CRUNCHY AIR FRIED CHICKEN WINGS on the POWER XL AIR FRYER | BUT ARE THEY ANY GOOD? 

Big Shticks - l totally agree. I’ve read similar articles and I never wash any type of meat.

Andy B Working in a hospital we are consistently getting new protocols and standards from the CDC. When CDC says NOT to wash your chicken due to elevated risk of salmonella cross contamination exposure...I listen. Thanks for stopping by & commenting

Big Shticks dont wash the chicken Cause cdc told you not to... U gotta be a certified genius. I've worked in multiple chicken plants. They ship that chicken after its been on the floor and they barely wash before they throw it with the rest.. I was actually the guy that did the picking up off the floor and washing. They specifically direct you to wash it off quick as possible... so Yea go ahead and enjoy the dirt /animal feces/ oil from mechanical machines/ or sanitizer from the cleanup crew/ might add a little flavor to your wings since your seasoning is lacking so much...

realrece 1. That sounds like a shitty place work. 2. Sounds like you should have reported that to the FDA or the county inspectors if you had a conscience & actually cared about what was being put out as food to people. 3. That same mentality happens in restaurants too! I witnessed it first hand & reported it. Told the manager, they blew me off. I quit & reported them to the county health inspector. They promptly shut them down. Just because bad behavior exists doesn’t mean it’s the rule. But it’s people like you who allow it to persist by failing to do the responsible thing & then ridicule people whom should have faith that shit like that isn’t entering our food chain. You do understand that is how all these novel flu viruses start that kill people right! Sleep well

Tyson chicken is worldwide

Thank you! I’m not out to mislead anyone as to the results achieved.

Eskil Tester Yes, adding the oil to the fries before makes a huge difference in texture

@Srt _ Same

Doesnt it say in the manual that no oil or liquid should be added??my gf got one the other day an looking to see what's up with it..so far so good:)

@@michaelmackinnon2378 depends what brand but usually when buying frozen fries those have already been pre-fried and contain oil. Fresh fries require some oil.

What about just using cookie spray (Pam)?

Thanks for this, I Just might use without the flour

Good to know re antibiotics, dyes & vinegar/lemon juice.

William Gates That’s awesome! Your further along than I cooking steaks straight from frozen. But I’ll get there! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you for coming back & telling us what you thought of them. It is very much appreciated!

Imluvinmycurls Thank you for leaving a review! I really appreciate it. I also have several other videos of different flavored air fried wings as well if your interested. Thanks for stopping by & commenting too!

Lila Salem No, THANK YOU!

SuperBlessed29 Awww! Thank you

Thanks!

YOU KNOW!!!! And I'm Soaking it in lime and water as well...✌🏾

@@alboogie74al what's the lime for? I've never heard of that method.

@@susub88 Helps kill food poisoning causing bacteria... A Old lady from San Lucia Taught me about that.. If you ever have food poisoning Drink lime juice it will cure it.. Lime juice is the key ingredient that cooks fish or shrimps for ceviche... That's why people dosen't get sick from eating it ✌🏾P.S soak chicken for 15 minutes or until you get ready to cook it. ENJOY 😊

@@susub88 EAT FRYED SPAM FOR BAD HANGOVERS AS WELL.. TRUST ME IT WORK'S!!! I FRY IT UNTIL ITS KINDA BURNT THEN EAT IT ✌🏾

Stressed2Capacity Dang! You waited a really long time to break that puppy out. When I get a new kitchen toy I can’t wait. It’s like waiting to open Christmas gifts! Thanks for taking the time to comment & I appreciate the compliment!

Thanks to both of you stopping bye & dropping a comment! I hope she loves the gift & enjoys the wings!

Ed Narejko Thanks for stopping by. Best of luck with your new air fryer. I hope you experience much success with your recipes

Buffalo cauliflower wings are the best!!!!

They are indeed one of the most popular gift ideas. I’m sure once you get down the little nuances of your particular gadget you’re gonna love it. Happy cooking

Enjoy! It will end up being a gateway for future cooks…trust me! I can’t stop using mine almost daily

Trina K I’m glad you enjoyed!

