Hi. This is still relevant. On Christmas, a buddy fried wings in the kitchen; so good. I then remembered that I have a butterball turkey fryer that I only used one time. Now I have a reason to get it out and use it. Thank you for the video.
Doug, you rock! Love how you cook. You explain things really easily. I like the idea of not using the basket. I did that and cooked 48 wings (4 doz) like real easy. I just added more oil. I had thought it was for turkey frying only. Happy frying
don't short on the oil..adding more oil at pre-heat helps recovery from thermal shock of first dropping food in..kinduv a heat momentum so to say that you create by adding more btu potential...
This was very cathartic. I want that fryer, your hand looks just like my hand, the chicken sound like a Foley artist eq'd a crunch sound. Perfect! The Idea of 2 levels can be pulled off. I'd take a metal cookie sheet and drill 3/8 holes cut to size with appropriate tool. Or u can by stainless steel sheet and do the same... Or If u have an old fry basket, u can sacrifice it and cut the corners, flatten it out, then tin snip to perfect shape.. Thx for the video dood!
If those wings were frozen and then defrosted in sink and breaded right before cooking, no chance they will brown. Also new oil won't get brown result as well .Place wings on wire rack and place in fridge for 24 hours with a lil salt. Skin will tighten up and will brown and get crispy. Same as Turkey. Can not put a "wet" turkey in oil and expect dark brown result. Skin steams, lowers temp, takes longer. If you do bread them, use 1/3 corn starch with flour for color and crisp. Wings should take 14 minutes.
You can also drop the basket in empty and then drop an entire 4lb bag into the oil. The basket will catch everything when it's done. I've done it plenty of times.
I enjoyed the video and the chicken did look good and great crunch but I would recommend anyone who watches this video to never reuse flour after it has been used with raw chicken, I mean come on flour is dirt cheap any how so why risk it, also never ever use this machine without the basket, I use it with turkey breast and whole turkey and it does a great job, other than that great job man
If you are wet frying it will stick to the basket. Also, you can freeze your flour and reuse it for CHICKEN and fry it.... frying kills the bacteria the first time, but not the second?
Thank you so much for this video because in a few weeks I will be getting my Butter Ball fryer and everyone use peanut oil and peanut oil cost but I can afford vegetables old but I'm still going to get peanut oil for my turkey
Having tge timer start when it hits temp can not work for a deep fryer. If you did it would start timer before foodcwas in the fryer. It's not like cooking in an oven or a boiler where you can lut tge food in ahead of time. Frying no way your going to just happen to notice and put the food in fright when it hits temp. Much better to just wait. Ntgen when it shows up to temp set fthe timer and drop the food in.
No no...I know it's a little expensive but use peanut oil...and what's up with saving the flour? LOL NOOOO hopefully you didn't ever try just the bottom and no basket!
@@COOKINGWITHDOUG Ahh yeah. My wife has multiple degrees.. she would advise you to never wash your chicken and also don't re-use flour that has touched raw chicken
COOKINGWITHDOUG I know, they do here too. Just not my preference. Giving you hard time.. lol great video. Pay me no mind, didn't mean for my comment to be vicious brother.
I hope the flour you're planning to "use the next time" has not been contaminated with chicken. Otherwise, you'll likely be harvesting dangerous bacteria.
I reuse my flour mix all of the time. I use gluten free so it's expensive. I don't use it on anything other than chicken. I freeze it when I'm done with it and the chicken dipped in it gets fried at a high temp... what's going to live?
worst turkey fryer I ever owned it would not get over 275 degrees it was obviously made for 5 year old kids in China that were missing fingers my Thanksgiving was ruined completely will never recommend or buy a butterball product again
It will , when you need it the most ,on a holiday 30 minutes before dinner it will let you down. I got a gas one and will never have to worry about it again.
I got one for Thanksgiving, and it did an amazing job! Loved it once I figured out how to use the settings, lol :) Our turkey was amazing! I want to do wings next :)

It will not retain heat if its open..thats why its not as brown as you would have liked
dem wings looking kinda light
The grease was too fresh! That’s why our grandmother’s saved it in those metal folders cans!
I know I'm late but why didn't you drop the basket in the grease before loading the chicken?
yes
don't short on the oil..adding more oil at pre-heat helps recovery from thermal shock of first dropping food in..kinduv a heat momentum so to say that you create by adding more btu potential...
you have wires on the heater at the bottom please use basket
+Chloe Reed oh yeah 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 thanks

You're supposed to heat the oil to desired temp and place food in "Before" setting the timer.
What size do you own?
man i tried this with chicken thoghs and it turned awesome. thank you for the info
This looks awesome can you share what sealer you use to package your chicken please? Thanks!
Thanks man! I had no clue how to cook wings in this
Do you have the large one or the extra large one

