Jauronimo Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 You have to make your own wings. Its not that hard. Get a turkey fryer and then a smaller pot with a basket. I prefer canola oil to fry them with. Get franks hot sauce and modify to suit your to your taste. It isn't hard, but I hate having my whole place smell like deep fryer. Deep frying outside is challenging in the winter and I'd probably look funny standing in the parking lot of my complex cooking chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I refuse to fry anything in my house. It's messy and smelly. If it's nice out, I do my frying on the deck. If it's crappy out, I do my frying in the garage. I don't fry inside the house for the same reasons: messy and smelly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wok uses less oil,and its footprint makes an unhappy oil spillover less likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They filled the !@#$ing thing to the top with oil, got it hot, then dumped still frozen bird. Oil was overflowing from the get go, running all over the parking lot, and dripping right into the flame. We were parked about 3 spaces down. I still cannot believe that these dumb !@#$s didn't start a grease fire and engulf a few people and cars. I had our party basically packed up just in case.

Chef Jim Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yes I do mine outside in the backyard. I'm still not going to do that. There are so many better ways to cook things than frying them. You still have to deal with the greasy utensils and what to do with the old smelly grease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember some years back, there would always be some dumbass who put their STLL HOT grill under the rear of their car before going into the stadium. I've witnessed several fires over the years @ the Ralph. I've cooked lots of turkeys in the deep fryer. ALWAYS completely thawed,and at a considerable distance from the house/vehicles I'm still not going to do that. There are so many better ways to cook things than frying them. You still have to deal with the greasy utensils and what to do with the old smelly grease. 100% Peanut oil is the way to go for a deep fried bird. Mmmmmmmmmm! It isn't hard, but I hate having my whole place smell like deep fryer. Deep frying outside is challenging in the winter and I'd probably look funny standing in the parking lot of my complex cooking chicken. I've deep fried wings at every home game for the last two years. 'Tater tots too! I'm not crazy about transporting propane across NYS though.....

The Dean Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 My eye was bright red. When people looked at me and asked what the hell happened I told them I jus smoked half a joint. Holy crap. At least you had a snappy comeback. I refuse to fry anything in my house. It's messy and smelly. I never had that bad a problem in the past. But in the condo I'm in now fried food (especially fish) really stinks the place up. i will only saute now. and finish in the oven, if I wan't something that has a bit of fried mojo. It helps that I really have cut down on the deep fried stuff lately. But on the rare occasion I jones for it, to a restaurant I go. I love making my own wings, but it really isn't worth the trouble to do it for one person (or even two). There is a bar/restaurant right in the front of our condo complex that makes wings. (They were good at one time, but now they suck--but only because their sauce blows.) So sometimes I order wings (extra crispy) with no sauce---take them home and put my own sauce on. Homemade(ish) wings without the mess. In SF I used to bring my own sauce to a wing place and have them use it for my order. I brought extra, so the staff could have some if they wished. The first time I think they were a bit insulted, but soon after they looked forward to my visit. I had to bring more and more sauce every time I visited.

Buffalo Wild Wings makes a pretty decent wing. Fortunately the PB Ale House does as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So how do you make your chicken wings then? I don't. Just because I'm from WNY doesn't mean I live on wings. It's not worth the mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fan in San Diego Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I don't. Just because I'm from WNY doesn't mean I live on wings. It's not worth the mess. I see, I've used a hot air fryer with wings with decent success and not the smelly grease to deal with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I see, I've used a hot air fryer with wings with decent success and not the smelly grease to deal with. If I'm not going to fry them I won't make them. There was a sports bar by my place in Orange County that had the best wings outside of WNY. However I wait for my annual trip to WNY to get my fix. I won't even bother ordering them out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dean Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) So how do you make your chicken wings then? Buffalo Wild Wings makes a pretty decent wing. Fortunately the PB Ale House does as well. If I'm in an area with no real wing joint, then Wild Wings makes an "acceptable" wing for me--only if I get the Blazin. But once I return to Buffalo, or go to a really good wing joint (or make them myself), I realize how mediocre they really are. If I'm not going to fry them I won't make them. There was a sports bar by my place in Orange County that had the best wings outside of WNY. However I wait for my annual trip to WNY to get my fix. I won't even bother ordering them out here. On a few occasions I've considered buying this: http://www.amazon.co...9124524&sr=1-12 I haven't pulled the trigger, for the obvious reasons, but I wonder how good of a job it does, and if it stinks up the place. Since I'm typically only cooking for one, or two, the capacity is probably OK. But I question if using this little bit of oil really does the wings justice. I think there was another similar "fryer" a a better price, but I couldn't find it quickly. Same concerns as the one above, though.

plenzmd1 Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 So if you want wings without frying, in my opinion this is the closest you can get. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/buffalo-wings-recipe.html The steaming is the key. Again, not 100% like frying, but damn near close. BTW, i fry occasionally in the house..maybe 3 times a year. Always use a splash guard, and i have a pretty damn good hood fan. No issues really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted December 21, 2014 Share Posted December 21, 2014 That seems like a long time to wait for wings. No kidding. I saw the prep time and expected the recipe to include driving somewhere to order wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
