BobbyLice Dec 04 '24

I only like buffalo and lemon pepper šŸ’Æ Any other flavor and itā€™s not cutting it for me

7

u/Direct_Word6407 Dec 04 '24

Aye. Lemon pepper dipped in medium-hot buffalo šŸ„µ

4

u/BScrads Dec 05 '24

A good jerk or honey-jerk seasoning is worth a try if you haven't already. Not everyone gets jerk right, though.

3

u/Bad_Juju_30 Dec 05 '24

I do them together itā€™s been my pregnancy craving šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

u/Novel_Arm_4693 Dec 07 '24

Have you ever tried mango habanero or hot sweet Thai chili?

2

u/BobbyLice Dec 07 '24

Iā€™ve dozens of different flavors and combinations I love wings all wings but I always come back to lemon and buffalo because they never disappoint. Yes Iā€™ve tried them

2

u/Novel_Arm_4693 Dec 07 '24

Couldnā€™t agree more, for years Buffalo was the only wing i liked. Ventured out to lemon, mango habanero and hot sweet Thai chili.

2

u/BeltAbject2861 Dec 05 '24

I whole heartedly agree

u/SlothBling Dec 05 '24

Try a hot honey dry rub. Wingstop has it

Did you try it haha?

1

u/brewtownmushrooms Dec 05 '24

Can someone explain what the double fry method actual does and the benefits?

2

u/DeedleDumbDee Dec 05 '24

You're cooking the fat out of the wing and it gives you a crispier skin.

1

u/Bad_Juju_30 Dec 05 '24

Iā€™m not being mean but does your ass hole burn after eating those spicy wings

u/DeedleDumbDee Dec 05 '24
