Extra Crispy Baked Wings | Kenji's Cooking Show 

The fact that someone thought your iphone gopro app was you watching the recipe is incredible haha.

Hello Kenji, I was never into cooking but after watching your videos I’ve been inspired to cook for the first time. I surprised my family with a meal and everybody was shocked I didn’t order. Thank you!

Home chef here. Recently discovered your content. I can’t stop watching. Amazing descriptions and most of all you give a WHY to the methods. It is an unbelievable breath of cooking fresh air. Thank you for doing all this Kenji.

These videos including the tidbits of cooking science are invaluable - thank you so much for teaching me to be a better, more thoughtful cook, Kenji!

After all Kenji is the king of his oven-fried chicken wings.

i made these wings at my little cousins birthday party and everyone loved them! literally best wings everyone had tasted. it felt really warming for everyone to love the things you make - so for that, thank you Kenji.

Kenji, this vid is awesome. I love how comfortable you are in the kitchen. I pretend I'm you when I'm preparing a meal and I feel empowered. You're an inspiration. Thank you.

I just had these wings. This was the first oven baked wing recipe I’ve ever had that actually delivered crispy wings. Kudos to Kenji.

since you mentioned chef john............. "you are the lord of the rings of your crispy oven wings."

Kenji, The food portion of your videos is always fun, and I always learn something. But more than anything, the structure of your videos allows us to feel to like we're just hanging out with you (which is awesome, btw). When your new videos pop up, it really is a bright spot of my day. Thanks for cooking and hanging out. Grateful for all that you share.

20:30 This is why I love doing wings with a dry rub and using clarified butter to get it to stick, the clarified butter is pure fat so absolutely no crispiness is lost. Absolutely incredible!

This is not a recipe, this is a masterclass. RESPECT

The way Kenji moves around his kitchen cooking is just so fluid. It’s so darn satisfying.

shouts out to the king Chef John!

I just want to say that I've come back to this SO. MANY. TIMES. Kenji, you're the best.

i just realized you had a YT channel i bought your book years ago and since then ive been so in love with cooking thanks to the way you explain everything , the reasoning, the science behind it. thanks for being great!

incredibly dank chef john shoutout

So this is the all powerful chef that Babish gets inspiration from

Love following you Kenji. I particularly enjoy the food science tid bits you add during your cooks. Thanks alot man, I learn much from you!

Kenji you changed the game with this technique! Just made lemon pepper wings and Buffalo garlic and I felt it tasted like Wing Stop, if not better! Used an air fryer and the crisp was unbelievable. I shared this video with several friends ! Thank you.

Kenji's Kitchen and the setup is worth the watch if for no other reason Those Spice cupboard's are to die for.

Hey Kenji, can you do a video of kitchen supplies "maintenance?" So like a video on how you sharpen your knifes/how often, and how you seal/treat your wooden cutting boards and how often? Things like that. You don't really see popular chefs/cooks on youtube talking about how to do it.

Sir, I rewatch this video every time I make these wings. They're my families favorite. I hope you know how positive an impact you've had on the lives of home cooks and the people that eat their food ❤

Great tips, Kenji! Just made these today and the skin was SO CRISPY I could not believe it. They taste like they were deep fried! I cook mine in an air fryer instead of the oven but the baking powder and corn starch rest in the fridge made all the difference.

This technique also makes for amazing Chinese-American stir fried chicken, it's incredibly crispy and holds up well under whatever sauce you throw at it!

Kenji kenji kenji... 2 chef john shoutouts, and you forget the gold standard for crispyness testing he preaches almost every week?? #ForkDontLie

Who knows if you read these comments, but thank you chef! Thank you so much for thinking deeply about how to make the best convection oven cooked wings of all time. The 1:1:1:1 ratio of kosher salt/baking powder/corn starch/pound of wings* was an incredible find for me. I watch other cooking shows and RU-vid* suggested your recipe for these wings. I make wings every other week during NFL football season and this is hands down the best recipe I have ever used. This recipe went into the family recipe book, because it is simple, honest, and effective! Thank you again chef! I am merely a home cooker stealing from all of you fine, hard working, true chefs. For those reading this shit, I did precisely as chef suggested and cooled water chilled wings, which I patted down in clothes until they were dry on the outer later, for 6.5hrs in my refrigerator, used this recipe and they were done just like this chef told us. Just hand dry your wings folks in cloth and move forward with this recipe!!! Don't spend the money, even if you can. Edited*

This has been my go-to wing method ever since I saw this. I generally let them sit in the fridge overnight. They come out absolutely amazing, thank you Kenjji!

Hey Kenji, it was weird you talked about Oven-Fried Chicken Wings on an episode about Star Wars.

