“My chickens sleep in the trees, 30ft up in the cedars like wild turkeys” probably the most Brad quote

[@willcookmakeup]

He’s not wrong though lol. We have a ton of coyotes in CT so you’ll often drive by free range farms and see chickens and turkeys in the tress hah

[@claytonjacobs8812]

Honestly...bars! Love brad

[@wadeboutilier2203]

Yes

[@ohboy5999]

Chickens do climb trees to sleep tho Do your research

Chris really opened his segment of the wing episode with a thesis on what a chicken wing is to him on a metaphysical level

[@carrots2793]

I was watching this sped up, and it was fine until I got to Chris where I suddenly had to pause and blink at the screen for a few seconds. XD

[@gagamba9198]

Chris's were the only ones audibly crunchy too. I like to keep them simple. Three days brined - yes three days. Lightly coated in a mix of flour, rice flour, and baking powder. Fry. Top with heated Frank's Red Hot sauce and butter. Homemade ranch and blue cheese dressings on the side. Freeze the blue cheese to make it easy to grate. Carrot and celery sticks. Beer. PS. Banana ketchup is awful. Too sweet. Lived in the Philippines for many years and I never took to it.

[@wouldntyaliktono]

"Cold beer and free parking" seems like the sort of thing that would entice Brad to go anywhere without question.

[@tranilator]

Missing Gaby popping in, saying hi and chatting with the crew. She was this ray of pure and spontaneous positivity, that I really really miss, and the show always shone brilliantly when Gaby and Brad were together.

[@IsinMoon]

Gaby has her own KZbin channel now!

she left because working with brad is a pain - he's really mean and treated her badly... :(

[@pattygilson9669]

Harold is a fantastic addition to the B.A. team. I love his style!

[@andreassvensson228]

his wings looked awful

[@cameronkoch482]

Bobby Flay has fresno chili, Brad has pink peppercorns. Two timeless love stories.

[@djgiermann8826]

Idk sumac is up there with brads love. Maybe one of the spices is the "other spice" and there is a whole telenovela thing.

[@clashwithkeen]

@@djgiermann8826 True but nothing holds a candle to his love of garlic.

[@cameronkoch482]

@@clashwithkeen He loves Allison (Allicin), but who honestly doesn't love garlic?

[@beans6478]

Harold Villarosa was most exciting to watch in this video..and he killed those duck confit wings! Love seeing new people on here.

[@peace22luv1]

Chris pulling out the Crystal hot sauce just put him a whole tier of legendary.

[@leachristensen8170]

For those of you who may want to try pink peppercorn, be aware they are part of the cashew family for anyone who has a nut allergy!

[@Gilakarlsson]

Surprised at how good the grilled ones looked. The baking powder is key 👌🏼

[@muniraomar6318]

My girl Tiana!! 💛 we need to see more of her!! Super talented with a bright future!!

[@pdfbanana]

I miss when wings and oxtail were some of the cheapest cuts you could get

[@phanboyiv]

Tiana understands how to make proper chicken wings.

[@LeslieOuro]

That tangy tamarind glazed sounds incredible! Gonna try it thanks Devonn and Bon Appetite.

[@deprofundis3293]

Right? I love tamarind!

[@RyedrellShow]

I was also thinking about trying to make them.

[@Niscimble]

Brad really steals the show every time I swear

[@kbk2192]

Yes, but a lot of that is because the others are so bland and boring in comparison

[@Niscimble]

@@kbk2192 I wouldn't go quite that far, I just think he is witty and has a charming personality and is a good fit for this kind of media

The way Tiana talks about chicken wings is totally Alison Roman vibes. IYKYK

[@sardaewilson]

Chris understood the assignment. The face he made when he tasted the flour was hilarious

[@beans6478]

Jessie Yuchen’s braised wings look soooooo delicious!!!

[@jimmy_betmore]

No kidding! I typically like crispy wings but those looked incredible!

[@jasonfuss8044]

@@jimmy_betmore If you like it crispy you probably could put them in the oven high and fast to get a bit of crisp

[@oz242.]

believe it or not, coke wings are very common around china. I can def say it's a weird concept but the flavour of the dish is quite the opposite

[@TylerJamesPryor]

Yes definitely my favorite if appearance is any judge. I’ll have to try these

[@RyedrellShow]

They do look great.

[@MaikasCooking]

All of them know how to cook but only Harold how to eat. 😂 😘 💕

[@Al-xr6ho]

I want more Jessie, Tiana, and DeVonn content!