It’s changed the way I do business in the kitchen. I practically use it everyday now.

I just brought the 7 quart on sale today. Can't wait to use.

@@ronniewalton It’s an awesome little gadget!

I can’t say enough about air fryers in general! My power xl is still going strong with use varying from 2-5 times a week.

Rick Smith Yup, just tried those last week & they couldn’t have came out any better. I hope you enjoy the chicken. Thanks for watching & commenting!

Yup, I sometimes toss them in a bit of spray oil now to get that crispy exterior on the fries. However, I try to use a spray oil that doesn’t contain propellants like butane. Something about spraying lighter fluid on my food doesn’t sit well. The sad thing is, most big name spray oils do use it. The ones that don’t are a bit pricey.

Debbie Brown Thanks, I appreciate the compliment! Nine Line & Grunt Gear are my faves.

Anthony Adame Appreciate that bro!

Thank you! I’m sure once you get some time in with yours you’ll be using it to make just about everything! Thanks for stopping by & contributing!

@@BigShticks Yes! I'm so ready! Thank you for the great video!

Abby Ramirez Thanks, glad I could help!

I'd Be weary of buying that brand of air fryer. I saw on amazon reviews that some people said it crapped out after 10 or 12 times of use and it only comes with a 2 month warranty.

spocksbeard76 While id agree with your sentiment. Everyone’s experience with any particular air fryer will be different. Numerous factors will come into play. Ones experience in the kitchen, frequency of use, duration of use & how often it’s cleaned/maintained are a few that come to mind. I’m not an endorser of any one particular brand. But in doing my due diligence of the hundred or so air fryers out there, many of them had what I would chalk up to being user error. Like using items such as non abrasive sponges as opposed to heavy duty scouring pads to clean the non stick coating which prevents it from coming off or cleaning the unit internally after every use to prevent excess smoking & premature heating element burnout. I also believe as a consumer not all products are created equal & that the most expensive product doesn’t always equate to better, simply relying on Amazon reviews doesn’t necessarily give the whole story to any product. In fact, I believe Amazon reviews to be tainted & riddled with reviews that are bought and paid for both positive & negative in addition to having reviews that don’t even have anything to do with actual products performance itself (like being upset it was delivered broken or late) which effects the products overall rating despite not actually being about the item. This IMO makes them a less than reliable source of info

Appreciate the feedback!

Exactly that's what i do

FIL-AM Couple Cathy's Vlogs Hey thanks for stopping by & commenting! I love my air fryer, I use it almost every day now. I love the convenience & speed it cooks. I’m mestizo (Fil-Am) so your channel name resonates w/ me 😂

Your welcome. and thanks for you reply. Yeah coz I'm not sure how to use my air fryer even though there is maual so I look upnon youtube that's how i saw your video. So you half filipino? Wow so your my kababayan..hehe..keep safe and God bless

FIL-AM Couple Cathy's Vlogs I am! Half Filipino & half white. Fully blessed!

Big Shticks wow your really bless. Me merried with white guy that's why i make my channel name FIL-AM Couple. Guess i need to watch some of your video so i will have idea of how to cooke other food in my air fryer. Thank you again

Juan Derek Yes, I have recently put this into practice & can attest that it works like a charm. Thanks for stopping by & commenting!

Sounds like an awesome start to a new beginning with a new appliance. It’s truly a cool tool. Never thought I’d use mine as frequently as I do. I love it!

Thanks! I appreciate the support

Thank you very much!

LeDonnis Thank you! I hope you like it!

Sir C I frequently go flour/cornstarch/batter free, pat dried & simply seasoned. That way no matter what I might be feeling in the moment I can go buffalo, lemon pepper, teriyaki or bbq. As for washing chicken...CDC says to avoid it. As a nurse, i can only imagine if health care organizations said screw what the CDC says “ we gonna do our own thing “ how well that would go for patients. www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/chicken.html

Hey I enjoyed your video, it was very interesting I really appreciate it and when I make fries I use just a bit of olive oil and occasionally check to see texture excellent sir keep up the great work.

