How to Make Chicken Francese and Roasted Wings | America's Test Kitchen Full Episode (S23 E12)

[@scottsnodgrass4361]

Re: Air Fryers. They sure do a good job for small batches of frozen “fried” food. I love them for fish sticks and fries. One thing nobody seems to talk about. CLEANING! While the drawers come out and clean easily, at some point you’re going to look inside and up at the fan and heating element and you may lose your cookies. I took a chance and cleaned mine. Unplugged, I generously sprayed the fan and heating element with Easy-Off and let it sit 10 minutes. Using a kitchen brush, I carefully scrubbed the fan/element. Sitting upright over the sink I then sprayed hot water and carefully but thoroughly rinsed, letting the grease/grime drain into the sink. It looked amazing! I dried what I could with paper towel then let it air dry overnight. The next day, I tested it and it worked as directed. I think the food tasted better knowing that my air fryer was clean.

I made this tonight after watching the shorter video from 4 months ago.. just saw the whole episode posted here…. The chicken Francese slapped. Inhalably delicious

[@suzanne4504]

Great job Becky! Oh my mouth is watering😊

[@kriscahill7207]

I made this tonight. It's as easy as it looks and it's delicious!

[@jaa4742]

I rarely use my oven now. LOVE mine...drawer style. Thinking about getting larger rack type.

[@CrazyBob1357]

Thank you for sharing this with me ❤

Why do viewers pick apart a recipe? They say……..OMG all they did was cook___________. Why did they discard_________? If I cooked it I wouldn’t have done_________. I myself don’t care if they did just make a glorified_______ or if they discarded__________ or they did something I personally wouldn’t do. It seems like an easy recipe and it looks delicious so I think I will try to make it. If we all cooked the same just think of the boring food we would have.

[@235buz]

I use a teaspoon of Watkins creole seasoning also.

[@savannarichard6059]

Looks so good

[@seriouslyreally5413]

Joe wasn't going to let that cooked carrot go to waste for the sake of demonstration😂🥰

[@aislinntheterrible]

I was laughing so hard at this I had to pause the video. He's just standing on the edge of Dan's peripheral vision trolling him while Dan's trying to talk to the camera. Maybe Joe is getting revenge after Dan made him taste the 'leathery' carrot.

[@CassBlast5]

I made both of these! Wings turned out nicely roasty and tender, but definitely do the full four pounds (I had about 2.5) for the method to work right. The lemon butter sauce on the chicken francese was good but I found the coating on the chicken to taste so eggy it was off-putting. My guess is the recipe is fine and that it’s meant to taste that way.

[@john-smith.]

The Dan segment with the carrot...what was that? All I gathered was that neither carrot tasted good. Was it supposed to be some science with the apples that all he did was microwave???? That was the most uneducating thing I've ever seen Dan do.

[@shanerose501]

Yea dude eating tha nasty carrot and staring at Dan was just odd and creepy vibe ...

[@jasonabbott5161]

Seeing that the Instapot version of the standalone air fryer is the pick what about that Instapot topper attachment that fits on your current Instapot instead of buying a whole new countertop item?

[@trackzero0]

Although the Brown Derby went the way of the dodo, and many great menu memories, this is simply piccata without the capers. Sorry Rochester, you got out buffaloed.

[@christinemalaka8636]

I am so confused when they tell you to put extra virgin olive oil in the pan. Because of the low smoke point are we not supposed to avoid it for frying and use something like peanut, canola or some other oil with a high smoke point? I'd love for test kitchen to send a few different oils for testing, before and after being used for frying, so see how much nutrients are destroyed and how much toxic chemicals are generated in each. I could really see Lan Lam delve into it and get to the bottom for us.

[@235buz]

I use peanut oil or grapeseed oil.

[@gregcrisp8743]

Delicious looking chicken 😋😋

[@aaronalaniz3362]

Americas test kitchen is the truth

[@adrianapopovich1616]

❤waoo so good delicious 😋

[@jq7136]

Why did you add regular oil to olive oil? Can’t you use only olive?

