Chicken Wings Plz. My love!

Wow I'm a chicken 🍗 lover all is good to me

[@sabraphillips9223]

I love the thigh’s too😊!

[@streetcat1510]

The floppy red bit on top of their heads😂.

[@derrickvanzyl6819]

Great recipe and I have tried it. Best one yet. Two/three tips though. Cook the chicken a little longer breast side down to ensure that it is fully cooked. Secondly put the butter on first then season. That way seasoning sticks. Thirdly add additional chicken or chilly seasoning as well for a bit of a bite if you like.

[@Ludmila2508]

Everything I've cooked in this unit has come out great kzbin.infoUgkxD4Qeo-HRLxMfom_PDinM_SBfes00qJsB ! Everything tastes so good. Some of the recipes I've changed a little to improve the taste. For instance, for french fries which call for no oil, I spray them with olive oil and season them with salt and pepper. They come out great! It makes the best toast I have ever eaten. The recipe I use calls for lightly buttering both sides of the bread. It calls for cooking at 400 degrees for 5 minutes on one side and then 2 minutes on the other side. This time has a lot to do with the kind of bread you are using...so keep an eye on it. Also, the fans in this Ninja are a lot stronger than other air fryers. So lay a metal spoon or something on the bread to keep it from flying around. It's a little extra work to use your Ninja as a toaster but it is worth it!

[@Susie-se4mv]

It’s not a ninja. It’s a corsori

[@whomadethatsaltysoup]

Thank you for sharing. I've just bought the Cosori Dual Blaze and was thinking about cooking a whole chicken. So glad I stumbled upon your channel. Clear explanation of the method, ingredients and beautifully presented. I would never have thought of it, but removing the grilling base to cook the whole chicken makes a lot of sense.

[@maryannedeering1663]

Yes, same here, good idea.

[@bunnyt6717]

I agree; I was wondering if I should remove the grill plate, and she answered my question. A very good explanation on how to make a whole chicken.

[@blondiejam924]

That's about 180c hear in the uk

[@Wes-nk1dm]

I think it should be added that you should always check your food with an instant read digital thermometer. The chicken looked great but you don't want to under or over cook it. I do agree letting the chicken rest for a bit does increase the cooking temp 5 or 10 degrees.

[@CookingwithCosori]

Definitely Wes! An instant read digital thermometer is one of the best ways to ensure your meat is cooked correctly. Best, Cosori Chef Margaret

[@tristaryul]

I made this recipe tonight it was absolutely delicious thank you for sharing Eric

[@maitrayee22]

[@sabrinahogan4332]

I didn't have twine but did remove the crisper plate and the chicken fits perfect. Great tip!

[@Poraqui]

Since it has dual heat sources why not use the roast function? Thus eliminating the need to flip the chicken.

[@danielvallee1747]

This chicken is delicious. It’s simple, quick and easy. I will definitely be making it more often. Thank you for sharing.

I'll be getting my Cosori soon and can't wait to try this recipe.

[@hapaboy0808]

That's a dual blaze model so no need to flip the bird. I found that it will brown even better without the bottom tray.

[@davidbelecci6970]

She also didn’t use the bottom tray ;)

[@KT-wr3cv]

This looks delicious but I'm still waiting for recipes using the functions on the Dual Blaze other than air fryer. Thanks

[@rosiguerrera]

I just made this, it came out exactly as yours, some parts were raw but it was crispy on the skin as you claimed it'd be! Thank you for sharing!

[@thealien_ali3382]

Use a smaller chicken or increase the time and heat

[@rosiguerrera]

@@thealien_ali3382: Thank you, I will! This is a must repeat recipe!

[@alainbastien]

I did it without adding any butter or oil. But left the tray ... It released quite an amount of fats below the tray. The skin was crispy. at 180ºC for 1 hour.

[@KT-wr3cv]

Love this recipe but...how about recipes using the Dual Blaze's other functions beside air fryer & when to use the crisper or not. Best air fryer so far! Thanks.

[@CookingwithCosori]

Hi K T! that's great feedback we'll definitely keep this in consideration when developing other air fryer cooking videos! Best, Cosori Chef Margaret

[@mt7427]

Yes I agree, more dual blaze recipes please

[@mikec9311]

Should you use some oil in the bottom of the basket before you add the chicken? Also, I'm curious as to why you removed the crisper plate? I've watched numerous videos on this and you are the only one that removed the crisper plate.

