Extra Crispy Baked Wings | Kenji's Cooking Show

This is an updated version of my oven-fried buffalo wings from Serious Eats: www.seriouseats.com/2010/02/t...
The only difference is that here I add a teaspoon of corn starch per pound of chicken wings in addition to the salt and the baking powder.
It uses a technique I originally developed for a roast chicken recipe in Cook's Illustrated, with the goal of extra-crispy skin: www.cooksillustrated.com/reci...
When you rub the skin with baking powder, you end up forming these teeny tiny bubbles on the surface of the skin, that give it extra surface area and crunch. The result is chicken wings that are as crisp as deep-fried, but without the hassle of a deep fryer. This is another one of those techniques that has gone on to become extremely popular, because it works. Try it!

Yeah and I know this is going to come across as pretentious but I mean it. Andrew Rea (Binging with Babish host) is a (massively successful) entertainer that also teaches, Kenji is a researcher and a teacher that also entertains-- He's a veritable professor of food. Kenji is the one you watch when you want to be a really good cook and understand why things happen. Babish, Bon Apetite, etc are perfectly fine educational entertainment. Chef John is kind of in between the two I guess. I have a ton of respect for all of them.

I'm from Buffalo and these are my favorite! Yes, It is imperative that you make them crispy before putting in the sauce, so many people don't do this. I use Franks Redhot. I like blue cheese dressing and I do it with yogurt or sour cream and mayo like you, and add lemon, salt and blue cheese crumbles.

[@WampaLord]

Great tips, Kenji! Just made these today and the skin was SO CRISPY I could not believe it. They taste like they were deep fried! I cook mine in an air fryer instead of the oven but the baking powder and corn starch rest in the fridge made all the difference.

So glad I watched this video. The Serious Eats recipe was far and away the best oven wings recipe I’ve ever tried. I’ve made the wings so many times that I know it by heart. I figured this video was just a rehash of that recipe. However, the addition of corn starch and the encouragement to use convection made the original recipe so so much better.

I've been adding cornstarch to the recipe from Serious Eats for awhile now & it really does help make a crisper wing. This method is so good my family doesn't even like to go out for wings anymore.

Who knows if you read these comments, but thank you chef! Thank you so much for thinking deeply about how to make the best convection oven cooked wings of all time. The 1:1:1:1 ratio of kosher salt/baking powder/corn starch/pound of wings* was an incredible find for me. I watch other cooking shows and KZbin* suggested your recipe for these wings. I make wings every other week during NFL football season and this is hands down the best recipe I have ever used. This recipe went into the family recipe book, because it is simple, honest, and effective! Thank you again chef! I am merely a home cooker stealing from all of you fine, hard working, true chefs. For those reading this shit, I did precisely as chef suggested and cooled water chilled wings, which I patted down in clothes until they were dry on the outer later, for 6.5hrs in my refrigerator, used this recipe and they were done just like this chef told us. Just hand dry your wings folks in cloth and move forward with this recipe!!! Don't spend the money, even if you can. Edited*

[@seharmon]

I can't stop making these wings! I've been experimenting with different hot sauces--I'm not a Frank's girl, so I've come up with 2 different combinations. One uses 50% Sambal Olek, 50% Sri Racha, with the dipping sauce being a Kewpie mayo/mirin/rice wine vinegar combo. The other is using California Pepper Plant Sauce (out of Gilroy), which has a jalapeño base and lots of garlic. I think next on the list is to try using some of my other favorite hot sauces instead. Thanks a ton, Kenji!

This is the first recipe of yours I discovered almost 4 years back. Since then I've probably gone through most of the SE site and Bravetart's book since then. Funny how a detailed article on chicken wing science would get me into cooking seriously. Cheers

[@krist39]

One thing that I learned to do (almost by accident) when I worked as a line cook - don't use all the sauce in the first tossing, then broil the wings, then toss again with the left-over sauce. Works especially well with a sauce that has a little sugar (I tend to add just a little BBQ sauce for this very reason) because the sugars caramelize, boosting the flavour. Although that all comes at the cost of a little crispiness.

It really doesn't take anything special to make the best and crispiest wings in the world, just a little planning.

[@ryanwilly23]

Nice vid. Just a couple tips as I’m doing this with regular wings from the store. 1. Put the chicken on the rack without the dry rub the night before. Even after drying with the paper towel, the salt/baking powder/corn starch kind of turned into a paste. Instead, just let them really dry out overnight and then in the morning add your rub for that nice dusting. 2. Use half the amount of salt if you are using table salt since Kenji is using coarse Kosher salt.