[@stephaniedavis236]

Thank you Chris for keeping it original and simple!! Yeees baby 😋🤤😊🤙🏾 goodness

[@pachanas703]

I obviously miss the old BA crew, but I really love the new people! And they obviously know their way around some chicken wings. 😋

[@reemgh878]

I can easily believe anything chris says, if he says it is tender or spicy IT IS TENDER AND SPICY! his taste buds is 100% true.

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

I love the Pro Chef's shows where every chef does their favorite interpretation of different foods.

[@humanonearth1]

Jesse's remind me of Korean style fried chicken. All of the treatments look amazing. Who doesn't love wings?!

[@ariella2782]

Omg, looks delicious! Tiana’s dry rub wings looks so tasty grilled. They’re tender and crispy and the seasoning gives so much flavor. I’m hungry now 🔥

[@diegofeliciano2435]

fisrt video I see after the whole Editor in chief being fired, and im so happy about this diverse cast. ill keep watching as I always did

[@humanonearth1]

Brad, that's a neatly trimmed stache. That will limit the amount of sauce retention when eating wings. You want it to retain some, to enjoy later, but not too much. Nice job.

[@Ilendir]

Love the episode, seeing different styles is really great. Standout for me is certainly Kendra's Karaage inspired chicken and chris with his overall perfectionism.

[@tyriliusmc9798]

I love these videos. Such a treat getting to see all these insightful recipes.

[@1b2m]

Brad: "This is not the time to walk away." Also Brad: *walks away* :)

[@mykalmonroe]

“Each wing kinda has its own amazing little map of spices. . .” I love Tiana!!! She’s hilarious! And her wings look bomb. I bet they’re so flavorful. I WANT TO TRY THEM!!! xo, This hungry southern gal

[@courtney6891]

that dry rub wing looks to die for

[@nsikanfriday1311]

Chris Morroco's initial comment about wings is absolutely fantastic! What a definition: microcosmic universe! Sheesh. I want to eat that wing

[@einundsiebenziger5488]

Had he just said "microcosmos" instead of using that redundant expression ("cosmos" and "universe" mean the very same), it would really have been philosopical. But all recipes are worth a try.

[@yvonnesantiago7637]

Brad is very entertaining and an excellent chef. His enthusiasm is so infectious.

[@BearMeat4Dinner]

Brad glad to see ya back in da kitchen!!!!!!!

[@yooperdog]

Tiana Gee's wings looked the best. Yes please.

[@mayordoctor3961]

Harold respectful af, the humility shows his true character

[@user-dd8fg6rm1b]

Am I the only one that notice Harold is lil bit different in this video? Like I watch his videos and he's hype chef but today.....

[@Klapaocious77]

I want a solo Tianna cooking vid!

[@TheIrishGiant]

I couldn't believe how many pink peppercorn scented products are already on the market. Candles, oil diffusers, and incense. Might have to try that.

[@natashafraser8685]

My fav perfume has pink peppercorn, “You” by Glossier. It’s THE best

[@nukemall5029]

I miss the old days

[@alienlizardqueen8748]

If Brad sold candles (pink peppercorn, sumac, kombucha, etc), I would buy them all.

[@johnmillay6790]

Braised ones sound the best, look so good

lovin' the 7 ways series!

[@josiepark5521]

wow i used to watch ba videos a lot, few years ago and most of my favs are gone i don't recognise half of them, but always a good watch

[@Adrianaisjawsome]

There was an exposé started on Reply-All about how they dismissed POC chefs in the magazine and on the YT page. It does seem like the new management is trying to be more inclusive, which is nice and the new chefs are cool but I do miss some of the oldies as well. (They never finished the exposé because it ended up uncovering some similar practices at Reply-All).

[@hollowronin1786]

HAROOOOLD MY BOI LET'S GO

[@the_chandler]

Brad and Chris agreeing right off the bat that flats are better than drums has me so validated.

[@johnmillay6790]

The way Chris explained a chicken wing in the beginning....I think I'm in love

[@GoBuddieGo]

I swear whenever Chris breaksdown food and cooking I just sit there in amazement.

[@SameeraKhurana]

I literally watch this channel for Chris

[@BigProllum]

If only chickens wings didn’t cost more than whole chickens anymore…

Yes, it's crazy. Have a buddy who was a butcher when they threw chicken wings away!!

[@BigProllum]

@@devinthomas4866 Wild! Time to fry some thighs I suppose 🐔

Fry some drums. Trust me

@@crumblebee6728 mid Atlantic area. I think it’s just supply chain/labor shortage issues. It’s weird that it’s just wings and not the rest of the chicken
