Oh I did 2 weeks ago, yes it works "highly recommend "

[@michaelduncan2759]

Ooh forgot, make the thin batter, and add some to a mixture of the AP flour and potato starch and mix by Hand to get a maximum craggy texture (no dry flour or starch). Then dip wings in batter, shake off excess, then into craggy mixture and gently press to adhere. Crispiest ever yard bird.

[@greavous93]

I like to just salt and pepper + garlic powder the wings and put them on the hot side of the smoker for a ride that makes the skin ultra crispy. Then put them in a ziploc bag with a shot of various HEB wing sauces and give them a good shake. Less is more sort of approach.

[@blindsquirrel3123]

I’m giving this a try. H‑E‑B has the best sauces.

[@jimmywang9011]

Red hot truly is the best sauce…You have the Best content on You Tube

[@tkern2544]

We do this probably 1 time a week. Smoke at 275 for about 45 min. Then fry until crispy. I use a large cast iron pan on the grill, come out great.

[@garybaumberger8631]

I have just recently been watching these videos, past 6 months, and thought, it is always the same knife getting pulled out of the roll of knives, and now this is the first video I have seen with a different knife, I have moved up to level two, challenge accepted. As always, awesome.

[@joselitorodriguez6596]

Love your channel and the energy that you bring you make things look simple and easy, keep BBQing outside.

[@michaelduncan2759]

B-rad, I dated a Korean woman at one time and her mom made fried chicken with a batter similar to yours, but swapped out the corn starch for potato starch. Said the AP flour provided the browning and the potato starch inhibited the gluten in the flour and made thing’s ridiculously crispy. It was amazing.

[@creeksidemktbbq]

Love your channel, man. Thanks for all the cool content and the laughs!

[@ryancorsaut5177]

This is amazing with chicken breasts or drumsticks. I’ve smoked the chicken without any seasoning. The seasoning comes in from the flower and egg wash before you fry them. Smokey crispy spicy and sweet all in one bite. Hard to beat it.

[@tonycaudle]

Liking these new evening releases

[@timlong8837]

Weber vortex wings are the best best wings, hands down no contest

[@bhaglan]

Try cold smoking then frying. Been doing that for years, works really well.

[@milboful]

10 year Henry McKenna! Nice. Oh, great wing work too!

[@jondoe5702]

I work at a very popular bbq restaurant in the south and I smoke are wings for 2.5 hours. then just drop them in the fryer when someone places a order. Then I toss them in a bowl with whatever sauce they want. We sell 400 to 700 a day it’s crazy

[@1202jazzman]

Although my GSD recently passed, all my wing tips became little treats for her...when I would prep wings, shed sit patiently for her share. Give them to your dog RAW only, and they'll absolutely love them.

[@blakeminnerly5195]

Nice! Blake, here. great to hang with you at the L&L training. I'm completely obsessed w smoked wings. I've been trying a buttermilk maranade and dredging w rice flour/tapioca flour/baking soda, then smoking them dredged. The coating gets super dry and hard (and fully adhered). I def don't have it down yet, amazing and crispy one time, kinda bready meh another. I need to do an experiment like this with some different parameters. Very sensitive to the amount of banking soda. Love your techniques here, excited to give em a try!

[@garynedbal9909]

Nice bourbon Sir!! Fantastic Wings!!!

[@xBananaTERROR]

don't know if you've done it yet, but pulling off carnitas with smoked lard sounds like a fantastic idea.

[@TMac0925]

Do you clean prep table any special way after handling raw meat on it? Thank you for awesome content always!

[@mikeselltgmail]

If you watch the video where he shows how to clean his pit, he has a section in there about the table, too.

[@colbey]

If you are ever in OKC, check out Bobo's Chicken. It's a late night food truck and does smoked then fried wings covered in honey. If they are open, its he best for after a night out.

[@canuckinsk]

Korean fried chicken is the best. Blending that with BBQ is genius

[@btrautman191]

What type of cutlery are u using to break them apart?

[@ChefsBackyard]

Great looking wings!

[@fredflintstone358]

I sous vide my wings. Then I cold smoke them. Then I fry them. Sous vide cooks the wings at the perfect temperature every time. You don't ever have to concern yourself with getting to, and then holding, the right temperature of your smoker. Cold smoking them after holds that perfect juicy meat and infuses them with as much smoke as you want to add. Quick fry them after the smoker to add the perfect crunch crust.

[@afinecupofcoffee8476]

I did smoked and fried wings last year for the Duke UNC Final Four game and they were a massive hit. So good.

[@_thisisdavid]

I’ll be at the class later in the year. Can’t wait!

[@GlorytoGodthehighest]

Highly recommend the L&L weekend. They really are all that awesome! The knowledge and hands on is fun. You're going to learn something, eat awesome food, and hang with some amazing people. I like a direct heat, then fried wing personally. Batter every once in a while. Mostly just naked.

[@the_whiskeyshaman]

Yup. Pulling out the McKenna 10 bib. I’d like to see your collection so far.

