Binging with Babish: Wasabi Buffalo Wings from The Simpsons

This week, Springfieldian culinary giant Marge Simpson innovates once again with another playful twist on a familiar favorite: wasabi buffalo wings. In a rare cartoon food mash-up that actually sounds pretty awesome, a wasabi hot sauce must be merged with half its weight in butter to qualify for a Buffalo moniker. Will this Eastern twist on a Western New York favorite win any wing-off's?

My playlist of preferred cooking tunes, Bangers with Babish!

IMPORTANT NOTE, courtesy of u/cartermatic on Reddit: It wasn't mentioned in the video but please don't forget the salt, it is essential to keep it safe to eat. I recommend around 2-3% salt by total weight.

Apologies folks, I forgot to mention the salt! If you're going to ferment your salsa, make sure to follow our written recipe on the website once it's up.

This honestly feels like a throwback to the early years of Babish. The music, the puns, everything just had that feel to it. No knock on the new stuff but this, idk, this felt like a call back to those days

I’ve missed this style of video. I love everyone else, but nothing beats babs going solo. There’s like purity to it.

[jside]

I haven’t watched anything babish in a while. This had some classic Binging with Babish vibes. I love it.

As a viewer since the beginning I want to let you know I appreciate the unbelievable work and sacrifice you’ve put into the channel. The volume of content you’ve created is so wild and while I am a fan of the channel, I am a bigger fan of you as a person! I wish you the best and I appreciate YOU!

0:55 when he said that, all I could think of was Jeremy Clarkson

Considering this video is filmed at his house, this kinda feels like Andrew just casually wanted to make some food but realized he still needed to make an episode for Binging with Babish

[Kainham]

I’m actually surprised Babby didn’t get a Wasabi root for this 😨

You’re an outstanding chef and entertainer.

[starwarsenthusiast]

I wonder how the wings would turn out using wasabi root instead of the tubed stuff? Actual wasabi isn't actually spicy, so maybe it would add more of a sweet element to the wings.

The deliciousness drop after that second wing just cannot be faked. Holy moly, Babish! I wanna have some!

Make the breakfast from Friday that Craig's mother cooks.

"I'm making some eggs, bacon, sausage,
pancakes, and some leftover pork chops."

Lets do it!

04:20 "like it or not, you're gonna see some face" Trust me babish, we like. We like it a lot.

[cyborgcuttlefish]

Glad to see him back! I appreciate a creator taking time for themselves. Now that he's back, does anyone else want to see him make the Sluzzlewurst from The Amazing World of Gumball? It's perfectly over-the-top and unbelievably unhealthy--perfect for the channel.

[thebaker]

Andrew please don't forget the salt and anaerobic conditions for fermenting. That looked like straight ground peppers and is more likely to grow mold than ferment.

[ryanshurmon]

Anyone else noticing how healthy Andrew is looking? It always makes me happy to see the creators I've followed for years doing well and taking care of themselves.

[kncshe]

Those look PHENOMENAL! One question, though: were there serrano peppers included on the green pepper sheet tray that I just didn't notice? I'd imagine their flavor profile would complement the wasabi quite well. (I'd also be interested to see how *fresh* serrano peppers included into the mash along with the other roasted peppers might work. Definitely going to be trying this...)

It's not a Babish video until you hear "kosher salt" or "tiny whisk"

[Neoxon]

I was actually thinking of making wings sometime this week, so perfect timing.

I find it interesting how different countries have different cuts of meat, even for the same produce. Here in Brazil I've seen, countless times, the wing and wing-tip served and fried together. I've eaten the skin between the joints as well as the wing-tips countless times
