I know this should be in the beer/food forum, but I don't think I will get a response fast enough. So I will trust in the infinite wisdom of the lounge monkeys. Here's the question. When you're frying chicken wings is there something that you put in the oil to get that deep golden color? Everytime I try and fry some up they look all pasty white and nasty. Cooking these up for some St. Pattys day festivities in a couple hours.

Thanks

I think the problem is your using clean oil

 

[urbaindk]

I bake (not fry) them with texas pete hotsauce and honey. The honey will caramelize and turn them golden brown. (try baking at 350 for 45 minutes)

Hotter oil

 

[jimmydean]

I use veggie oil with a few pats of butter. But I take them out of the oil and put them in the oven to finish for a little lees grease and get a good look.

I have also used a bake-only method.

Speaking of wings, I just got a bottle of "Ghetto Gormet" wing sauce from a guy down the street. He has a food cart in a parking lot 2 blocks from my office. Has to be the best dipping sauce I have ever had.

 

[Serial Midget]

The secret is the brine. Soak your wings in salted / spiced (tabasco) ice water for a few hours, pat dry, lightly flour and fry in enough oil to cover the wings. Start your oil at 375 and stop adding wings when the temp drops to 350.

Wings are a lot of work for such little return. Without half naked chicks, I don't see the point.

I suppose that is true of many things in life, not just chicken wings...

Im looking for a good Buffalo sauce, and since its not really a thing here in Holland I was hoping you could help.
Is Franks Red Hot any good? Its the first thing that pops up in google while searching for Buffalo sauce thats actually available here...

 

[Sandwich]

Franks Buffalo sauce is a good substitute for real buffalo sauce, which is franks red hot and butter. On the plus side, the butter substitute that they use is low/zero calorie, while butter is not.

Good is subjective... I love that stuff, but I'm not sure I'd call it "good". Sometimes, it's just what you need.

Can't hurt to get some, and then expand your horizon beyond as your taste evolves.

paging @jonKranked . . . @jonKranked to the wings thread plz

OG buffalo sauce is Frank's and butter. And maybe a touch of garlic

 

[maxyedor]

Pretty much any thin hot sauce when combined with butter works well. Frank's is the "go to" but I've managed to survive making hot wings with Tapatio and other random sauces, as long as there's butter it'll work.

 

[jonKranked]

@Kevin in the food forum we have a thread on wings. My current favorite is a 2 day marinade of Frank's and BBQ sauce then grilled. @jstuhlman can vouch.

Their buffalo sauce is too heavy on whatever butter substitute they use imo

Counting calories for fried chicken wings...

Yes... you put the chicken wings in the oil to get that deep golden color. Jesus TF Christ. This is why we can't have nice things.

 

[jimmydean]

I did Frank's with brown sugar and garlic the other night for a sweet/spice combo I was very happy with. I prefer the straight Frank's and butter vs the "wing sauce".

That's because there is no substitute for butter, what you're tasting in that sauce is sadness, and probably hydrogenated vegitable oil, but mostly sadness.

It's vegan, yo.

I dunno, I much prefer the jarred wing sauce to the sysco tub'o'lard you get from most pizza shops. Neither are a match for real wing places, but those are rare outside of upstate NY. Wing places here are a little too aggressive with their "YEAH WE TOOK IT A STEP FURTHER BRUH" sauce, or their wings are breaded sysco nightmares.

It's hard to find good, "I put a chicken wing in the fryer for a while" wings if you're not in NY. I guess I'm a purist, but the best I've tasted are pretty simple.

breaded wings = kill list

Ain't no thing

Havent bought buffalo sauce but went with a Sriracha, Rice Vinigar and DaBomb hotsauce mix...
Pretty damn tasty

You guys are killing me with those fat hormone-fed chicken wings. The wings here in le France are so puny I quit cooking them.

Mine are from Holland, dont they have similar wings in like Carrefour or Intermarché?

 

[Colonel Angus]

no they are puny. Half the size of "Murican wings.

 

[CBJ]

no they are puny. Half the size of "Murican wings.

Then you just eat more wings and the ratio of sauce to meat is higher - I fail to see the problem

 

[Sandwich]

small wings are wings too

feed some chickens HGH

You guys have ducks though right? Birds that fly tend to have burley wings, that make more than acceptable hot wings. Duck is better than goose, but goose is better that dove for obvious reasons.

anything that flies = tough wings.

 

[maxyedor]

anything that flies = tough wings.

I guess I should specify, you ideally want farm raised for wings. I'm not opposed to making wings with ducks I, or somebody I know shot out of the sky, I don't find them too tough, tougher than chicken wings, but not even approaching shoe leather. However, one that's never really flown will still have the genetics of a bird that can fly and have more meat than a naturally flightless bird like a chicken.

What do they do with the foie gras goose once they harvest the liver? I'll but that chubby bastard has some good wings on it.

 

[Jm_]

foie gras wings?

 

[Sandwich]

for a second there I thought you were talking about sous vide wings and I got scared.
