You’re funny-a “little stick of butter?😅
Wing flats 👍
How is every meal she makes a "every week meal" in her house?
Darn Lady .. you make me into a Home Kitchen Cook .. My wife is like What is going on with you? ( I never cook in my life before)
Fixed air fryer wings a few minutes ago. Starting them at 350 was a great tip. 3 flats and two drum were 2 sets of 5 min x350, and a final at 400. perfection! Buffalo sauced mmm
Absolutely great, informative video with great ideas and methods. Will be trying them all, including the "wing boil". The last one, with the large foil pan in the oven was shaky at first. Saw too much liquid, but most seemed to evaporate and it became thick, sticky looking. Worth trying. Learned much about "coating". I don't go often too wing stop, but my favorite flavor is the Louisiana dry rub. Second is the lemon-pepper, third is the garlic- parmesan. Have you ever done, the dry rub and garlic parmesan? I would search for those.
X???? ???

Love this video. Wings are one of my favorites. Can’t wait to try some of these recipes. Thanks so much.
Lemon Pepper is good!
I loved all these options, but especially the boil method- gotta try that! Since I have celiac, I do the oven roast method exactly like your’s then I mix the sauce and butter in a skillet on the stove and get it hot and bubbly, and dump the roasted wings into the pan and fold into the sauce. Let it simmer a minute or two and then serve. Somehow that last step just makes the wings so so tender yet not soggy.
What hot sauce did you use for the fried wings?
I just got some freezer souper cubes. I live alone and would love if you would do a series on one person mix and match freezer meals for souper cubes. I think many of your recipes would work great for this and the mix snd match meal planning is something you do well. Lots of people live alone and would appreciate your help.
I love your videos so much have made some of your recipes. Want to make more but I have a request, can you pretty please do a whole video on some of your favorite low sodium recipes (no salt substitutes) as those of us on BP medication can’t have those. Using nothing but natural herbs to flavor the food. I’d really appreciate it , as it’s hard to find . Thank you 💯🥰♥️
Can you show us a killer RANCH MIX… please 🥰
The truth about "natural flavors" is they're heavily processed flavor compounds from natural sources (plants, animals) but can contain numerous chemical additives, solvents, and preservatives not listed on labels, making them far from just the original ingredient and potentially masking allergens or unhealthy components. While FDA-approved as safe, their vague labeling hides complex mixtures, leading to concerns about undisclosed chemicals, hidden MSG, and potential health issues like allergies or sensitivities, especially when alongside unpronounceable ingredients in processed foods.
When you oven-fry your chicken, you also save on oil.
How do you keep your air fryer so clean? 🥲
I don't see the recipe link to the Sticky Baked Wings with BBQ Teriyaki Sauce?
Flats definitely Reign supreme 😊. My husband would do the same for me ❤.
The only thing bad about this video is…I can’t have any wings,,,😅
