Okay, we’re going to make some chicken wings today. And what we want to do is we’re going to make regular Buffalo style sauce. Um, seeing that we’re in New York and we’re close to Buffalo. And then we’re going to make some garlic parmesan wings and we are going to make some dipping sauce for the Parmesan garlic wings. So basically what we do is we take the wings, we thaw them out, we put them on a paper towel, and on the other side we just pat them really dry like this. And then this is just something that uh kind of the spices that I decided that were really good on wings. We’re going to do them like this. And then we’re going to use some corn starch. We’re going to put the same seasoning in the cornstarch. So, what we’re going to start out with is some garlic or some just some onion powder. And when you put your seasonings on, do them up high like this. Because if you do them down low, you’re going to get a great big concentrated circle of spices. So, we did up here like this. Just a good amount of onion and garlic. Like that. Put some garlic. little paprika. You can also use a smoked paprika. Just give it a little bit of a different flavor. This is just a You can also do like this. If you’re getting a little bit low, you can do just like that. Okay. Some salt. This is a sea salt, so not quite as strong as your regular iodized salt. Crushed black pepper. [Music] [Music] [Music] Okay. Then what we want to do is we want to flip them over and we’re going to do the same thing to the other side. Okay, we have the chicken wings all seasoned, ready to go. So now what we’re going to do is we’re going to take some corn starch. We’re going to put it in the bowl. I think probably about a cup. A little bit more. Yeah, a little bit. About like that much. And I’m going to put the exact same seasonings in that. Started out with uh here’s some onion powder. You can use a pretty generous amount on your spices in here, garlic powder, paprika. paprika and some salt and pepper. The reason we’re doing this is because I don’t want to deep fry these. I don’t want to do them in the oven. And as you do them in the air fryer, what happens is is from the skin that’s going to create just enough oil so that they’re not soggy. They actually get very crisp, but you don’t get all that extra oil into them. Okay. So, we can take that, just use a use a little spoon. You can use a um you know, any type of thing to stir this, but just get them so that they’re not all in one spot. You may need a little bit more. We’re only going to do about six or eight at a time because that’s what we’re going to put in our air fryer. And we’ll do let’s do the drum. We’ll do six or seven of these like that. One more. You want to do about as much as it’s going to fit in the bottom of the air fryer without um sitting on top of each other. Put a lid on it. Make sure it’s on tight or it’s going to go flying all over the place. And then we’ll put it in our air fryer. Okay. Put it in our air fryer there. Now, one one thing you want to do here, see how that’s nice and coated? You really want to kind of get the excess off there. Put that in there so they’re not touching each other. Kind of stagger them with going in one direction. [Music] Going to cook them in the air fryer at about 400°. Cook them uh about 6 minutes. Then we’re going to flip them over and we’re going to go another 6 minutes. And then we’re going to check the temperature just to make sure that they’re done. But these are pretty close to room temperature, so they should be pretty good. Okay. And we put them in the air fryer. Okay. It’s been about We actually put them in for about 7 minutes. That’s what they look like. You can see we’re getting a little bit of the skin that has um fried there. So, that makes it keeps it nice and juicy. What we’re going to do is we’re just going to take those, turn them over, like that. And that grease will turn over and and take most of that corn starch. and we’ll put it in for another 6 minutes and they should be done. Okay. Now, what we’re going to do for the garlic parmesan wings is we’re going to make like a coating that we’re going to kind of cover the wings and then we will make the Caesar salad dressing that you can dip that in. So, we’re going to start out here with a half a stick of unsalted melted butter. And we’re going to take about two cloves of garlic. And we’re going to take about a/3 to a half a cup of Parmesan cheese. And about a tablespoon of parsley, maybe a little bit more. and about a half a teaspoon of crushed red pepper. This is kind of optional. I just give it a little bit. Not really a kick, but that’s not working really well or half a teaspoon. So, we’ve got our garlic parmesan chicken wings just about done. We’re going to make Caesar salad dressing that you can dip it in. And we’re going to make a little bit extra so that uh we could have a Caesar salad some other time. You can put this in the refrigerator for approximately 5 days. So, what we dig on is we got about a/4 to a half a teaspoon of our Dijon mustard. And we have a tablespoon or two of the washer sister sauce. We’ll just put that in here. And then we have a half a cup of mayonnaise. And we have about a/3 of a cup of our parmesan cheese. Give that a stir. And