Extra Crispy Baked Wings | Kenji's Cooking Show

The only difference is that here I add a teaspoon of corn starch per pound of chicken wings in addition to the salt and the baking powder.

When you rub the skin with baking powder, you end up forming these teeny tiny bubbles on the surface of the skin, that give it extra surface area and crunch. The result is chicken wings that are as crisp as deep-fried, but without the hassle of a deep fryer. This is another one of those techniques that has gone on to become extremely popular, because it works. Try it!

The fact that someone thought your iphone gopro app was you watching the recipe is incredible haha.

Kenji,
The food portion of your videos is always fun, and I always learn something. But more than anything, the structure of your videos allows us to feel to like we're just hanging out with you (which is awesome, btw). When your new videos pop up, it really is a bright spot of my day. Thanks for cooking and hanging out. Grateful for all that you share.

Hello Kenji, I was never into cooking but after watching your videos I’ve been inspired to cook for the first time. I surprised my family with a meal and everybody was shocked I didn’t order. Thank you!

20:30 This is why I love doing wings with a dry rub and using clarified butter to get it to stick, the clarified butter is pure fat so absolutely no crispiness is lost. Absolutely incredible!

Home chef here. Recently discovered your content. I can’t stop watching. Amazing descriptions and most of all you give a WHY to the methods. It is an unbelievable breath of cooking fresh air. Thank you for doing all this Kenji.

The way Kenji moves around his kitchen cooking is just so fluid. It’s so darn satisfying.

Hey Kenji, can you do a video of kitchen supplies "maintenance?"
So like a video on how you sharpen your knifes/how often, and how you seal/treat your wooden cutting boards and how often? Things like that. You don't really see popular chefs/cooks on youtube talking about how to do it.

[ns-uoit]

These videos including the tidbits of cooking science are invaluable - thank you so much for teaching me to be a better, more thoughtful cook, Kenji!

Kenji, this vid is awesome. I love how comfortable you are in the kitchen. I pretend I'm you when I'm preparing a meal and I feel empowered. You're an inspiration. Thank you.

Kenji's Kitchen and the setup is worth the watch if for no other reason
Those Spice cupboard's are to die for.

After all Kenji is the king of his oven-fried chicken wings.

[maxacorn]

since you mentioned chef

"you are the lord of the rings of your crispy oven wings."

[jarrodhumphrey]

I just had these wings. This was the first oven baked wing recipe I’ve ever had that actually delivered crispy wings. Kudos to Kenji.

[Nice-music]

This is not a recipe, this is a masterclass. RESPECT

[justin.booth.]

This technique also makes for amazing Chinese-American stir fried chicken, it's incredibly crispy and holds up well under whatever sauce you throw at it!

[AForEh]

Hey Kenji, it was weird you talked about Oven-Fried Chicken Wings on an episode about Star Wars.

[Stephanie-hvvn]

I'm from Buffalo and these are my favorite! Yes, It is imperative that you make them crispy before putting in the sauce, so many people don't do this. I use Franks Redhot. I like blue cheese dressing and I do it with yogurt or sour cream and mayo like you, and add lemon, salt and blue cheese crumbles.

[WampaLord]

Great tips, Kenji! Just made these today and the skin was SO CRISPY I could not believe it. They taste like they were deep fried! I cook mine in an air fryer instead of the oven but the baking powder and corn starch rest in the fridge made all the difference.

[cherrypie]

Kenji, I love how you keep it real. Your home is lived in and keeps me from becoming intimidated from trying these recipes because I don't have a restaurant kitchen. I'm a huge fan!
