Not sure if you do requests, but my daughter and I started watching your youtube channel during lockdown(covid in the UK). Her favorite was the ice cream sandwich from Steven universe. 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. Thanks for everything you do, it's great and we love it!

My kids would also flip for an Octonauts Fish Biscuits recipe. They love both Octonauts and Babish’s channel. 😊
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.

I air fry my wings too. But I usually just season them with smoked paprika, cilantro powder, black pepper, grated garlic, and salt. Its almost impossible to make bad wings on an air fryer lol, but after years of trying, seasoning them with these is a staple for sure.

the gochujang sauce is genius because it's almost like a master sauce in korea. jeyukbokkeum (stir fried pork) and dakkalbi (stir fried chicken) both use a variation of this sauce and it's absolutely delicious!
Babish, i've been watching your videos since you first started out and it's incredible how far you've come. I have used countless numbers of your recipes and hope to continue to do so. congrats on your success, it is well deserved!
You know, I just realized watching this how FAR this channel has come. I started watching your stuff around the time the "Best Sandwich in the World" video came about. Overall you've rekindled a lifelong love of cooking and the craft of it, and I just wanted to let y'all know that. Thanks so much for all of it.
Just got on my break on a long gruelling day at work in a kitchen and this is just what I needed to unwind. Thanks Babish
Tried the Botanist in Jamaica and I’m in love. So smooth, so delicious. Thanks, Babish!
The bitter Irony is, I made 40 wings in the fryer yesterday and this video would’ve saved me making all the mistakes I made 🙃
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.
I grew up with BBQ sauce on wings, but nowadays wings are a way to add a few frequent flyer miles on Heatonist. Pico Rico (the 3 sauce from season 20) and Adobo Loco (7 sauce on season 21) are both awesome.

Super happy for this episode my toddler is a huge fan of wings. Perfect timing for grilling for the 4th
wings single handedly gave me a use for my air fryer, its perfect to double fry, 20 minutes at 200 degrees, chill, then 400 degrees till crisp

I've been using your double fry method since that video came out. I can't see any other method being better. We are actually making those tonight!
Love you videos man!!!! Watching your videos help me get threw my rough part of drinking to much😢 I happy to say I am sober now! Keep killing it.
2:55 oven method is probably the one I'm going to try today. I do have the deep frying parts, but the cleanup seems worse, I'd have to buy more oil, and I want to test the crisping in the oven anyway. However 1:55 has critical prep that should not be ignored. We're goin in. 😎👍
I've done the baking method with dried out wings. If you set your oven at 350 they still crisp up but your oven doesn't smoke.
Word of caution: Don't use wire brushes to clean barbeques. The wires do come out and can wreak havoc in the body. There are plenty of safer alternatives out there.

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.
Happy medium I've found for smaller batches of wings: they're GREAT in the air fryer and take less time than the oven

Air Fried wings are some of the best wings I've ever had. They skin is crispy, the meat is tender and juicy, they're amazing! Kinda surprise to not see them mentioned at all! But I guess most people don't have an air fryer(you totally should btw)
been doing the low to high double bake for years best method by far.
I absolutely love the spiciness of gochujang. It is just the right amount.
This is the episode I've been waiting for since I subscribed.
I’ve been watching a lot of Hot Ones videos this past year and 4th of July is very special for me as a proud American… I think this is gonna be my new fave video 🙌🏽
Smoked then fried works great too
I said it before and I'll say is again. Chicken wings are the best bar food/ game day foods ever to be invested
Babish, thanks for the buffalo sauce recipe. I’m looking for one all summer. Also, the oven cooked wing variant is going to be a lifesaver for those of us who don’t like frying.
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
So what you’re saying in the first half is to just buy an at home deep fryer so to make it safe and that’s the best way to do it.
I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned but i highly recommend air frying almost fool proof and much quicker than an oven or grill i eat wings almost everyday out of it.
My favorite method is Kenji’s double fried even though it’s rather time consuming and doesn’t work with large number of guests. Would certainly try a Korean sauce

Try this: Get Frank's Wing Sauce (not the normal Red Hot), use it as a marinade for a few hours, then grill the wings. The sauce works as a brine then caramelizes. You won't go back to drowning your wings in wet Frank's, I promise.

