Sous Vide Buffalo Chicken Wings

Servings size: 8 Wings

Vacuum sealing prevents water from entering a bag while circulating.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

  • Fill a large cambro with warm water and set your circulator to 165F.
  • Place vacuum sealed chicken (pre-salted and peppered) directly into water bath and cook for 2 hours.
  • Remove from water bath and place bag in to an ice bath for 5 minutes to stop cooking.
  • Remove chicken from bag and drain liquid.
  • Lay chicken on a cooling rack and place in the fridge for at least one hour.
  • Fill a large/sturdy pot with oil (approximately 40% full) and heat until 400F.
  • While oil is heating, melt butter and combine with hot sauce and red pepper flakes.
  • Once oil has reached 400F, carefully add the chicken wings.
  • Cook wings for approximately 3-4 minutes, just until golden brown.
  • Add wings to sauce right out of the fryer and toss to coat.
  • Plate wings and serve with your favorite Ranch or Blue Cheese dressing.
Cooling the chicken down in the fridge, will prevent any further cooking and will also firm the skin up. 1 hour minimum, up to 8 hours. The longer the better.
After 3-4 minutes of frying, the skin will crisp up. Keep in mind, that the Sous Vide cooking method already cooked the wings, frying them is for added flavor, color and texture.
We were in too much of a rush to eat these, otherwise we would’ve added celery and carrots to the plate!