[@jasonmurray7604]

Have you tried an egg wash to help the flour or potato starch adhere to the wings???

[@adambarron4015]

In south St. Louis, MO (yes, THAT regional of a recipe), we have "trashed" wings. Wings are fried to sub-doneness, tossed in hot sauce of choice (Tabasco, Sieberg's hot mustard, Frank's, etc...), and then flash fried. This is gluten-free (depending on sauce) and gives you a finish much like the unsauced Wondra flour. This will also make any oil un-reusable.

[@anthonymcnatt3799]

The slurry is crisper than the dredge all day.

[@christopherhumphrey]

Also the Korean style wing batter is very close to what you would do with General Tzo's Chicken and Sweet & Sour Chicken. Thanks for the video.

[@zachary9009]

Speaking of wings, have you tried the Frank's seasoning blend? I dried some wings out the other day, then a light spritz of canola oil and a dusting of the Frank's, then onto the kettle. Ate them dry. Pretty good.

[@fayjaimike]

Potato starch needs a double fry! Ultimate crunch that holds up to sauces and the white parts will look much better!

[@matthew.dehaven]

god... i never split mine that easy, haha! I always slit the skin, then pop then out, and use my pairing knife to split them. you make this seem so easy!

[@fulson4]

Do you think those could be hot held for a restaurant or food truck without turning rubbery?

[@Adam-ky1hs]

i actually consider buying the sponsor, good job chud!

[@mr.mysteriousasmr]

Great looking wings 👍👍👍

[@thebbqnurse4010]

I was literally considering doing grilled/fried wings for the big game, then you put this video out! Excellent job as always brother!

[@zakelwe]

Can you not litterally consider doing something ? Litterally is an Amercanism to sex it up just like '"super'" is chucked in front of any verb to sex it up. In the old days we used very or really... but what the hell, dumbing down.

[@fretless05]

Years ago I saw a food show where a restaurant had wings they smoked and fried. I decided I had to try it, so I brined them, put on a rub, smoked them, then put more rub on (probably a mistake because it came off) and then fried them. They were delicious. Maybe the best tasting wings I ever made.... but I haven't done it again because MAN, it was a lot of work for wings.

[@hennyvincent420]

Was it raining by any chance? 🤣🤣 Love the video

[@JohnMGibby]

Wondering if you could dip the wings in buttermilk first to get the breading to stick better.

[@Zaral7]

What's going on Chud? Welcome back tooooo your adoring fans!

[@LD.Walker]

I think a shorter 250 smoke, cooling the wings, doing a drench and dredge, and a double fry (low temp/high temp) would crisp things up nicely.

[@SonicBoomC98]

I like smoky flavor with some crisp

[@cubanraider5373]

let’s go the bbq goat

[@claytonwarren18]

How do you handle/get rid of feathers and pin feathers on the skin?

[@kellyschue3103]

Great video man question does anybody you know do turkey wings like this

[@SenpaiKai9000]

Yo Chuds i need some bbq recs in Austin! Would lvoe to meet up dude!!

[@nathandekens2939]

You should try coating the raw wings in corn starch then either direct heat cooking or smoking….might need a little duck spray to get all the white starch to crisp. Way good!

[@midnighttoreo]

done this but i did like a quick boil brine first then smoke and fry

[@midnighttoreo]

damn u git allata rain lol

[@bakendoogs]

Chud is team drum, now we know

[@redreaperpestfiles6680]

Freakin awesome man!

[@markkilborn512]

I can’t do the class this time, schedule conflict, but I’ll be signing up next time. Can’t wait!

[@ericwhitlock6599]

Doing this for the BIG GAME this weekend. Probably gonna try the “tempura” type batter. GO BIRDS!!

[@richsellskc]

by the way, best way for batter to stick the best is to toss a handful into a sealed container and shake rigorously for a minute or less. this should help get better penetration into the surface and acquire better adherence before deep fry....

[@robcoughlin798]

Wow a Texas boy is doing blue cheese with wings👍🏻

[@michaelclancy4509]

Ok B-Rad. My respect for you just shot through the roof when you busted out the McKenna 10 year Bottled in Bond.

[@mikeb9984]

Nice timing Joshua

[@bradcampbell624]

Mighty damn fine all. I'd like to try that batter fry on smoked pork belly cubes, with some pepper jelly on the side

[@lesterjones9335]

Made them before and your right it has a ham flavor

[@brandtmiles2373]

Did the smoke really come through after the fry?? Every time I smoke, then fry, the oil essentially decimates any smokiness I had achieved, leaving me to wonder why I even went through all the trouble. I am trying another smoke + fry technique this weekend though, where I smoked, vac-sealed, froze, and then will fry, hopefully concentrating the red oak smoke profile.

[@angieroberts1]

Darn it!!!! Wings are my weakness. Imma have to try these ones here

[@SonicBoomC98]

I need to get an outside fryer

[@KeithJDavies]

The knife you're using to separate the chicken wings looks like a nakiri. Probably my favorite knife for most purposes.