Big Shticks the cdc? You trust that. The meat is processed and comes from god knows where and because the cdc says it’s causing salmonella or whatnot washing it imagine consuming it. The heat from cooking killed all the bacteria? You put the meat in lemon salt vinegar in a basin not straight in the sink not just splashing water. Not being careful causes cross contamination not washing it.

Well I definitely hope all of your airfryer cooking experiments cook out fantastic. Thanks for stopping by & commenting. But more importantly...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Same to you my friend! I’m going to go out on a limb & day you won’t regret the purchase.

Oh yeah! I’m still loving wings from the air fryer every time! Thanks for stopping by!

SuperBlessed29 Yeah, I’ve begun tossing fries in olive oil to give them a texture that is less dry. Appreciate the suggestions. I gotta look into the salt free stuff, I’ve tried Ms. Dash & it’s ok. I guess like anything it’s easy to form biases & difficult to change behaviors. The more I do in the air fryer the more I’m starting to like it

I like using spray oil for getting an even coat with the least amount of oil added. And now they ALL kinds of oil in a spray can. Coconut, olive, even Duck Fat!

DJ I do indeed love the fact that there are many different oils available now & in spray bottles no less. My issue with many of them is that they utilize butane as a propellant. Which is flammable and tends to make a sticky & rough surface on Teflon which most air fryers have. There are some sprays that don’t have propellant but their cost far exceeds their value. But, in liking your suggestion I may end up purchasing an oil mister or two.

@@BigShticks There some new one like this www.amazon.com/Pompeian-Organic-Extra-Virgin-Cooking/dp/B06XZWLQM6?psc=1&SubscriptionId=AKIAILSHYYTFIVPWUY6Q&tag=duckduckgo-brave-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=B06XZWLQM6 They use a system that has a pouch inside the can and the can is pressured so when you push the "trigger" the pressure inside the can squeezes the pouch spraying the oil out. The propellant never interacts with the oil and actually never leaves the can.

Jbutterfly15 Thanks for giving it a try! I hope you found them enjoyable.

Big Shticks yes I did, I love wings so this was great. YW! I see few more of your air fryer recipes that I’m going to be trying out.

Jbutterfly15 Awesome

Most don’t. But honestly, people will do whatever suites them best.

Thank you so much!

AceOspades I definitely agree that it can wholly replace deep frying! Appreciate you stopping by & dropping a comment.

Thank you!

Sally Kasper I haven’t worked up the nerve to throw a whole chicken in this thing...yet! But it’s on my list of things to do for sure.

Yeah buddy! Thanks for watching!

When a man shakes his head and go ummph! He Done struck gold! Just got one for $79 at BJ's same situation doc said cut the fried lot of fried food messes with the prostate. I ain't got time for nothing messing with my Jimmy Wang yang! Thank you for your video much appreciated I'm going to set my wife and her perfect seasoning self on this! I can cook some good chicken myself but I love her seasoning! It's time to get it together happy holidays and happy New Year take care.

It will change your mind about deep fried. It’s not exactly like fried, but it’s good enough to move on from it. Enjoy!

@@BigShticks Thank You!

Good idea, I still give them a spritz of oil though. Otherwise they come out kind of dry.

@@BigShticks yeah I do too. They come out so good. Those little pizzas from dollar tree taste great in there too.

i’ve reread this shit seven times and i kinda comprehend? but i don’t?

The more I do, the more useful I find it.

Doug Hilton Awesome it’s one of my favorite shirts! Feel free to stop back & let me know what you thought.

I couldn’t imagine using a 3qt. That’s like 60% smaller than mine. But I guess it would really depend on the surface size of the basket. If it’s able to fit 10-12 wings without them being on top of each other I’d be fine it think. Although I did cut a whole 5.5lb chicken spatchcocked & it fit in mine. Turned out wonderful! Juicy with Crispy skin & all.

