This was my first attempt last weekend on cooking SV chicken wings. I grilled, deep fried, smoked, baked them before and they were always good. This time I decided to try SV-ed them to see the difference. I vac packed 2# of wings and in the SV container with hot water at 155F. Cooked them for three hours, then on the wiring rack and in the fridge till tomorrow to dry.... Next day was a day when my son visiting us so... when he comes he already was itchy for wings and tried to rush me to start cooking them. I made him waiting till noon and... rock and roll! Get my small deep fryer, heat the oil till it's 375F and small batch (4-5) of wings in. Meantime, I started cooking my ginger-garlic-honey souse for wings.....
While doing that, started on green beans with smoked turkey... Oh, yeahhhhh... This was something: constantly switching between wings, souse and beans trying to not overcook something... Beans in the boiling water for 3 min. and then in ice water to keep them crunchy and color green.
My last batch of wings was done almost exactly when I finished my souse and greens...
The wings were very tender. They were crunchy at the beginning but souse made them softer later. I ate only 5 of them and my son finished the rest! As usual, the wife tried only one wing, said it was tasty and that's all - she doesn't like deep fried food.... But: my son said this was the best wings he ever ate! What I can say: the wings were delicious! They were somewhat different texture-wise from just deep fried or grilled wings. I cannot say they were better - but they were different and definitely, I will be making SV wings next time. Thank you for watching!
