Chicken wings

[Reyort]

I like my ninja air fryer. I don’t miss my old fryer.

love them but can’t eat them since adopting hens… too traumatic for me, it’s like eating their little arms… but yeah, they’re very good

OMG now maybe I can’t eat them again either😥

But … these are my piri piri chicken wings. Shaken with a mix of piri piri seasoning, baking powder (just a tsp, it’s meant to make them crisper) put in my halogen oven for 20 minutes each side. The halogen oven is a bit like an airfryer!

Sometimes I just tuck in or sometimes I melt some butter into some Frank’s extra hot sauce.

I just discovered that if you live in an area that has a Buffalo Wild Wings, they deep fry their wings in tallow. I was very excited to find that out. I can stop feeling guilty when I eat their wings.

What fryer do you use for your beef tallow? Do you preheat the tallow? Do you store it in the fryer or elsewhere? How do you strain it? How many cook cycles do you get out of a tallow batch

I use a normal fryer, with the heater element in the area where the oil should be. I put a metal container (and sometimes a jar also) containing the tallow into my sous vide and put water up about 2/3s of the way. I heat to about 130, and you have to do this a while before to get everything heated.

I store in a metal container with top for storing frying oil. I don’t get as many cook cycles out of it as I would like, maybe 5 or so. That’s partly because what you put in there usually has a coating on it, and the coating comes off.

I use a metal strainer + a paper filter to filter it. I have an Infrared Thermometer, and I wait until the tallow gets cool enough, say 140, then run it through the filter/strainer.

I’ll see if I can remember to post the stuff I have, as it’s all from Amazon.
