The restaurant I used to work at poached the raw wings in chicken stock seasoned with salt, whole garlic cloves, and lots of whole peppercorns until barely cooked through, then Put ‘em in the fridge. Then when someone ordered you’d throw em in the deep fryer just to crisp the skin and reheat the wings and toss in the sauce right before serving. For my tastes, this is a great method because you get a really crispy skin but the inside meat is very tender and seasoned all the way through.

I make it every other week and keep it in fridge for quick and delicious taco/tostada/rice bowl meals

Thank you Shaq for circling back to the value meals!! We really need it!

Honestly, the 'quick basic's are a space of cooking content sorely needed for me, especially in such a condensed and easy to absorb format. I wasnt raised with cooking basics taught to me from a parental figure, so have had to go from scratch in learning how to make my meals, and a lot of youtubers bring overcomplication to that process. Quick techniques like this that allow a weekly meal that's delicious, affordable and with minimal prep are SO helpful. This is definitely something I'm actually going to do, unlike most food content I consume.

Best food video. Ever? Yes.

In my city there's a farmers market 3 days a week where the local chicken farmer sells wings, and thighs for ~4.5€ / Kilo ( ~2.22$ / lb) which is way cheaper then the big chain grocery stores (like a 1-1.5$ difference). Its been a godsent to me since prices of chicken breasts and other white meats have rocketed. This recipe in other words sounds perfect, the idea of having wings ready to go sounds like a potential staple for my freezer.

Sir this is Alex. I literally have a whole bag of chicken wings waiting for me right now in the fridge. Perfect timing.

This is an absolutely genius way to pre-prep wings!! I have been cooking wings for years and they are my favourite food-- never have I considered pre-cooking and freezing!! what a darn concept!

Was probably the most efficient way to make wings, love you bro. Don't know what we'd do without you shaq

That is some real shit you just said

2:46 I worked as a prep cook and regularly prepared wings. Made probably 20 pounds or more a day. Seasoned them threw them on trays into the oven and afterwards I threw them in the cooler. When cooled I portioned them out for the fryer

As always, another well paced, informative video, with just enough info and “why?” to remind me of Alton Brown. A very large majority of what I’ve cooked recently came from you, and always gets rave reviews

I'm moving off-campus next year, and this sounds like an amazing meal-prepping strategy. Great video as always!

I very much appreciate the simple cheaper 'normal' cooking. Very nice watching things I might actually do, or maybe just get a useful tip/idea from for my life.

You're so gifted at speaking and stringing words together. Your videos are mezmerizing.

That double sheet pan thing looks dope. I’ve often saved baked chicken wings to do when I need to clean my oven anyway, I can’t wait to see if this technique will reduce the splatter in my oven!

cooking in large batches is generally all I do these days, mostly cause cooking and cleanup sucks when it's for at most 2 people, that being said this looks cool, definitely gonna try it

This practice has unironically changed my life. I always craved wings but they were either too expensive at a restaurant or too much work for the payoff at home. These are now my go to dinner for low effort nights after long days.

I make the crock pot chicken tinga at least twice a month and it's now a staple in my diet so sure I'll give this a try

You normally see sales for stuff the week after some big event. You can get frozen turkeys half-off the week after Thanksgiving. And you'll often find whole chicken wings for sale after the Super Bowl. One of the best cooking purchases I've ever made was a chest freezer for this exact reason.

Shaq, to the contrary. Having these simple staple cooking tips allows me to have a strong foundation on which I build my own personal interests. I just wanted to say that the trustworthiness of your brand is ironclad, and thank you for inspiring me to keep cooking intelligently.

love these kind of videos, especially as a low income earner. Learning how to use new, cheap meats is a life saver lol Part of me wonders if this sort of technique would work for other types of chicken, especially drumsticks since it's so cheap where I am Either way, absolutely love these videos and just how quickly, professionally, and understandably it's presented. Can't wait until the next time!

Family

I've got 2 racks of ribs in my freezer for the same reasons 👍 might do a similar prep for those.

5. Sous vide for 1 hour at 165° F. Season them in the bag for less cleanup.

Will you do a video where you show us how to make stock using various scraps?

I got some wings like this from the freezer section at costco, they were great but cost too much. I love the idea of DIYing that same product

hi mr natshaq i would be delighted to know your opinion on microwave ovens that dont have the spinny plate thing on the bottom i am a big fan of them because popcorn getting stuck in one position when it opens isnt a bad thing in them and you dont have to spread out your foods in a ring. if you have any experience with them i would be delighted to know

From Buffalo, I really enjoy the cooking prowess that chefs use to cook wings. Wings are a garbage food. Buy them when they're affordable, deep fry and make your own blue cheese dressing from scratch (1 part mayo, 1 part sour cream, lemon juice, salt, parsley if you have it and crumbled blue cheese.) If you want to save for a later date, freeze, thaw, pat dry and deep fry.

My pups also love the wing tips I cut off when trimming. Great little snack for them and I save a buck. 👍

Truly goated that you mentioned the baking soda/dry brine method. Proves that you know your stuff and might actually convince me to try the microwave method 😂

I’m doing this next time wings are on sale. My girlfriend and I love having frozen nuggets in the freezer to heat up in the air fryer, it’ll be way better with wings we made ourselves!

How long do cooked wings last frozen?