[@john-smith.]

To raise the frying temperature of the blended oil.... I think.

[@janzebuski3559]

​@john-smith. Yes. Olive oil adds flavor, regular oil raises the smoke point 👍

[@mikedahlager5572]

You do not address the fact that many oven models don’t have heating elements in the bottom of the stove. Do you the put the pan on the top rack? How about prebaking pie crusts?

[@appleblossom345]

No air fryer wings?!

[@sebeckley]

I'm shocked that they threw out the fond from cooking the chicken. I would have happily cooked the lemons in that and then used it for the base of the sauce.

[@aarondonald1611]

I gasped when she said that lol, but what do I know

[@kinjunranger140]

I think most people would make a gravy out of that fond for another dish. At least I would.

[@umakegoodcookies]

What fond? It was cooked in a lot of oil, shallow fried.

[@ArtU4All]

Are you shocked when they dump (not this episode) the water they cooked potatoes in? That makes a base for a delicious soup.

[@michaelboso9355]

Don't be shocked.

You both look Gorgeous. ❤❤❤ Bob C

[@kevincrawford7943]

Only reason I watch pbs anymore

[@christinemalaka8636]

Sorry, in fairness, I went back and they didn't say specifically extra virgin, just olive oil. Still....I'd love to know the breakdown on the breakdown of various oils

[@elenar2609]

Apparently I have been making this recipe for years, Allrecipes says it's lemon chicken lol

[@umamizaddy]

Eat the wing tips! It contains lots of nutritious collagen and flavor. It's time we stop conditioning Americans to waste food.

[@umamizaddy]

@@sandrah7512 Who is actually storing it in the freezer and remembering to use it to make broth? Get real!

​@@umamizaddy I do. Sorry everyone isn't you. :(

[@BzzzBzzz2.0]

The carrot segment was so weird

[@christinemalaka8636]

One more thing....I'd like to know what is left in your pan, after frying, if you just wipe it out. Are there much toxic chemicals left stuck to the pan, when you add butter to caramelize something else. OK i think that's it :)

[@garywallenphd885]

It’s chicken schnitzel. 😂

[@lugaretzia]

Julia contributing with hungry noises as usual.

[@kayo5291]

So much love in that kitchen, I thought they were going to embrace. 😄

[@WastrelWay]

"An air fryer for any budget" is patently false. There are many people who are doomed, DOOMED I say, to using their stove due to their budget.

[@jean-francoisdaignault9612]

“Persistent firmness” teehee (Sorry, I’m an eternal 5th-grader…)

Wait. Julia’s from Rochester? WE NEED TO SEE A GARBAGE PLATE

It’s just drums.

[@kippaseo8027]

Baconshould only be cooked in an air fryer!🥓

[@Valtrach]

I really have a problem with chefs touching the food with jewelry on and no gloves. Is that what they teach in cooking school? Also, according to Chef Jean-Pierre, that's not how you use a grater for the lemon. Thank you.

[@chrisw1462]

Repeating segments isn't going to get you more viewers.

[@_araminta_]

For God's sake! Do you eat nothing but chicken in the US?

[@thaisstone5192]

Its cheep cheep!!! 😁

[@sher-at-home]

So you're judging a country on what they eat by 1 video? Sheesh!!!

[@_araminta_]

@@sher-at-home No, I'm judging by what is introduced on various cooking channels from the US, and that is mostly chicken, chicken, burgers with floppy, unsavory bred, chicken, turkey and ... guess what? Chicken ... 🤣

[@TheQShow]

The chicken we use has a fantastic yield compared to the resources needed to raise one. We’ve a lot of folk to feed so.. chicken it is!

[@_araminta_]

@@TheQShow I'm not telling anyone what to eat or not to eat. I just noticed that the percentage of chicken recipes as well as "empty" calorie dishes is quite high in recipes coming from the US. I didn't want to step on anyone's toes, it's just a bit boring to watch the same "sensational chicken dinner recipes" over and over again ... 🤷‍♀