Having your own quote on a mat in your kitchen is the ultimate boss move

I'm from Buffalo and these are my favorite! Yes, It is imperative that you make them crispy before putting in the sauce, so many people don't do this. I use Franks Redhot. I like blue cheese dressing and I do it with yogurt or sour cream and mayo like you, and add lemon, salt and blue cheese crumbles.

I watched this avoiding my schoolwork and I dont regret it one bit.

“I’m a flats guy” *proceeds to eat two drumettes*

Kenji, I love how you keep it real. Your home is lived in and keeps me from becoming intimidated from trying these recipes because I don't have a restaurant kitchen. I'm a huge fan!

So glad I watched this video. The Serious Eats recipe was far and away the best oven wings recipe I’ve ever tried. I’ve made the wings so many times that I know it by heart. I figured this video was just a rehash of that recipe. However, the addition of corn starch and the encouragement to use convection made the original recipe so so much better.

My family loved this recipe. Thank you for sharing. I love your data driven approach.

I've been adding cornstarch to the recipe from Serious Eats for awhile now & it really does help make a crisper wing. This method is so good my family doesn't even like to go out for wings anymore. Mine are crisper and the sauce is just as good. Thank you for developing this recipe all those years ago. It's a game changer for sure!

I love how you never have a bland recipe. I also love the food science, chemistry and physics you throw into the mix. Good stuff man. Also, your home looks lived in and I love it.

I don't think I I've ever enjoyed a cooking video as much as this one. First time seeing one of your videos and I love the POV at home and how much information you're providing. Super entertaining and educational. Subscriebed

This was so helpful!! I love how you used a view like that for the video it made me keep track of all the steps easier!!!

Kenji, I have to say, as a wings lover myself you absolutely NAILED this recipe. Buffalo or bust! Keep on making these videos, it's a great insight into your psyche and I love them!

Love the reference to Chef John about the pinch of cayenne. I watch a lot of chefs do their thing, including Jamie Oliver, Chef John of Food wishes and now your channel. Actually stumbled across yours while searching for a recipe. It is so important and impressive that each step is shown with fantastic commentary. Job well done!!

Amazing! I’ve tried about 3 different ways to oven baking wings from 3 different chefs on RU-vid and this is by far the must educational and inspirational and I’m going to do this ASAP.

I followed your recipe and the wings came out amazingly crispy. Such a healthy alternative, Thank you!

Made these two nights ago. Absolutely freaking delicious and the best wings I have had in a long time. Thanks, Kenji

Made these last weekend with my girlfriend - They were the best wings ive ever tasted. tasted exactly like dive bar wings, the best kind of wings you can get.

got to know your channel only this year! been watching several of your recipes! i gotta say you are an awesome chef! i really appreciate the science in your cooking

What I like about your videos is the facts, and science behind "why things happen", and the "how to" and "what does what"... etc;. It all comes together in my mind when I do a recall on watching other chef's doing videos on the exact same recipes. I do not understand why you do not have over a million subs and views on every video you do. Thank You so much, and I will diffidently be watching more of your posts.

Learned this method from Babish when he name dropped you. So happy to see it in full form today. Keep it up Kenji!

Kenji's casual style of cooking has taught me to take more risks in the kitchen and try out new things. Before I just used to throw things together, but now I actually take some time to prepare delicious meals.

This looks amazing. Can't wait to make them LIVE! Thanks for sharing.

Just a friendly reminder to all aspiring home cooks out there that Baking Powder and Baking Soda ARE NOT THE SAME THING!

Kenji hand washing at beginning of pandemic: counts to 20 seconds Kenji hand washing now: splashes them with soap, thats good

Made these and they turned out absolutely amazing - thanks for sharing your secret!

this guy is so humble man, just literally talking about star wars during the video, love your content, keep it up dude!

i did these today. kenji- you have outdone yourself. all i can say is WOW. the consistency was perfect. juicy and delicious. the sauce was incredible. i had to force myself to stop eating. so easy yet so delicious. thank you!

Mentioning Chef John and Babish in the same video makes me feel good knowing some of the foodie RU-vid world.

The commitment to make a kitchen exactly like the one of the phone would be kinda impressive, if it wasn't already the same

I've now made these I don't know how many times. Guys, just do it. I had to send this recipe to probably every friend and family member I have. It's my go-to recipe for guests snacks and it gets alot ooo's and wow's every time.

Used the convection feature on my oven for the first time today thanks to you. I've had that oven for what...a good 5 years now? Chef Kenji out here changing lives...

This is the first recipe of yours I discovered almost 4 years back. Since then I've probably gone through most of the SE site and Bravetart's book since then. Funny how a detailed article on chicken wing science would get me into cooking seriously. Cheers

From all us guys, gals, and non-binary pals, we love it Kenji! Don’t stop being you!