[@almy6071]

[@craftlover9702]

Similar as to how I cook my chicken but I put the lemon and garlic in the cavity... Makes the chicken super moist.

[@CookingwithCosori]

Putting lemon and garlic in the cavity is a great idea, as they enhance the flavor of the chicken 😋 yummm!!

Wow sister i have share same recipe on my channel but your recipe so much delicious 😍

[@CookingwithCosori]

Thank you for watching! Let us know how this recipe turns out for you!

[@mogrevatt4115]

Why put the salt on first then rub it off with the butter.

[@Elif-rh7rf]

I have small double air fryer. I have to cut the chiechen maybe ? Thanks.

[@tomtran1]

In my cosori indoor grill model, it does not have air fry function. What's the equivalent?

[@bigfunky4976]

Always check the temperature. 165F for poultry.

[@utte12]

You should have shown us users what buttons to press on the cosori airfryer. This is a cosori video after all and not just a random cooking show? :)

[@striderdking5132]

She did put on screen Airfry 360° for 35 mins then flip for an additional 25. So the button you want to select is 'Airfry'

[@regscriven]

The parsons nose nice post

[@bixnash1]

I noticed you didn't preheat the basket before placing the chicken in it...any reason? Bx

Can you make southern fried chicken, not chicken cutlets but chicken on the bone fried chicken I mean some good homestyle fried chicken let’s see some of that please

[@markw5779]

All I buy is thighs tbh,but if I do buy a whole chicken I will portion up and the breast will become kievs and freeze the wings,the thighs are so versatile and yummy I use it for most chicken dishes,but I will give this a go,thanks👍

[@fjucsorfrenky852]

why is the background moving?

[@DaveGme]

What do you think about cutting the backbone out of the bird? Sorta like a spatchcock, but not flattened out. Seems like you could get more oil and air in the cavity area and it would cook faster.

[@blackbob3358]

There's always a mush who knows a better way to do it.. Here in Albion, after we'd stopped eating each other, late 17c allegedly, ( 19th in Eire) nothing, i repeat nothing remained of any edible commodity. ( before ya kick off mi boys, Trevalyan's crack was "small beer" compared to the "ssshh" in the Munster, south Leinster region.) .Sorry for "dragging it down", it's just for the "blueshirts, "like.

[@CookingwithCosori]

Hi David! Yes you can definitely do that and it will cook faster. I might recommend getting a slightly smaller chicken so that it's not too crammed in the air fryer basket. Let me know how that turns out if you try it out! Best, Cosori Chef Margaret

[@phyllisbenzie6138]

You dont use metal tongs with air fryer, always use silicone tongs that wont scratch coating.

[@CookingwithCosori]

Hello, we usually use silicone tongs but all we had on set were metal tongs. Since we just used it to flip and life the chicken, the tongs didn't touch or scrape the basket.

[@lucilleball5970]

Just got the Cosori 5.8 quart. I want to make this but air fryer isn't the dual blaze, so are there any changes I would make? It looks awesome. Thank you. Claudia

[@CookingwithCosori]

Hi Lucille! Since the 5.8 quart is slightly smaller than the dual blaze a 5lb chicken will still fit but may be a bit snug, so you may want to consider using a 4.5lb chicken. You can follow the same instructions, but will keep the inner basket in the 5.8 quart when cooking. If using a smaller chicken you can cut the total cooking time by 5-10 minutes! Best, Cosori Chef Margaret

[@SILKYSMOOTHSHAVES]

Can you Spatchcock it as well with the same results

[@phoozchic]

Can I make this in my Cosori Pro 5.8 qt? It’s not a Dual so I’m not sure about the cooking duration per pound. Thanks if anyone can answer!

[@CookingwithCosori]

Hello! Yes you definitely can. Since the 5.8 qt basket is smaller than the dual blaze basket I recommend using a smaller chicken around 4 pounds. Hope you give the recipe a try and let us know what you think! Best, Cosori Chef Margaret

[@sylviaperez6871]

If you are using a cosori dual air fryer, why are you flipping the chicken?

[@CookingwithCosori]

Hi Sylvia! Chef Margaret is flipping the chicken so the skin stays tight and crispy! There will be a lot of steam cooking a whole chicken in any air fryer, so we recommend flipping it for best results in color and texture. Hope this helps and happy cooking! - Chef Mia

[@thealien_ali3382]

I just got my cosori air fryer am looking it NGL am doing it raw

[@theguynextdoor4978]

I prefer the bone in skin on breast and dark meat. I usually cook the chicken breast until 62 C, and let it keep resting until 70C inside.The chicken will carry over cooking while resting.