NOTE: When you're doing the baking method. MAKE SURE to buy aluminum-free baking powder. The aluminum gives a weird bitter taste to the wings. I tried the same recipe one with and one without and the ones that had aluminum were inedible.

A lot of restaurants in Buffalo do their wings very different ways. Sometimes that used to cooking methods in a row in order to get a certain flavor. A common one is smoke then fry.
Actually used your wing trick and it worked really well. I did salt and baking powder and baked at 450 for 45 minutes. Then I tossed my wings and clarified butter and everything bagel seasoning. They were still crispy.
I love air frying my wings now, though it gets just as smoky as oven baking for me.
This recipe looks delicious!
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.
I bake my wings first, then fry them for about 3 minutes at high in the deep fryer for that nice crispy crunch and moist interior.

The Botanist gin is _very_ herbaceous. If you're into making herbaceous cocktails, it's great, but straight up, it's pretty intense.
I love Port Charlotte 10 year and SAC, and the classic laddie is incredible. More whiskey food
Hey there Babish! I love me some wings and will try these some day!
Yes The 4Th July Thanx Babish!!
Tried the Korean sauce, it was amazing
Its funny, I was just thinking the other day that we haven't seen Babish make Buffalo sauce yet. Impeccable timing.
Babish could make golf entertaining. Prove me wrong.

We love your cooking ware so much and own a lot of pieces. When is that gorgeous cutting board coming out?
I've tried the brutalmoose method in the past and it was great, if a bit labor intensive. might give these a go soon!!
@babish - if you put the wings on the rack, & then put the rack on top of a broiling pan, they won’t smoke up the kitchen when cooked in the oven. Figured that out when trying your Lemon Pepper Wet method from Atlanta.
Personal favorite; add a teaspoon or two of yellow curry powder to the salt/baking powder mix when you dry brine.
Perfect
Definitely a big fan of alfredo wings.
You can also fry them. Preferably in lard or tallow.. cause it’s much healthier than hydrogenated oils. Then put them into the oven at basically as high as you can get it for a few minutes to make them crispy. If they’re frozen at the start then boil the them, then fry them, then put them in oven lol
Wow amazing!
Ask someone who worked in kitchens doing large batches you still have to watch the temperature. If you can wait a few between batches that is best. Definitely had to put things back in because they weren’t done before
Gotta love a cooking video that starts with a gin ad...
And a long way with 10m subs. I remember watching you for your cartoon food recreations a couple years back. Stay going
These general overview crashcourses on how to prepare a single entree are invaluable.
I'm going to have to try the Gochujang butter sauce... I'd also like to submit a suggestion to try wings with Xian hot oil. (Mikey Chen has a great recipe for this.) And the oil will allow the wings to stay crispy for a longer period of time.
While this is amazing to know, and I have personally been seasoning/flavoring my own chicken for years, but local grocer has a full service meat department where all spices/sauces are free. AKA plain wings and any of the dozen or so pre-seasoned wings are all the same price... it's nice. I can even pick out my own roast and tell them what spices I want, and they just do it.
Did you happen to call the oven a baking box or am I hearing things? Baking box, the babish children's cooking show. It's babish, cooking, in a box. The kids will love it 😂
I swirl my digi thermo too, nice to know I'm not the only one!
That gochujang sauce looks great
You should make a video of going to The Botanist distillery, and they can show the process of how they make their gin!
I got my tonsils out a week ago and for some reason I have started watching every food related video I see even though I can’t eat
Ah a wings episode. Just in time for the 4th.
Watching gin makes me remorse that I’m on my alcohol purge. Only slightly though.
the face his own ad came on before the video started is crazy to me! that’s crazy work
Banish should make an everything wing with all the sauces he can find like he did with the everything bagel
Great as always. But a lemon pepper 🍋 would’ve been dope