that’s the dipping sauce. That’s the uh Caesar salad dipping sauce. And you can also put that on some lettuce next week. Okay. Okay. We are continuing our video on making wings and I thought I’d bring a special guest on our video and this is the Wing King. Wing King aka Jeff Creations. So, I have a hot sauce that I make with my with specifically with his wings that he loves that I love. It is very simple to use. It is you. It can be done in three to five minutes and that’s all it takes. It’s very simple. As we stated earlier in the video, we live in New York. specifically Buffalo styled wings, but with a little twist to it. So, what I have is a half a stick of butter and right next to it is Louisiana Franks hot sauce and I have Tabasco. And the twist to this is for people that really love spicy food or really love spicy sauces and want more of a want more of a ling to the sauce itself is ghost pepper sauce. But you really don’t want to add too much otherwise it’s just going to overpower the sauce. And the the main ingredient of them all hickory smoked craft barbecue sauce. So, as you can see, half a stick of butter. Open this up. And now, what you want to do is you want to make sure that you want to coat the half a stick of butter. Usually, it’s a stick of butter, but make sure that you want to coat it enough of the butter. And once that is coated, then that is basically done. And then you want to add the Louisiana Frank’s hot sauce. And if you really want more of a classic, then add more of the Frank’s hot sauce. So you add that all together. And that is the end of that bottle. So now we have a new bottle. Thank god. So then you add more of that if you want the traditional buffalo wing sauce. Now the trick to this is you you want to add some Tabasco sauce and you want to add a tiny bit to it because if you add too much then it becomes more spicier. And what Tabasco sauce is, it’s a it’s a pepper sauce and it’s hotter. And if you know spicy food or spicy sauces, then it’s hotter than a jalapeno. Now the Now the tricky part of this is the ghost pepper sauce. You really don’t want to add too much, just like I said earlier, because it will just overpower the sauce and it will make it way too spicy. So then you just want to dip it. And that’s all you got to add. So then, okay. So now you have everything in your sauce. And then how do you finish that? What I usually do is I put it in the microwave for about 1 minute with a paper towel over it. Or you can put a lid over it, whatever you want to do. I usually do it with a paper towel just so it doesn’t splatter all over and then that melts the margarine. Yep. So then you just take your wings, you shake it all up. Yep. Yep. After it’s after it’s all set and cuz you really want to taste it just to make sure that it’s not too spicy, but it also has a nice robust flavor. Right. And when you make that sauce, we like them like really wet and sloppy. Yes. So you can you can make plenty and just shake them up and I mean it can literally be dripping off and then you dip it in blue cheese dressing. Blue blue cheese dressing. You can do it with ranch dressing. What? Whatever your fancy heart desires, I guess. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So, all of the wings are done. We just got them out of the uh air fryer. And what we’re going to do is just have our king wing wing king uh try all the wings. And the first thing we’re going to do is just try one with no sauce on it. We just have the seasoning on the wings and on the uh little bit of batter we got on there. So if you want to try one of those. Yep. Now these are extremely hot. So he’s going to use a fork. If you bite into that I mean they are extremely hot cuz we cooked them at 400°. All right. So, the first bite, it’s just nothing on it. Just plain, just nothing but the seasoning. What I like to call is the base wing. See, this is the thing right here is that with the seasonings that we used that he used is that it pops. It it doesn’t just it it doesn’t have one flavor. It pops. I mean, especially with the garlic powder and even with the and you have a tiny bit taste of onion powder, too mixed in with the batter and that batter when you add the corn starch to it, it is so moist that you don’t have to worry about drying it out. Am I correct on that? Yeah. You you know what they actually remind me of is uh we like to go to a Thai local Thai restaurant and we always get the chicken wings and French fries as an appetizer and they remind me a lot of those Thai wings and that you have a nice coating on the outside but the inside is like super juicy. So that’s when I started trying different recipes and I came up with this corn starch recipe that just gives a nice little light batter, but it seals in the juices in the air fryer. I think if you did them in the oven, they would be too dry and in the deep fryer, I think they get a little too crispy and possibly a little bit too done. Um, so I tried it in this one using this recipe and it turned out really, really good. So, what we’re going to do now is we’re going to take a few of these and we’re going to put them over onto this plate. Let’s take that one and then the one that you tried. So, we have four of each. And now we’re going to try with