I normally preheat to 425 and dry them well and apply a generous coating of baking powder (this makes them crispy) mixed with salt, pepper, paprika and garlic powder.
Make sure they are spaced out evenly on a lightly coated pan (I prefer spray for this for convenience) and bake for an hour, turning every 20 mins.
Afterward I’ll toss them in either barbecue sauce (buffalo wild wings makes a great premade honey barbecue sauce) or a classic Frank’s Red Hot sauce made of that plus butter so that the sauce sticks well and I find that the dairy butter helps even out the flavor profile.
Curious to know what tips and tricks you all may have! Chicken wings can be delicious if prepared properly.

You deep fry them until they float, around 15-20 minutes and then toss them in franks red hot, and butter. Dip in blue cheese dressing before consuming.
Any other way is wrong.

20 minutes in a deep fryer sounds insane

Fry till crispy skin.
Remove and toss in buffalo sauce of choice.
Throw in 450 degree oven till sauce is sticky.

Raw cold chicken wings in a fryer drop the temperature rather dramatically, especially if you drop 20+ at once. It takes 10 minutes or so just for the temperature to rise back up to ~350°F. You’re more so waiting until they’re crisp and floating. That’s the point of a time range.

Usually I just yell “BABE, Can you make me some chicken wings?” and they appear in no time
If you cant find chicken wings, you can replace by gnomes arms, they are so small, you wont see the difference
Gomes have 4 fingers per hand. I didn’t know that until SoD.
Yeah they are closer to smurfs
I go to Wing Stop and overpay for my unhealthy slop. what are you poor
I just like to use the Zatarain boxed fry up. I know it’s a shortcut but they’re really easy and taste delicious out of the deep fryer.
Salt them and place on a wire rack inside a sheet tray in the fridge the night before to dry the skins out, fry them at 350 until basically cooked. Cool them. When ready to serve fry at 400 for a few minutes in larger batches and toss in pre heated sauce of choice
Deep fry them. I use franks red hot with some sriracha mixed in. Also if you want ir hotter add horseradish.
Haven’t heard that recipe before. I just remember his 40 garlic chicken and Fry Hard pan chicken.

the logic used in the episode was “chicken wings have enough fat in them to fry themselves” but also “so much fat that you’re gonna fill your house with smoke doing it”, so you precook them to help with that problem
