Sold 200 lbs of chicken wings tonight boys. Most popular flavors were mild buffalo and garlic buffalo. Thinking about dropping ten for myself before I close down.

how long do you fry your wings? and what's your breading mixtures/process? actually just got a deep fryer and looking to try some out soon

[Anonymous No.14925511]

60 x 12 = 720
On what fucking planet does 200lbs of chicken deliver sub 1k wings?

[Anonymous No.14925514]

>>14925496
No we deep fry them naked at 350 for 12-13 minutes longer if they ask for them well done.

[Anonymous No.14925560]

>>14925514
You don’t parfry them ahead of time? You’re waiting 12 min on every order of wings? Do you have like a dozen deep fryers? That’s brutal

[Anonymous No.14925576]

>>14925560
I have two fryers for 4 total baskets. The only time I will ever parfry a wing is on Super Bowl Sunday for which I sell roughly 5-6 hundred lbs a shift.

[Anonymous No.14925595]

>>14925514
After we fry them our sauce is made of butter franks red and tomato puree

awesome, thank you! do you prefer doing them naked or is it just a cost saving thing?

[Anonymous No.14925761]

>>14925629
It’s the way we been doing them for 36 years. Breaded wings don’t stay crispy after you toss em

I still don't believe that you're doing the numbers you claim with only 3 line cooks, let alone selling that many wings in a night without them being par cooked. Occupying a fryer basket for 10+ minutes is pretty ridiculous no matter what it is. The numbers just don't add up if you only have 2 fryers and are presumably doing fries and other shit.

[Anonymous No.14925969]

Like I told you last night you wouldn’t last a shift in my kitchen. I do the numbers I say and I cook the amount I say I cook. You’re ass wouldn’t be able to cook my kitchen if you’re life depended on it.

In my kitchen I’m the only person who is selling the food. I fry the wings I cook the beef i cook the chicken and I cook the fish. There is a reason the pub I run has been open for 36 years.

On a side note I’m bout to enjoy a twisted tea and try an American spirit menthol for the first time. Any thoughts on that nonbeliever?

[Anonymous No.14926011]

I manage a bar and grill and we use sysco frozen wings and we only fry them like 7 mins at 350.

[Anonymous No.14926014]

>>14925969
I wouldn't doubt you if your numbers added up, and boasting about how you apparently now work ever station isn't helping your credibility.
>>14925994
The only thing worse than an AS is a menthol, and Twisted Tea is too gross to choke down fast enough to even get a buzz, especially on top of a menthol. Are you actually an 8 year old girl?

Next weekend I’ll show you the numbers on the computer, then you’ll shut the fuck up about it. In this kitchen we have a grill and two fryers. I cook all the food besides salads and cold cut sandwiches. I work in Florida and it’s hot all the time so a menthol ciggy is nice. Twisted tea is also nice in a hot humid environment. It’s 24oz of non carbonated drank. The American spirit menthol was also nice. I smoke Kool’s so it was a nice change of pace as it smoked for a longer amount of time.

Our wings aren’t frozen. They come from the truck ready to go. If you try frying frozen wings in hot oil you’re asking for trouble.

[Anonymous No.14926070]

>>14926011
Also how the fuck do you get a crispy wing in 7 min? Change up that shit or you’ll be out in 5 years.

[Anonymous No.14926075]

How do people work jobs like these for decades on end? Don't you get tired of the meager pay for constantly having to be staying ontop of orders?

I took over the night shift position 6 years ago. I work 50 hours a week wed-sun and make roughly 60k doing it. The place has been a gold mine for the owner for decades and I’m happy to make money and save for my own place one day. Sometimes the work sucks but you have to be looking towards the future to stay motivated. I’ll have my own business one day and that’s what will keep any decent chef happy to come into work.

how do your wings take 12-13 minutes? I work for a wing chain and ours take about 7-8 minutes at 350F and the temp reaches well over 165 every time. are you cooking from frozen?

[Anonymous No.14926168]

>>14926135
No the wings are not frozen. I don’t temp the wings as I cook them i wait for them to look as crispy as I would want them served to me. We toss our wings in a tomato based sauce so as soon as they’re tossed that’s the most crispy they will be. Tomato is acidic and if something sits in an acidic sauce it will start the soggy process. I don’t know where you work or how your wings look but if you are frying them just to temperature doneness and then tossing them I would guess they come out soggy and not crispy.

[Anonymous No.14926212]

>>14926168
Still, 12 min per order is crazy long. You should just parfry them. You’d be able to get them out in a quarter of the time.

[Anonymous No.14926236]

>>14926212
Parfrying a chicken wing will never taste the same as a fresh wing. On our menu we state that everything is cooked to order. Our customers knows that ordering chicken wings will take a good minute to prepare. We understand that we are a pub and that food shouldn't take long to come to then table/bar but we reserve the right to say our food is always cooked to order and that you will love the shit

Been doing it that way for like 50 years. And you can put a frozen wing in hot oil. Do you retards actually cook?

Are you in Northport? I used to live in Venice. What a shithole that place was. Kek. No wonder you sell out of Tyson wings tossed in generic sauce.

wings are such a meme. why do white people like them so much?

Bro we dropped frozen wings at pizza hut. As this thread goes on you become increasingly less knowledgeable and increasing more crackheady

>If you try frying frozen wings in hot oil you’re asking for trouble.
I've only worked in a few places but I've never not seen wings go in frozen. maybe not with giant chunks of ice on them but definitely not thawed