[@judiecollins-nu5pg]

My Cosori is an oven.... not. a basket. Not a rotisserie either. How to roast a whole oven in mine/

[@jenniferjohnson5683]

Putting the seasoning under the skin makes all the difference.

[@Catsarefab]

Hi, how long do you cook for half a chicken?

[@CookingwithCosori]

Hi Elay! I would suggest starting out with 25-30 minutes for half a chicken. Once the internal temperature reaches 160-165F it's done! Best, Cosori Chef Margaret

[@slience9527]

Did you replace your kitchen? Congratulations! Food still looks delicious!😀

[@danhansen5815]

That’s not the same chicken you put to cook in the air fryer. The legs are not tied the same way before and after the cooking 😮

[@edwardvo8595]

❤

[@barcham]

PLEASE! Never put your fingers back into your prep bowls after your fingers have handled raw chicken. Use one hand to sprinkle the seasonings and your other hand to work them in. If you use the same hand for both, please discard whatever seasonings and salt remain in your prep bowls. Not doing so risks salmonella contamination, and that is not a risk worth taking.

[@lovelygirl1730]

She knows that mind your own business

[@barcham]

@@lovelygirl1730 She did exactly that in this video and did not warn people watching NOT to do it. I do not know whether she knows not to do that or not, but from her actions in this video, she does not seem to, and she set a poor example in this video. So, how about YOU mind YOUR own business? If she has a problem with my comment, I am sure she is quite able to reply to me and does not need you to defend her.

Hi Peter! I am a fan of unsalted butter and then seasoning the food itself with salt so I can control how much I add, but you can definitely use salted butter and/or lower the salt amount to your preference! Best, Cosori Chef Margaret

Don't melt the butter, stuff it under the skin for even better results.

I do not know why you would contaminate the large bowls of salt and pepper with raw chicken from your fingers. Otherwise, an informative and useful video.

[@MichaelOrtello-ek7wi]

I don’t believe it! It’s no way that bird looks like that from an air fryer. The oven or rotisserie can only do that, not an air fryer.

[@user-rz1mu9hq1m]

Hi Michael! I used to think like that too, until I got an air fryer! With the right ingredients and the right temperature/time, you can even make better ones. Ovens have a fixed temperature, but air fryers have a fan above the heating elements, which circulates hot air throughout the fryer at 360 degrees.

[@joannesmith3991]

4 teaspoons of salt , is she crazy that will suck all the juices and moisture out of any meat , a light sprinkle on top maybe but not 4 teaspoons (high blood pressure alert) and as for the butter its not needed , a chicken has enough fats and juices to keep it moist while cooking nice with the lemon and garlic but no dont add 4 teaspoons of salt

[@CookingwithCosori]

Hi Joanne! You can definitely adjust the salt and fat level to your preference:) Seasoning the chicken all over and inside the cavity with salt really allows the chicken to taste well seasoned and butter also gives it a delicious flavor and golden crust, which is why I opted for it! Best, Cosori Chef Margaret

[@barcham]

@@CookingwithCosori You should actually salt the bird a few hours before cooking, or even overnight or longer. Any less than a few hours and the salt will do nothing more than season the outer skin of the bird. 24 to 48 hours is best.

[@barcham]

Salting a chicken, or a nice steak, is necessary for it to attain the best flavour.

What airfryer do you use?

[@streetcat1510]

If afraid this “Chef” is teaching us an awful lot of really bad habits. This is how I would have prepared the bird. Take big bowl and fill it with all the spices you want for seasoning, rub the chicken lightly with the butter and place in the bowl and completely cover it with the spices, then replace it on the cutting board, hog tie it if you’re into that sort of stuff I’m sure you could do a better job 😂. Now Thoroughly wash your hands with a hand cleanser (that kills 99% of household germs) and any surface you might have touched. Preheat the fryer for 5 minutes, and place the chicken in the fryer drawer with 2 old forks bent at 90 degrees, set the time as suggested and pour yourself a glass of wine or 2 whilst you wait. 🫠. Don’t touch any of the internal draw surfaces with anything Metal, Ever, coz this will take the surface coating off and you don’t want to be ingesting any of that dangerous stuff 😮