Always in awe of your skills!

Tried this wing recipe today. They came out perfect. Nice crunch and juicy. We didn't have Franks hotsauce either. I love not frying the wings. Thank you.

I love how all you RU-vid cooking legends mention each other in videos.

Dang, Kenji's time-passage transitions are on point now 👌

These are by far the best wings I had in many years. Thanks for sharing with us. I made them in hot air fryer25 minutes at 180 *Centigrade turning them over once midway.

Just tried this recipe and whole family approved. Even my 5 and 8 year olds kept reaching for seconds. I did end up using the air fryer. Thanks for sharing easy recipes with ingredients easily found.

HOLD UP I JUST MADE THE RANCH RECIPE ON THE VIDEO AND IT IS AMAZING!! I’ve been making wings this way for the ease of cooking crispy wings in my oven but man, y’all sleeping on this man’s ranch recipe.

LOVE your cupboard with the vertical drawers Kenj

Thank you so much for the good recipe and the great tips. I learned so much watching this i'm super excited to make these

I can't stop making these wings! I've been experimenting with different hot sauces--I'm not a Frank's girl, so I've come up with 2 different combinations. One uses 50% Sambal Olek, 50% Sri Racha, with the dipping sauce being a Kewpie mayo/mirin/rice wine vinegar combo. The other is using California Pepper Plant Sauce (out of Gilroy), which has a jalapeño base and lots of garlic. I think next on the list is to try using some of my other favorite hot sauces instead. Thanks a ton, Kenji!

Made for immediate fam's Christmas Eve buffet. HUGE HIT! Couldn't find fresh wings, so stopped at a halal butcher; he had 4 pounds. Flavor so amazing, I'm going back to thank him and buy more! This old Dad is now raving about a tiny butcher shop... and this recipe!

I followed this recipe and it was absolutely incredible!

Always learn so much from each of your videos. Great teaching skills

Kenji: "garlicpress doesnt hurt the gar-" *crushes garlic into pieces*

0:28 that sound of chicken tossing is so satisfying

I love this recipe. Thanks for sharing!

Tried this recipe last night, loved it!!

"I'm a flats guy." See I knew I liked you for a reason.

For the wing sauce, I make what I like to call a Beurre Franc. It’s the exact same technique as a beurre blanc, but substitute Frank’s Red Hot for the wine and garlic for the shallots. You get a really nice emulsion that way.

These look so good! looking forward to making them.

Yuuummmmm! I just stumbled upon your videos while looking for garlic noodles which i never heard of until today. I'm going to have to try these wings for sure! Thanks for posting your recipes

One thing that I learned to do (almost by accident) when I worked as a line cook - don't use all the sauce in the first tossing, then broil the wings, then toss again with the left-over sauce. Works especially well with a sauce that has a little sugar (I tend to add just a little BBQ sauce for this very reason) because the sugars caramelize, boosting the flavour. Although that all comes at the cost of a little crispiness.

You heard it here folks: Andrew is into his "tiny whisk"

I love how you called out like three other chef's during this. Shows that its a community versus a league of some sort where you guys chop each other down, ya I planned that pun. Videos are great, thanks Kenji. Learned a bunch of new things.

Great video can’t wait to try this, thanks piers for sending me this

Man that "..in about 3 hrs" cut was so smooth

I did this and let the wings dry in the fridge for about 16 hours. They turned out amazing. Couldn’t tell that they weren’t fried. I used my own Buffalo recipe but it isn’t much different than most recipes out there. Definitely gonna be doing this a couple times a month.

This is so awesome young man I am going to try this for the Super Bowl have a blessed weekend.

This sounds incredibly good at the end.

It's nice to finally find a recipe for this. Normally, I just wing it.

What the heck. I was thinking of chicken and then Kenji uploads this on the same day.

love the quote under your toes, love your channel too .. my feet don't hurt, and I ran cross country when I was young, still jog today

Thank you for sharing the recipe. Yummy!

I made these tonight, my bf & kids loved them ! It was my first time ever cooking chicken wings

I'm going to give this method a try for my next batch of Korean style fried chicken. BTW, have you ever developed a recipe on crispy pork belly?

Thanks kenji they came out awesome

Love that you loved in Ny . That’s wonderful!

Nice vid. Just a couple tips as I’m doing this with regular wings from the store. 1. Put the chicken on the rack without the dry rub the night before. Even after drying with the paper towel, the salt/baking powder/corn starch kind of turned into a paste. Instead, just let them really dry out overnight and then in the morning add your rub for that nice dusting. 2. Use half the amount of salt if you are using table salt since Kenji is using coarse Kosher salt.
