Kind of like asking for recipes so he can tell us he spends thousands of dollars a month going out to eat also means his wife is incapable of basic kitchen skills and concepts.

It's $40 for an order of wings, a couple of drafts, and a tip. BTW, at least in Rochester, the wings were also much better generally speaking when you were young, handsome, and cool. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WEATHER DOT COM Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Hot-ish take: Any wing properly cooked in a fryer (350 degrees for 13-15 minutes) will taste great coated in a good sauce. 99% of the wing joints in Buffalo know this. They all taste pretty much the same. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want a good amount of meat on my wings but I’ve definitely had some (mostly drumsticks) that have had too much meat. They’re like super veiny and gross me out. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer a smaller wing over a huge wing as I am eating wings for the flavor of the sauce, not the flavor of the bird. An average-sized wing is preferred IMO. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it right there! 10+ years ago they were a good size. Then everyone got all amped up about bigger wings and they started breeding 'em differently. If they're too big you take a bite or two and all the surface crunchiness is gone and all you've got left is white chicken on a stick. Not much difference between that and a boneless breast piece of chicken. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea 13-15 min at 350 will cook a wing But if you want extra crispy... I'll drop it for 12 minutes... Pop it up...

Pop it up... Then drop it down for another 5-6 Also depends upon the size of the fryer and how many wings are packed into it. I've found that spreading them out cooks them better and more quickly. IOW, instead of cramming 18 wings into a fryer without much space left, try 10 or 12, they'll fry up faster and get crispier more quickly, and I've found that they actually cook faster (more per hour) that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can cut 'em yourself too, it's easy. They cost a lot less that way. If money's no object, yeah, just buy 'em cut. Those generally are pretty good sized Wings. If you're pizza oven is a convection oven that's a pretty good way to cook 'em. Air fryers, aka convection ovens, are also good. I prefer deep-frying mine in lard, much healthier that way, they also taste better and don't stick together like they do when I fry them in soybean oil/vegetable oil. It's difficult to find lard, I get mine at a local meat processor for about as much as vegetable/soybean oil costs. You really need a deck/patio or garage to fry though, stinks up the house if you do it inside. ... unless you don't mind living in a Wendy's.