Good stuff Doug....thanks for the videos....keep em coming...
Thank you so much for this video because in a few weeks I will be getting my Butter Ball fryer and everyone use peanut oil and peanut oil cost but I can afford vegetables old but I'm still going to get peanut oil for my turkey
Place near me has awesome wings and 10 different sauces. Cost is 13 bucks. No cleanup. I'll continue to go here when I want wings. Lol
Wow! That crunch!
Doug wassssup ! Have you tried cooking fish in the turkey fryer?
I'm allergic, but I've seen people do it 4sure
I would not recommend dropping the wings in to the black basket without being in the basket it could damage your element,it's a reason for the basket
A divider came with mine and I have that same machine..
Too light, doesn't look done
Im gonna assume something terrible here but are you of Caucasian decent madam?
@@lordkiza8838 wtf
@@MrBeast1901 watch that foot
It's new oil. The older the oil the darker it gets
chicken not ready. you see that blood dippin out?
Why are they so light?
Fresh oil was used. I normally do a quick fry and then drop them again in the oil for 7 mins so the skin will darken.
I have the never model I got this Thanksgiving. But thanks for the video. Those wings were like you want them take care
Your letting all the heat out leaving it open to long during the process
Use the basket! It will make your life easier :)
Didn’t realize you saved old flour? I thought you were just prepared for next time?
Yeah...that was a bad tip...don't do that lol 😆 (I didn't know any better at the time)
By the calculation of the timer you complained about...it took 15 minutes for the oil to come to temperature. LOL
did u try to do the wings without the basket
I was looking for a video like this. 😀 Now I am going to copy you and buy one. It's good that you can use it for chicken as well. Thanks. 😁

+320320pinky I didnt...I was thinking off the top but obviously when I would have looked ......
Ha 7 years ago. I just paid $14 for 1 gallon.
When I heard him say the price of the oil I had to see when the video was made🤣🤣
The only thing good about this video is the CRUNCH! at the end.
that crunch thoooooo
Them are not done
Looks great, but where's the Buffalo sauce???
The chicken ain’t brown enough
Not golden brown enough for me. Use peanut oil the next time.
Patricia Kidd Ryce I was thinking the same.
I agree on that I brought me peanut oil it’s pretty good
It’s a no for me. Chicken not brown enough.
Otherwise a very helpful video! Nice cameras!
That chicken is not done
CDC recommends you DO NOT wash your chicken, look it up.
Lol 😆 you still listen to those folks
@@COOKINGWITHDOUG Ahh yeah. My wife has multiple degrees.. she would advise you to never wash your chicken and also don't re-use flour that has touched raw chicken
I always wash my chicken. The CDC doesn’t know everything
The CDC can say what they want. I wash the hell out of my chicken and turkey. I'd wash ground beef if I could. 🤣🤣
💯💯😂😂
Great video.. except for you breading chicken wings. Who breads their chicken wings?!
+Joey Carroll huh??? Not sue where you live but wings get breaded as well
COOKINGWITHDOUG I know, they do here too. Just not my preference. Giving you hard time.. lol great video. Pay me no mind, didn't mean for my comment to be vicious brother.
Joey Carroll where do you live at most people bread wings.
Mark Minez I live in Southwest Virginia. Some people bread them around here too. I prefer them deep fried real crispy, just no breading.
Joey Carroll lol
Look like albino chicken wings
🤣
I hope the flour you're planning to "use the next time" has not been contaminated with chicken. Otherwise, you'll likely be harvesting dangerous bacteria.
+andikav2004 yikes lol
COOKINGWITHDOUG what type of flour did you use?
Doug knows how to cook.
I reuse my flour mix all of the time. I use gluten free so it's expensive. I don't use it on anything other than chicken. I freeze it when I'm done with it and the chicken dipped in it gets fried at a high temp... what's going to live?
I Pass Not done enough
Just buy an air fryer. No oil needed. And taste much better
Look raw
Thanks for viewing :)
What no SAUCE? Disappointing.
+Gabe Hartman thanks for viewing
worst turkey fryer I ever owned it would not get over 275 degrees it was obviously made for 5 year old kids in China that were missing fingers my Thanksgiving was ruined completely will never recommend or buy a butterball product again
my Butterball turkey fryer has never failed it works awesome.
It will , when you need it the most ,on a holiday 30 minutes before dinner it will let you down. I got a gas one and will never have to worry about it again.
this worries me, what you said. I just one of these things.
It only takes one malfunction to ruin your holiday
I got one for Thanksgiving, and it did an amazing job! Loved it once I figured out how to use the settings, lol :) Our turkey was amazing! I want to do wings next :)