[@TheICEBOX32]

I usually smoke them and then hit them with the torch for crispness.

[@S1L3NTG4M3R]

Thanks... great vids

[@richsellskc]

great idea to smoke a ton of these to at least 160F, let them cool down. Then vacuum seal, in bunches. Then freeze for another day. Nice!

[@gcoppa]

Try Smoked Lobster tail with parmesan butter🔥

[@BigJerryS]

Was that a kazoo in the knife holder?

[@mikejanson1939]

What about in an air fryer?

[@ashmatrix7088]

put them in the basket after battering them and lower the basket into the oil. then you wont loose so much fried coating. you can also batter them alternating between wet and dry coating for a thicker crunch. i'm curious how adding buffalo to the wet portion of the batter process would affect the flavor.

[@tombryan1]

Can you provide the research on the zbiotics, thanks

[@deekay6237]

Was reverse searing some steak when I wondered to myself…does chud have a smoked/fried wing video?? Well here we are

[@Just_the_Q]

Was that a kazoo or pot pipe?

[@BigJerryS]

Came here to ask that.

[@Just_the_Q]

@BigJerryS yes, yes I did

[@1loadermanjack]

We're pulling out the wings now!

[@SuperPfeif]

You the man Brad

[@gcoppa]

i want you to make smoked & fried Ribs next🔥🔥🔥

[@duanehenicke6602]

I've fried and eaten a many loin rib 😋 Never crossed my mind to smoke it first 🤔

[@zakelwe]

It will just taste like deep fried ribs, trust me. Better to fry them and then smoke them so the smoke sticks.

[@keithgray8222]

Oh man if you did smoked cuban video that would be amazing.

[@chrisadams3280]

The apparel is right up my ally... pretty sure I was smoking a turkey in shorts and sandals in freezing rain. My loved ones haven't given me an apron yet to complete the Paris worthy look.

[@LiquescentAdventures]

I love the sneaky placement of objects in your soft leather knife case....is this one a kazoo??

[@JulianStevens122]

I would definitely need to add some real seasoning to my wings before cooking them.

[@Trumpetmaster77]

fantastic wiiizzzzzzangs!

[@nickgibb4687]

im a professional drinker i don't need hangover meds. but i do have the munchies after watching this

[@openstenosis]

Awesome, totally awesome! Alright Robinson! Yes you may be too young for that but look it up. Love the channel bud, really really entertaining & fun! Btw, what’s to your right? Something’s over there…but only to the right

[@ericwhitlock6599]

Hey Bradley. Big fan. I’m hoping you can tell me what I did wrong. I took the wings, broke them down, and salted with kosher salt overnight to dry them out. About 20 hours later, I put them in a propane upright smoker with Hickory chips SPG coating for flavor, at 300 for a little over an hour. They temped off at about 185 - 190. There was a water pan in there to keep the meat moist. Pulled them off and fryed them for 5 minutes. Skin was still VERY chewy, not crispy. It was hard but chewy. I like my wings crispy and NOT chewy. Where did I go wrong? My thought was the water pan kept moisture too high and left skin chewy not crispy. What are your thoughts. Was it temp? Would love your input and guidance.

[@tjazz89]

you ready for this one.... So that's what happened to Kazooie... Can't go wrong with wings 👍

[@hetspook666]

Flower, than egg, than bread-crumbs

[@TheAmericanSmoke]

Great video brother! Those Tempura batter wings looks especially killer. Always enjoy your channel! I'm working to grow my channel as well. What type of camera do you use? Or what lense? Thanks and smoke on!!!

[@CosmoCanCook]

Love me some chicken wiangs!!

[@michaeltooke9164]

Food Cost - you need to weigh the wing tips to determine the true price difference, right?

[@bobhinley5410]

I saw Matt from Meat Church did something similar. He fried at 220 F then removed and waited an hour, then fried at 400F for a finish look. Your thoughts?

[@garryhammond3117]

No way to "F" up wings - they are ALL good. No snake tonight? - The chicken musta got 'im. - lol - Cheers!

[@MrWilliewonka69]

So please tell what is with the random idem in your tool roll that changes every video

[@MtnManTom1]

Put the wings in your thin coating , then roll in the flour , then deep fry... extra coating...

[@thomasjensen4979]

No expert here. But if I m doing a wet dredge. I have had good results patting the wings dry after they come off the smoker before going to the fridge. Getting the excess moisture off before it sets seems to be a big difference

[@AnthonyBarras-c1j]

No seasoning?

[@tlc2011jlc]

A green bambooish knot?

[@Lamz..]

Isn't breading them before smoking an option?

[@JohnMGibby]

I think the breading first will insulate the wings from the smoke

[@Lamz..]

@@JohnMGibby I'm a total layman, but you would think the breading creates a bigger surface area on the wings, and it will absorb even more smoke that way. When ordered dump them in the desired glace and put them in the broiler for a couple of minutes and they're done. Could work, I think.
