Thank you for the easy version😅 Clara is now 4 years old and desperate for some fish biscuits from octonuats. She asked if Babish makes them.😁 I told her I would ask.

    I like the steamed then baked method. A gentle steam gets them cooked especially the skin. Then cooled till needed later (or second step immediatly). Then they can be blasted in a very hot oven (or fried) to crisp the skin. No need for baking soda or salting or overnight drying.

    I air fry wings. As for seasoning: if I'm just putting dry seasoning on, I just toss them in a steel bowl, if I'm putting BBQ sauce on I grab my wok, put it on high, and toss the wings and sauce in at the same time and toss them around till they're evenly coated and the sauce has caramelized.

    Absolutely amazing. If anyone wants to take it to the next level, follow his oven recipe. After you take them out of the oven at 250, throw them on a HOT charcoal grill with offset heat, throw a chunk of wood over the coals and they will be perfectly crispy, tender, and smoky. I've never had better wings.

    If you keep the melted butter and sauce separated, you can roll the wings in the hot butter, then in the cooler sauce. Even a water-thin hot sauce will adhere to the wing every single time. I always tell people this method because I never see anyone talk about it on recipes.

    The best way to Grilling wings is toss dried wings in 1/2 of your favorite seasoning 1/2 corn starch, tiny whisked to combine, set aside for minimum 30 minutes, then grill, the seasoning/cornstarch creates this amazingly crunchy outside that can soak up sauce the with out falling apart

    DO NOT DEEP FRY IN A SHALLOW, OVERFILLED PAN OVER AN OPEN FLAME like you see Babish doing. It's a wonder he hasn't been seriously burned or worse with a set-up like that. Make sure the level of the oil is at least 2-3 inches or more below the rim of the pan. Or better yet, get a dedicated deep-fryer unit with built-in safety features, like thermostats, electric heating, and an insulated-handle fryer basket. At least he isn't deep-frying with the handle sticking out from the stove... this time. Babish here says deep frying at home is 'scary.' But it doesn't have to be, if you do it right.