the garlic parmesan. And this is how that turned out. We’re just going to kind of try and put a little bit on that. It didn’t didn’t stick very well, but I’m just putting some on there. Here it’s the brush. I think maybe if we put these in the oven a little bit and let that cheese melt on there. I might do that while he tries the other ones. Let’s see if we can get that to stay on there a little bit better. Yeah, let’s try that. I’m going to turn the oven on and then let that uh go on there and see if that’ll melt and give it a better coating. And then this what we do with this, we like our wings sloppy. And this is the Buffalo wing sauce. And what we do with this, and be careful again, this is hot. This was done in the microwave. We just like them really, really sloppy. Yes, we do. So, we’ll take that. If you want to just spin those a little bit, get a good coating on there. Probably pretty hot. Then we have some blue cheese dressing. Now, on this one, we did not make this ourselves. We’re going to do a video on making homemade uh blue cheese dressing, but we like to use Ken’s steakhouse blue cheese dressing. It is really, really good. So, do you want to use a piece of that and just dump it or dunk it into that? All right. So, what I’m going to do is I have two tests that I’m going to do is I’m just going to start I’m just going to try it with chest hot sauce and then then the ultimate test, what I love to do is blue cheese. I’m different from most people because I douse it. So then again, we warm these up. So then because it’s extremely hot, so you really do have to be careful since it was microwaved and since it was in the air fryer for probably 12 minutes. Yeah. The sauce was microwaved. Yeah. Now, how spicy is that with the ghost? That little bit of ghost pepper sauce. Did it add a lot of spice? Me? No, it added a very tiny bit of a bite. Add added the tiny bit of a bite. So, that’s more of a seasoned taste. If you like it hotter, just add more. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. And you can always add that, you know, add as much as you did to begin with. Yeah. And then you can add more if you like it spicy, but it’s better to start with less because you can’t take it out when once you put it in there, right? So you can, you know, add a little bit more. Mhm. And again, this was originally made in Buffalo, New York. And what a lot of people like to do is especially cuz for one, wings is a bar snack. you know, you get with some guys or your friends or anything like that and go out to a bar, you order a dozen wings and have a couple beers, you know. Now, blue cheese and hot sauce is so good. It is so good cuz you add both the hot sauce and you add both the blue cheese and it creates more of a flavor. creates a unique flavor that is separate from the other hundreds of hot sauces out there in the world. Now, you can also use ranch dressing. Correct. You could also use ranch dressing. Yes. Because there are a lot of people that do not like blue cheese and because of the fact that it’s actually I’m not trying to gross anybody out, but it’s the fact that it’s um almost like it’s it’s pretty pungent. It can be really strong. Yeah. Yeah. That’s the right word. Okay, we found the secret on how to finish off the Parmesan garlic wings. What I decided to do was instead of putting in the oven, I put it under the broiler to see if I could get that uh parmesan just to melt just a little bit. And you can really smell the parm. Be a little bit careful under the broiler because you don’t want to burn it. But here’s how that came out. and he’s going to dip it into his Caesar salad dressing. Correct. That is correct. Yes. So, I’ve never had garlic parmesan wings, so I really don’t know what it’s supposed to taste like, but um because I’m more into like spicier wings and more and the classic um Come on. There we go. Now, I’m more into the spicier wings anyway, etc. So, first test, it’s just plain by itself. Oh my god, that is that is really good. That is really good. I love the taste of the garlic and I love the taste of Parmesan. Now, Oh my god, that is so good. This is actually This is actually generally good because for one, it the flavors it pops because you have both the garlic and the parmesan and it goes so well together. Now, what I’m going to do next, excuse excuse me, my mouth and food in my mouth. But now, what I’m going to do next is I’m going to take this bite right here is then I’m going to take that, dip it in the homemade Caesar dressing. Just a tiny bit. About that much. That is good. That is really good. And let me tell you something. Not only that, but I also have a bit of the red crushed pepper. And that is what really brings the flavor out is the pepper. Feels good, huh? It is really good. Yeah. Okay. So, what we did today, we made uh chicken wings with just the cornstarch and lots of seasoning. We did the regular buffalo wing with blue cheese dressing, and we did the garlic parmesan with a Caesar salad dressing. So, that’s the end of our video today. I’d like to thank you for stopping into Kevin’s Kitchen Corner, where we don’t cook, we create.

  1. I learned something from both of you — corn starch instead of flour, and I will try some ghost pepper in my sauce!
