Fact you dropped this on Super Bowl Sunday is impressive 😂

[@MrMakeItHappen]

🤞🤞

[@karenzurek9141]

I always add Cornstarch to my flour when frying chicken. Also for Chicken fried Steak. Thanks for your alternatives.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

🤝🤝

[@YdnickniL]

Me too

[@raymond-wk2gp]

I mix corn starch, baking powder and flour, and some garlic salt pepper and whatever else you like. I bake mine on a wire rack 425f for 40 minutes flip and spray with pam if needed and another 15 minutes. Can't beat it. No deep fried mess, easy clean up

[@aohanele]

Will try this

[@user-ed2sx5lp3b]

​@aohanele I'm definitely gonna try. I know the family will be amazed and very happy! ❤️ 🙏

[@Hailknow1]

This was the method that grillin with ab used both are effective but oven jsant as crispy

[@jackieroot9560]

I use just baking powder, salt & pepper. Then I bake them in the oven around 425 degrees. Super crispy!

[@rockwelaj]

Y'all know that's just self-rising flour and seasonings, right?

[@francesq6592]

I use a Korean fried chicken mix you can get at H Mart or online which have a combo of flour and corn starch in it. But I add a bit more of corn starch and add extra of my own seasoning in there like chicken or beef Dasida (it’s a Korean seasoning similar to bullion). Double fry the chicken wings and VOILA. Hope this helps.

[@nicolebecker2272]

Yumm

[@reppinbkny975]

For really pretty chicken, I season my chicken with Sazon as well as use it to season the dry flour mix or wet batter. Use Sazon con Azafran or Sazon with coriandar & Annatto.

[@angelmom2211]

I'm an old school gal taught by an old school mom. Nothing beats good ole fashion flour for me! It's not just the crispy-ness. It's also the taste and your comments about how the one with corn starch tasted different sealed the deal for me! LOLOL

[@KelvinsKitchen]

Hey Matt! Just wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your latest video on finding the crispiest chicken wing method. Your thorough experimentation and honest taste test really made for an engaging watch! I appreciated how you walked us through each step, from the brining process to the homemade ranch dressing and quick buffalo sauce. And the final reveal of the potato starch method being the crispiest was both surprising and informative. Keep up the fantastic work, looking forward to your next culinary adventure!

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Thank you!! I really appreciate that!

[@judyfrank2551]

I have seen several videos lately on wings -- fried, double fried (Meat Church looked very interesting and sounded really crispy), air fried, and baked -- using flour, cornstarch, baking soda, a combination of corn starch and baking soda, and probably a few other combinations. Great video though as always. Really enjoy watching your channel and learning your recipes and methods.

[@staurusjefferies4608]

I mix my cornstarch & all-purpose together to fry my chicken. Just an FYI.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

👌👌

[@panther6152]

Damn, we need to get 100 wings now. Do wet batter in all 3 forms, Also test the club soda in wet batter. Also go to Whole Foods and get the Hawaiian style batter 1) flour wet batter 2) corn starch wet batter 3) potato starch wet batter 4) club soda wet batter 5) Hawaiian batter 6) pineapple juice batter

[@reppinbkny975]

Good ideas!!!

[@kathyjessup2297]

I love crispy wings but flavor is more important. I’ll stick with the flour coating. You’re making my mouth water ❤

[@flowersfam3462]

Agreed! Taste is very important!😊

[@campbellsportsinc]

Hey boss 😎 adding a little bit of baking powder to the all purpose flour might win this contest 🔥

[@sparkle3000]

I use salt and lemon to soak my chicken. You'd be surprised how much yuk comes off. It has your chicken glistening, you wanna take pictures. I always make a tempura mix with eggs, water and cornstarch, then coat with with, seasoned flour, cornstarch and pankko bread crumbs. Perfection every time.

[@chrisanngomez-reynolds5346]

That’s true right way I don’t be eating from people..

[@Mainecoonlady.]

You can use any of those methods and add baking powder! BOOM. Lighter with fluffiness added to the crispy. The coating puffs up in the oil. Kind of the difference between regular and extra crispy at KFC. But honestly it’s so good you might not want to soak it in sauce. Dipping is better, but I like crispy better than spicy, so that’s a personal preference. Interesting that the cornstarch was the best though. Imagine cornstarch + baking powder. 😋

[@coceanyes]

Showing three examples was great! I am gluten free by allergies so the potato starch and corn starch methods were very helpful! Thank you

[@shellycarter155]

All of these wings look heckins delish! I’ve used the combo of cornstarch and flour. It tastes much better than just the cornstarch… Awesome tutorial!!!😊

[@1988remixx]

Yeah if you mix the potato starch 50/50 with APF you’ll get the same crispiness as PS but you will get the darker color.

[@LadybugLuv]

Thank you to test these for us! They all look delicious! You make cooking look simple. I can tell you love cooking. Thanks for sharing with us!

