Chinese have been making dishes with Chicken Wings for hundreds of years. My wife got a 40# box of chicken wings at Restaurant Depot and a damn low price and cooks them at home using various Chinese styles. And I do not eat them with ranch sauce. Why are you the way you are? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best in other places was a bar in Charleston,SC and ones that were made by our Bills Backers group at a Bills tailgate in Oakland. What bar?

Wacka Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 (edited) Don't have the faintest idea. It was almost 20 years ago. It was on a street with lots of small restaurants and bars.I was sick of eating seafood and wanted some thing different. I saw wings advertised out front. Asked if they breaded or fried them.. They said fried and they were good. Edited February 10, 2020 by Wacka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long line after long line in the blazing sun for a handful of overpriced wings .... and it’s rather difficult to eat wings while standing and holding them ... too many nonsensical eating contests on the stage ... I am probably in the minority here, but I’d rather just go to my favorite wing joint instead. I agree wholeheartedly. It’s a crappy event IMO. Wings are made at a central location and then are distributed to the vendors where they are sauced. There is zero chance of getting a crispy wing. Also the lines sucked. Crispy wings matter! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOME Without a doubt, dry wings will stay crispier for way longer than sauced wings, all other things equal. As delicious as it is, the classic buffalo wing sauce is the enemy of crispy skin. Wings with sugary glazes also fare better than wetter sauces. I add some thickening agents (xantham gum, corn starch slurry) to my standard buffalo sauce to coat the wing better and prevent soggy skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my good friends owns a pizzeria on city lines in Sloan Lovejoy He is always doing new stuff and finding new flavors to wing it Recently he has come up with his own version of the classic buffalo wings which he does in hot medium mild Honey Garlic sriracha and they are to die for! What makes it superb is that the thick rich Sriracha does not make super soggy skin but keeps it crispier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago I deep fried something or another, turned off the fry daddy and fed my kids dinner. As I washed dishes I saw my son flicking water into the still hot oil for the popping effect. Evidently, he continued this until the oil had cooled and continued putting more and more water in. I am guessing that an ounce or three wound up settling in the bottom when the oil finally cooled. Next day: I am at work, kids are at school, and my mom who lived with us briefly decided to fry something using the oil from last night... The water which had settled to the bottom of the fryer (obviously, she nor me realized), became super heated to 350+ degrees, and just as she dropped in her French fries, or whatever, the whole mess frigging EXPLODED! She was wearing a night gown and wound up with some serious burns on her neck, chest, arms and tops of her bare feet. The entire kitchen, including the ceiling were coated in oil. The foot tracks in the carpet to the bathroom were still there when we moved out. My son still hates to hear this story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I was in middle school my college age sister started screaming downstairs. LOUDLY! We were home alone and I ran downstairs as fast as I could. She was making popcorn the old fashion way, with super hot oil (years before a microwave). I could smell the smoke before I arrived at the raging fire in the kitchen. My sister opened the sliding glass door nearby and bravely (but not very wisely) grabbed the pot of fire and threw it out the back door........only to realize she had not opened the screen door behind the glass door! The giant pot of fire bounced off the screen door back into the dining room. Fire everywhere! I opened the screen and kicked the pot out. The carpet had....some issues after that night. I haven’t taunted her about this for decades. Thanks for reminding me! I can’t wait until her next visit!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
