Chicken wings survey!

[Metalhead]

Do you like chicken wings?

Or do you run away from them?

 

[Mr. Stevens]

I voted hell yeah. But, no sauce for me.

 

[Forest Cat]

I haven't tried chicken wings. But if I do, I'll try them with some BBQ sauce.

 

[Princess Viola]

This might sound like heresy but I prefer boneless wings over real wings.

Like yeah I know boneless wings are made with breast meat and all that, but I dunno, just easier for me to eat and less messy. It's not like I won't order or eat actual wings, but if there's the option for boneless ones, I'll usually go for them.

Also gotta dip 'em in either bleu cheese, ranch, or buffalo sauce.

With GERD they're a no-no for me. Too bad....I used to love them.

 

[Luca]

Any sauce except for bleu cheese, because I’m allergic. And only boneless for me!

I actually found a recipe of a lady wrapping up cauliflower pieces with with spring roll wrappers then air frying them as faux wings to serve with sauce. But my friend likes wings with creole seasoning.

I've never really eaten a whole lot of chicken wings. how do you cook them? How do you eat them? Most of the wing is this hard, pointy, wingy dingy thingy. What do you do with that?

I buy a big pack of wings, cut off the wing tips which I freeze to make chicken stock at a later date, then I separate the drumstick part of the wing from the part that has two bones in it, put them in a big bowl and toss them with salt, pepper, maybe some cayenne, onion and garlic powder, chipotle powder, whatever sounds tasty, to season them. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F, put the wings in a single layer on a wire rack set over a sheet pan to catch drips, cook for about 20 minutes, flip them over and cook another 20 - 30 minutes or until the fat has rendered out of the wings. No need to add oil to wings as they contain a lot of fat naturally. I like wings oven roasted better than using the air fryer and I don't need a dipping sauce to enjoy them.

The wings were always my favorite part of a chicken. <sigh>

Well, I have some turkey wings and drumettes that I butchered off of a whole turkey a couple weeks ago.I put them in the oven per your instructions. Let's cross our fingers!

They may take longer to cook since turkey parts are bigger than chicken parts. Let me know how they turn out.

Thanks! I guess I'll "start" the timer at fifty minutes. And just let it cook longer as needed

I've never used an air fryer before, but I've seen tons of youtube videos featuring them. Do you like yours? Does it get things crispy like frying would?

Before putting the wings in, I sprinkled sea salt and sage, and then drizzled olive oil on top.

I accidentally set the heat at 450. So at the 50 minute mark, I checked the wings and everything looks browned and crispy. Cooked through. Not burned at all. Delish.

I rarely use the air fryer because my stove oven has an optional convection heat setting. An air fryer is just a little convection oven, and it is a pain to clean it after use. If your stove oven doesn't have a convection heat option, then an air fryer would make sense, assuming you have the countertop space for it. The only thing I really like about the air fryer is that it has a rotisserie attachment that I occasionally use to cook a Cornish game hen. A full size chicken won't fit in it.

Also, it is a common misconception that you don't have to add oil to cook food in an air fryer. You absolutely have to add some oil if you are trying to make something crispy.

Thank you! I adore convection ovens. I learned to use them quite extensively in culinary school. I've been sort of playfully mourning the fact that residential kitchens don't come with convection ovens, for the past couple of decades, lol. The air fryer would be a smart investment, then.