[@chrisanngomez-reynolds5346]

Using vinegar or lemon juice is a cleaning remedy to get red of unwanted bacteria 🦠 based on how it’s handled it also helps with a good taste …

[@Katherine-zk5zj]

So....do a third of each drege mixed together Pop🎉goes the crunch 😂... SLAP THE COUNTER 🖐️

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Not a bad idea

[@reppinbkny975]

​@@MrMakeItHappen do wet batters as well. I use your seadoned flour as acwet batter along with a little cornstarch!

[@idonhadenuff5979]

Exactly what I was thinking.

[@jerriebrown3766]

I do half AP flour and half cornstarch. Comes out perfect.

[@gina4008]

I always combine equal parts flour and cornstarch (with seasonings); makes for a great crispy crust chicken and add water to the flour mix for a wet batter makes for a great fried shrimp too. There's something about the sound of chicken frying.... makes my mouth water with anticipation 🙂.

[@melia_diva]

I made these wings today using the flour method and they were absolutely delicious! The wings were very crispy and so flavourful. I also made the smashed potatoes and everything was so easy to make. This will be my go to wing recipe from now on.

[@jerriotglencamp7562]

Thank you for the lesson. Food network shows over look the importants of the breading method. You can also use panko bread crumbs.

[@Pamela-fd4ie]

I'm new to your channel you are Super cool, I laughed so hard off the challenges with your friends. I needed the laugh. Please do more. I literally binged watched your entire collection of videos, so impressive.

[@marlenebright1564]

I use a mix of flour and season bread crumbs. I use your season on my chicken and in my flour mix. Golden brown every time. Try it you will love it. I also use this mix on my pork chops

[@TraceyBoyland]

Right, potato starch and All purpuse together

[@patriciahartless2095]

Thank You for sharing . The chicken wings different coating to use . You guys kick back . Enjoy your super bowl day . Beer and chicken wings 😊.

[@mcgowananderson7405]

Can you do an Airfryer version ?

[@muffin2cutiepie]

Listen, that 2nd batch was way more “Crispy Sounding” that thing sounded like yall were biting into to dry “Fall Leaves”…..😂😂😂

[@lindabryant137]

Love your channel...it's the bomb

[@joanargilan9381]

Your other video the all purpose flour with the cornstarch is better and tasted better according to you . somebody also recommended only a dash of baking powder to the flower makes it even crispier, with the 3.

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Yeah baking powder adds a nice airiness

[@sherylgauthier6122]

I like the look and sound of all of them. You are the man. The sauce looks amazing too.❤❤😮

[@ThaDogfather_YT]

You're supposed to mix either potato ot corn starch with the AP Flouryou get that crispy crunch and the flavor with the flour

[@ericanelson1461]

Potato starch um.. That’s new to me but I’ll have to try it out.

[@mcgowananderson7405]

Thank you for the tips

[@glenntriplett]

Matt, chicken 🍗 wings look Delicious 😋😋, keep up the great work ✌🏾✌🏾 I'm from the DMV area.

[@patriciaferrazas-seidu8202]

I always bust out laughing when people think that we mean cleaning or killing bacteria when we say "Clean/Wash Your Meat!" Anyone with sense knows you cannot kill the bacteria in meat by adding lemon/lime, salt, and or vinegar. It just adds additional flavor and helps make the meat juicy and tender and removes any residual gunk from the chicken pieces. especially when they've been processed in a meat plant or butchers shop. Youd be surprised by how much stuff is left floating in the water afterward. You definitely wouldn't want to eat that stuff.JS

[@shreenawilliams2164]

Cornstarch ,Flour and than potato starch

[@SLAYY510]

The subtle shade is crazy lol

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

Thanks for tackling the important topics! Now I know how to make the best crispy wings! Nom!

[@moca3512376]

I add corn starch to my flour.. I wanna try adding potato starch to corn starch.. May a little of all three🤷🏾‍♀️.. I also don't like miracle whip.. Bt I do add sum to my mayo for my potato salad n macaroni n tuna salad

[@chrischrist7982]

Please make a video on southern cube steak recipe!

[@NadiaB_NYC]

Nice! Caribbean peeps use vinegar/ lime/lemon to cut the meat smell. Not to kill any bacteria...

[@ladygreer9323]

Hey Mr Make it Happen. Happy Super Bowl Sunday. Enjoy!! 🐞😋❤️

[@No.one.else.but_ny]

I mix corn starch and flour equally watching from SXM

[@johnwinnard5589]

Dukes Mayo earned you my sub. 👍👍

[@cicelyhausley5885]

I understand thw crispest wing scenerio, but whats the method for the absolute best tasting wing?

[@chrisspearing3972]

I do a half an half with ap flour an corn starch comes out crunchy every time.

[@ComeOut.BeYeSeparate.]

Sweet or Dill pickle juice in the marinade?

[@debievans]

No to Miracle Whip at my house too😂

[@J1ntu]

NOOOOO I literally just finished making wings lol just means I have to make more next week

[@dondag13]

Now you’re making me hungry:))))

[@dorissmiley6098]

They all looks good to me. Damn now I'm hungry. 😂😅❤❤😊

[@user-il2op6sk2f]

Looking good Mr Make it Happen!

