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!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

@@evonnecarter1606 I got you Ms. Carter. Just came from the market and about to wash these greens and get my pot liquor started. Might even do the Mac and Cheese too, because Mr. Make it Happen would say: “ why da hell not?!” Lol

Why the hell not!! 😆 🤣 😂 Girrrrrl I wish we were neighbors!! I would bake a pound cake and we could eat and chat it up while you're throwin down in that kitchen! Lol

[@UnitedSchemerCA]

Most wings spots use cornstarch with a double fry 🔥

[@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 😁

[@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 😋

[@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.

[@mamashye84]

[@sherylfarmer]

You no what you are an amazing cook to many people are trying to find something wrong this is Sheryl farmer I love watching you cook very nice😊

[@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]

Facts💯

[@wakilorokunle9650]

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

[@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?

[@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.

[@2hotcoko]

That was fun! Bloopers at the end. I like the color on the cornstarch version too. But it doesn’t matter to me either. Thanks for the tip on the flower at the bottom of the pan.

[@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.

Use potato starch instead. Gets crispier chicken than cornstarch. Plus, if you want to oven fry your wings, you don’t need flour, just the potato starch.

[@simplywandaful5889]

No wing gets left behind but there’s a difference in texture and appearance to me with the cornstarch. I usually do a mix with flour 🤌🏽. Thanks for this recipe Mr MIH 🏝

[@MrMakeItHappen]

thanks for your support!

[@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

[@roxannereynolds7829]

They both look good and sounds crispy. I'm going to try the cornstarch for the first time.

[@octoriabyers4794]

I definitely heard a louder crunch with the cornstarch wings. Literally making wings as I type lol I added cornstarch now!! Thanks!

[@Maeve_Puffs]

Thank you so much! I still haven’t mastered it and have tried a couple of ways. It looks good but as soon as you inhale the chicken, all of the breading falls off. Gonna try this!

[@arthurthomas5479]

After u dredge let it sit for a couple of minutes before dropping it in the grease, that should help some
