Here's The Secret To Perfectly Crispy Fried Chicken Wings (Corn Starch vs Flour)

[@phillyguy8541]

When breading with flour with or without corn starch, try adding a dash of baking powder to the mix. That will lighten it up a bit and also increase the crisp factor.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

good call

[@seemee5883]

Yup... now.quit givin away my secrets 😅 Just kiddin much lov

[@tayebattle6894]

That’s exactly what I was gonna tell him

[@antoinettebell9032]

Yes yes I do it with flour, cornstarch and baking powder

[@jamesg8246]

Just make sure you get baking powder that doesn't have aluminum in it. Will ruin the taste. Just check the label before using.

[@ItsGr82BUnique39]

Both wings look scrumptadelicious (lol). If it’s visual you’re going for; cornstarch and flour has it. But just like the Chef, I would eat both and I will definitely be making these this weekend with some greens, yams, mac and cheese, cornbread and for dessert- peach cobbler. Thanks for another great video- you never disappoint! ***Update***** First and foremost, many thanks to Mr. Make It Happen for sharing this recipe. Second--YOU MUST MAKE THESE WINGS WITH THE CORNSTARCH. That crunch from the initial bite is mind blowing!! And the color???? The taste??? What?? This is now my go to chicken wing recipe. EVERYONE IN MY HOME AND MY NEIGHBOR AGREES. Wow!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@yasminemobley7858]

😋 When my dad makes fried chicken, or anyone in my family for that matter, makes fried chicken, he uses a combo of corn starch and flour. He seasons it, sifts it a couple of times, then it's ready to bread the chicken.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

nice... love it

[@nahimaauguste5343]

I also do the same.

[@KyleenDrake]

How we do it here in my part of the south too. This whole buttermilk stuff hasn't ever made much of a difference.

[@Whyareyoulying100]

@@KyleenDrake buttermilk isn’t for the crunch it’s to brine the meat. Your chicken was definitely less juicy

[@KyleenDrake]

@@Whyareyoulying100 50 years experience cooking. I've tried many recipes of fried chicken over these last five decades. And buttermilk goes better in biscuits, not wasted on chicken. It does not make that much of a difference. I know it's not for the crunch.

[@karenlewis9578]

Both had a crunch but that cornstarch one definitely had more crunch 😁

[@alexblaze8878]

Always double fry. The second (60 seconds) fry absolutely reinforces the crispiness of the fried crust. Also, I use 100% corn starch when battering fried foods. You’ll never go back to flour once you see how much crispier the coating is.

[@sonnasmith8253]

Imma have 2 try that

[@AuntLALA]

I'm trying this tonight after seeing this comment ! ❤thanks

[@BabaJigga]

Do you season the cornstarch?

[@demarcuswake-upwilliams2028]

As a true chef such as myself I would like to add my 2 cents lol. From my frying experience, the 1st batch cooked always turn out darker then the rest of the batches! So I think you should try the test again but fry the cornstarch/flour 1st then the flour only and see if your results stay true!

[@armandsmith1027]

​@armandsmith1027 is that because the sweet spot of the of the oil temperature is found?

[@myrehmix2012]

I use self-raising flour to fry my chicken and vegetables and it gives it that crunch without using the cornstarch.

[@ufartface]

has baking powder in already?

[@elizabethletsoso2558]

Yes

[@janelynn2560]

My mother-in-law from Alabama always used self-rise flour and her fried chicken was always dy-no-mite❤

[@kandicejackson-drake3862]

They both look FIRE! My Mom always used just flour when she made fried chicken. She would add season salt to the flour. She would cover it with the flour mixture, dredge it through a couple of eggs, and then flour it again before frying it.

[@Free-our-freedom]

This has become my FAVORITE KZbin channel!! My husband questions the sounds I make (from the kitchen) when I'm on these videos 🤤. Y'all try the baked spaghetti 🍝 it's next level 😋

[@alwaysjale]

Nothing beats whole fried chicken wings 🤤 but I think the corn starch version will be crispier

[@gina4008]

I've always mixed 2 pt. flour 1 pt. cornstarch for crispier chicken crust. I will try the Sazon Goya to see what flavor enhancement it imparts. Looks great.

[@couldbecooking]

The only bad thing about this video is that I watched it right before bedtime! 😅 (pretty sure I'm going to dream about fried chicken wings tonight! 😅)

[@UnitedSchemerCA]

Most wings spots use cornstarch with a double fry 🔥

[@BlackDragonRuler]

I honestly like the corn starch/ potato starch mixture I don’t include flour it’s way crisper without flour.

[@shannonmld123]

I wonder why people don’t do this more often

[@BlackDragonRuler]

@@shannonmld123 i wonder the same. I think a lot of people would be shocked to find out how light and crispy it is.

[@kathyharris1049]

I think I can say right now since you have them both out, I think the cornstarch and flour is more uniform. Like you said that’s the one I’ll try. I’ll let you know how it turns out thank you your friend Kathy.

[@donnahallback3636]

Looks delicious 😋. You can add a little bit of cornmeal for extra cripyness (about 1/4 cup won't hurt). Cornmeal blend or regular cornmeal would work. Thanks for the recipe. Will try.

[@TheeOne4.44]

Both kinds looked delicious, and that SAUCE 😋 ... Using Mustard in your Batter will lock in more flavor and make it crunchy.. It's also an Alternative to the Cornstarch. I personally use all 3 (Mustard/Cornstarch/Flour) with Spices, and I receive many requests to Cook for Events. I'm not even a Chef, but appreciate when people love my Cooking 🤗

I've never tried the corn starch in a fryer. I know that method makes them very crispy in the oven. Its football season so I'll be doing it up both ways! Thank you for the video

[@eulogy_9815]

1) corn or potato starch does magic to fried chicken 2) adding 1/4 to 1/3 cup of flour to buttermilk batter gets some more irregularity in texture of the breading when dredge adheres (personal opinion) 3) double fry (300-320 degrees), amplify the crusting great quality vid, great looking food... thanks for sharing my man

That sazón is a MUST at our house and honestly it’s nice to see it used commercially since it has msg. But i feel like msg has a worse rep than it deserves. Side note: for my gluten sensitive folks, tapioca flour is a great alternative I’ve found for fried chicken and gives a nice crunch as well

My brother, I don't think the dredge(just flour or with cornstarch)really matters per se but the seasoning(s) must be on point. To crisp my chicken more I will brown it some on the stovetop then place it on a cookie sheet fitted with a wire rack and place in a 400° oven for 30-45 mins. It beats standing at the stove wondering if its done.