I love mine. I’m sure you will to!

Tea Ben Thank you! Likewise

Oh my gosh! You really should give other things a try. Start small. Like adding sausage & bacon then gradually work your way up to more complex stuff. Air frying has definitely been a worthwhile learning experience. The most important thing for me to learn was cook times & temperature. Because they vary severely from a traditional oven. They are more in line with a commercial convection oven. Thanks for stopping by & supporting the channel. Hope to see you back.

It’s basically a powerful mini convection oven.

Marc Witt I haven’t made chicken thighs yet but I am planning to soon. 18 mins at 400 huh?! That’s pretty quick. Might have to give that a try today. Thanks for stopping by Marc!

Abena T The possibilities are limitless! Thanks for chiming in.

Donovan Trevaskis Jr Appreciate it!

That is a good tip!

I’m sure they won’t disappoint! Thanks for checking out the video

Tracy P Much like you, the more I use it the more I like it & I’m really starting to like it.

One year since posting, I’m still making those wings once a week 😂

Linda Simms Me & the kids love love those nuggets!

Thank you!

Edwin Stewart Mine is certainly growing on me! Thanks for stopping by & commenting!

@@BigShticks You're welcome bro. ✌️

lisa devoe Your welcome! I don’t wash it because it’s a learned practice both in Culinary school & professional kitchens. The risks of doing so far outweigh a perceived benefit.

Big Shticks thank you, you learn smthng new everyday

Exactly, that's nasty cook with out washing ur chicken. You dont no what kind of contamination that factory had packaging the chicken

@@003children girl don't fall for that

Quietstorm7 I was taught to rinse mine but to each his/her own

Appreciate it! Thank you.

😂 get it!

Kathy Duncan I do now! Thanks for stopping by & taking the time to leave a comment.

Thank you so much!

Thank you for checking it out!

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to comment.

dennis stephenson Thank you!

Thank you for the compliment! I’m sure the air fryer will change the way you approach cooking all your meals.

@@BigShticks Absolutely Brother 👊

I was shocked at the results!

Your mom does too

Thanks! You must be talking about the Suga Free 😂

@@BigShticks yes sir Pimpin!

Yes sirrrrr!

It has become one of the most useful purchases I’ve even made for the kitchen. I use it just about every day & I do not regret this purchase. Enjoy!

I wish I could make more sense of your comment for better understanding of what you’re getting at. To the best of my recollection of this particular video. I do believe I covered step by step how I made the wings. From prep, battering, quantity, air frying, time & temp. I don’t believe I left anything out. If you felt as though you didn’t get what you need, let me know & I’ll be happy to help.

The chicken bites are really good. Me & Sam’s have a love/hate relationship. Love going & shopping. Hate how much I ALWAYS spend 😂

I had no idea they make a 2 qt! That’s perfect for single servings

Enjoy!

I’m not sure what it is but for some reason I’m not a fan of old bay on chicken. Perhaps it’s because it’s the flavoring agent of choice for my Dungeness crabs & when I don’t get that ocean brine flavor with it, it’s feels like a huge let down. Thanks for stopping by & dropping a suggestion & comment. Much appreciated!

June Asing Thanks! I was assuming that at some point that’s what it would come to. However, olive oil has a really low smoke point. How does that affect the overall appearance & taste when the air fryer temp is hotter than it can handle?

Sorry I actually meant I use avocado oil spray it came out pretty good 👍

June Asing I’ll look into that stuff. Always seems a bit pricey, even at Costco.

K P I’ll look into it, but that doesn’t sound like a national chain in my location. Maybe more of a local/regional place. I appreciate the suggestion as well as you stopping by the channel.

Thanks! They are.

Dan Tjarks Thank you. I appreciate your support!

Richard Trang Definitely one the faves! It feels weird getting fried chicken in a gas station but damned it ain’t bomb ass chicken. We got 2 stand alone stores in Vallejo now & 1 in Fairfield it’s all good! Thanks for stopping by!
