It's not that complicated to get the wings crispier. To get some crispy or just use a rack on a tray.
I want to use the recipe on chicken thighs. Will the temperature and time for the wings be the same for the thighs? If not, what do you recommend?
I think they put the wrong video with the intro.
These are not crispy, it looks like they lived their life in their mother’s basement…
There is nothing crispy here! If you want something that really goes with the title, go to Kenji López-Alt’s recipe.
You really actually put the title ultra crispy wings in the oven. Those were really soggy and took well over one hour to cook not to mention the marinade time and the prep time you guys really dropped the ball on this one.
Why would you add all this sugar (Brown sugar and soy sauce) to a wing recipe? So bad for you.
If the guy is using “Wings” in the title of the restaurant, they were probably popular before that.
What happen with the eye makeup????
There is no controversy, Anchor bar is the original.
Sure, some other dude deep fried some whole chicken wings. But wings as we know them now originated from the Anchor bar.
Please stop with the runner up prizes for non-sense.
Hi, please change the title because they’re not very crispy. You could have just said tasty oven wings
Curious why these weren't made on a rack?
Crispy? "Ultracrispy?" What? They look tasty, but this recipe isn't even remotely crispy.
These don't look "ultracrispy", but they do look tasty.
put those in a smoker. yum
Here’s a tip that will actually produce “ultra crispy” chicken wings in the oven.
Marinate as you wish, although totally unnecessary. Just shake off as much liquid as possible.
An alternative method is to simply season as you wish. The key is to, after rinsing, pat wings down with a paper towel before seasoning; and letting them sit for a good 20 -30 minutes. Place chicken skin side down and broil at 500 until a measure of crispness; flipping to skin side up and remove at desired crisp. Feel free to flip and finalize the crisp as desired towards the end. Depending on your oven, a total cook time of 75 minutes or so… (I use parchment paper, although a broiling rack with a touch of your fave nonstick spray probably works even better.)
Weird start…Buffalo? Crispy? I don't understand…
Waste of time; your caption is incorrect at best…. Deceptive. You made a video about the most basic process. 😴
The Anchor Bar was indeed the place Buffalo Wings were invented.
My ex grew up there, and brought me to that place.
Locals at the bar were not unkind while watching us go for the ultimate heat.
No other way ❤
Good patter.
They obviously lied about the title of this video. Those don't look ultra crispy at all. 👎
The "controversy" was recently invented and total BS. Do your homework please.
I am 77 and born and raised in Buffalo and the chicken wing was invented at the Anchor Bar. I was there at the time
"A little crisp around the edges" is not "ultracrispy".
Will definitely be trying this one. Thank you! I usually do mine in the oven at 450 degrees for 45 min then swirl in a mixture of Franks Hot Sauce and butter… then back in the oven for 5 min….
Why y’all gotta clickbait us like that 😢