[@briannejohnson7456]

Have you tried rice flour ? I love Korean fried chicken & that crunch is unmatched 😉

[@lisahill3406]

Sounds like the corn starch is crispier

[@christeenprice5637]

Lip smacking good,awesome,thanks 👍👍👍

[@deanm4138]

I use 3 cups of flour and 1 cup of corn starch plus the other seasonings for the flour and it hasn’t let me down yet

[@ameiyarose1803]

L👀king G👀d! I will try the corn starch on my wingettes today. TY 👍🏾

[@Yogirrl2300]

Where is the deep fryer from?😍 All looks great!

[@MK-zi7ym]

Thank you!

[@fernsaxton6902]

I love chicken wings.

[@hayden.43167]

Rice flour!

[@chighanaiangoddezz]

I'll have to try with cornstarch. I uzually use all purpose flour and a little bit of baking powder..can you do thiz uzing an air fryer?

[@MegaCrablegs]

Do you recommend using peanut oil vs vegetable oil to deep fry your chicken?

[@bronzefire5404]

Just ate and this made me hungry again 😂

[@TRLYBLSSD]

Hey i have a request. Can you do a recipe with long rice and show me how to cook long grain rice? Because it never turns out like regular rice even in the rice cooker

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

I grew up eating the traditional way. Flour, salt & pepper...no brine. I threw down 😁.

[@tammiegardner6132]

🤣🤣🤣...THANKS for the info GUYS💯ENJOY THE GAME TODAY and GOD BLESS you ALL💞💞💞✌✌✌🙏🙏🙏

[@saturdayschild8535]

Please tell me where you purchased the deep fryer basket and pot used.

[@ComeOut.BeYeSeparate.]

Me too please 😊

[@brendamorrow1644]

Looks delicious much love ❤

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Thank you

[@BigOleKitty]

Next time try a mix blend of corn starch n flour. That taste the best to me

[@egyptschmidt1241]

Can we see you make some shrimp Alfredo crab bread pleaseee❤❤❤

[@gmurray3616]

How about mixing flour with cornstarch?

[@amscott1970]

My favorite mayo too

[@hcadriel1]

Try rice flour. You won't regret it

[@paulneale988]

I have to get used to using cast iron to fry my chicken. I let my grease get to 350, but it seemed the grease was too hot and burning. Any tips community using cast iron. I don't have the grease issues when using a non-stick pan, however

[@krystlefitzgerald2244]

Wings look delicious 🔥😋

[@JT-vg1qn]

Why not use your seasoned flour? I'm using it today

[@kathyvaughn5546]

Wait! With the all purpose wings did I see you go for a flat?😮 OK TEAM FLATS I see you!!😊👍🏽

[@joanargilan9381]

I’ve been making my own ranch over 20 years. I noticed you cut back on the BM for dressing, on the package it says one cup of mayonnaise and one cup of buttermilk. Does that give it a different flavor by adding only 3/4 of a cup of buttermilk instead of one cup

[@MrMakeItHappen]

It’s a little loose and acidic… I prefer it a bit less

[@mikehawk637]

Cheesesteak poutine!

[@switch1237]

Looking good ❤👏💯👍🌟💐

[@arlenehurt8495]

What about corn starch and self rising flour?

[@cliffmurrey3372]

Have you ever tried baking powder?

[@tomsisson660]

Feathers on your chicken wings? Are you harvesting your chicken from your own chickens where you are butchering your own chickens? If that’s a real worry, you need to worry more about where you’re getting your chicken from. I recommend Costco or any reputable grocery store. Tom Sisson

[@ticqtocq721]

Love all your videos but this one made me drop down and thank you for the tip♥️

[@melaniem5971]

I’m wondering about adding pickle juice to the brine. Does it leave a pickle aftertaste or does it work more like mustard does as a baste - you really don’t taste it . 😊

[@FlawlessCFO]

Chic fil a does pickle brine

[@georgemoomaw2244]

Flip them so they cook evenly? I would be more interested on how to cook unevenly in a deep fryer. That must take some delicate maneuvering.

[@theresamarie7101]

Was it buttermilk you added and didn't mention?

[@user-yo7yi9rb1g]

Dang ya ran ova thier quick...lol lol

[@MrMakeItHappen]

Lmaaaao

[@SDDragonfly]

What if you used all three together on the wings?

[@A.Sostan]

What’s the best oil to use. Peanut?

[@DMV_BBQ]

The potato starch looks like batter fried to me.

[@vivianchairez955]

How did I know his friends were brothers 😂😂😂😂

[@elenanava1151]

🤣 he had me at I've had worse ❤

[@gizmo7877]

So why not add corn starch to the flour and get the best of both worlds?

[@AngelaHugginsmakesdolls]

Just one answer do you clean your chicken with at least water?

[@JonO387]

Wings don't need breading at all. They're so much better without.
