Garlic Parm Hot Wings - Oven-Fried Chicken Wings with Spicy Garlic Parmesan Crust Recipe

hello this is chef john from food wishes comm with garlic and parm that's right this is video recipe 800 I can't believe it that has to be some kind of record in fact I think you can look that up in the Book of Records only people's moms care about should be in there but anyway I'm very excited about this wing recipe we're using a new technique we're again going to simulate frying the wings but doing it in the oven and this is how we're going to do it so of course first we need some chicken wings I have about 20 wings that have been split in half so I'm about 40 pieces there so and besides the wings you'll notice I'm holding one of those spiders which is what we call those wires strainers and that's important because the first step is going to be power boiling the wings so in a big stockpot I have three quarts of cold water I'm going to add a whole bunch of salt some balsamic vinegar a bay leaf some dry thyme some dry oregano and some dry rosemary we're going to go ahead and put our heat on high and when that comes up to a simmer we're going to carefully add the chicken wings in and that's going to take a couple minutes to come back to a simmer once it just starts to simmer I want you to time it for 15 minutes and we're doing this for several reasons one we're going to give the chicken wings a head start it's going to make them crisp up better in the hot oven it's also good in part of course a nice flavor and seasoning alright and don't be surprised towards the end if they start to float and I'm not sure exactly what the reason is for that I assume it has something to do with buoyancy so what you're going to do after 15 minutes you're going to take your spider or any other kind of strainer you're going to fish these out onto some kind of rack and we're going to let those air dry for 15 minutes at least we don't want these to be wet when we go ahead and mix them with our garlic power makhotin which is of course the next step so we're just going to let those sit there and it's on to my mortar and pestle I have a bunch of garlic like a ton of garlic I'm going to toss in a big pinch of salt and I'm going to grind that down to a paste now what garlic cloves you always want to start off slow otherwise these will fly all over the place but once you get it going it will smash down to a pace very quickly and look something like that of course if you want you can do this in a food processor or a blender but this just works so much better also easy cleanup alright we're going to throw our garlic into a very large mixing bowl I need plenty of room to toss I'm going to add some olive oil and then we are calling these how so we're gonna add some pepper a lot of black pepper and a lot of red pepper flakes and yes my 800 video does not include any cayenne I refuse to be pigeonholed alright I'm gonna give that a mix and right here I realized I need a little more oil alright I want this a little thinner a little looser so let me show you here that's just about what you want right there so adjust your oil if need be and then go ahead and pile in your now cooled and dried wings along with a small amount of plain dry breadcrumb very fine breadcrumb important I don't think I would use panko for this or any of those other larger grained breadcrumbs so we're going to toss in the breadcrumbs I'm going to grab my spatula and we're going to toss that and we're going to make sure this is completely and thoroughly coated and when you're very confident that's happened I want you to dust it with fresh Parmesan cheese the real stuff the Reggiano imported from Italy you know the drill so pay the extra couple bucks and get the good stuff alright we're going to toss that as soon as that looks like it's incorporated we'll give it another grading we're going to toss that and then we're actually going to do that a third time and the reason we don't want to put that all in at once is you could get complication there's nothing worse once that last addition is tossed in we're going to transfer this to a foil lined very well oiled baking sheet alright so I sprayed it with the nonstick spray generously we're going to dump those on we're going to make sure they're all spaced evenly by the way those flats the flat sections of the wings I like to have the smooth side up that'll just Brown better and then before these go in a very hot oven we're going to give them one last dusting of parmesan make sure every single piece gets a little fine grading alright and then we're going to put those in a 450 degree oven for about 20 minutes or so until they look like this and no you don't have to turn them halfway through just leave them in there and that cheese is going to fuse with that garlic paste and those bread crumbs and form the best crunchiest most delicious coating ever your guests will swear some of them literally that you did these in a deep fryer but you did not all right we're going to plate those up of course you can't use blue cheese that's for buffalo wings these are garlic Carmen's so we're going to use some creamy Italian dressing I sprinkled it with a little red pepper flake take that food stylist and of course I'm going to taste one using the technique from our famous how to eat a chicken wing video where we're removing the two little bones so that we're just dipping pure meat and crunchy coating goodness and why didn't I show you because you got to watch the video go check it out look at that so amazing how amazing I was so happy I spontaneously broke into the Gangnam style horse dance using chicken bones I forget that guy's name but he's like the chef John of Korea anyway one-hit wonders aside these really were fan tastic and that's right write it down video 800 chef jumper downs fantastic right so I really hope you give these a try head over to food wishes calm for all the ingredient amounts and more info as usual and as always enjoy

Ah yes, I watched this video a many a year ago when I was wing novice. It helped me become the wing eating master that I am today.

I love chef john, but no. Might as well eat your pizza with a fork and knife and get a paper towel to damp the grease off...

[u/timfressler]
