Crispy Perfection: Mastering the Art of Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 19:47:54 GMT

Crispy Perfection: Mastering the Art of Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Which Sunday Funday snack gets our first-round pick for the perfect football finger food? Air-fried chicken wings take the win every time!

Enjoy a healthier take on this fan favorite, cooked up fresh in your air fryer. Simple to prepare, fresh – or even frozen – air fried chicken wings cut out extra calories while also retaining the classic crunch you love. A smarter, easier preparation on this savory Sunday snack not only satisfies your craving for crispy, delicious chicken wings, but also helps keep your family healthy and game-ready through the post season. Whether you prefer to serve simple hot wings straight from the air fryer or toss with a spicy, sweet, or smoky sauce, air fryer chicken wings cooked in your Vida Sana™ Cook+ Air Fryer Oven are a guaranteed taste touchdown!

We’ve got the recipe for using your air fryer to score big with hungry game-day crowds. Read on for the Princess House play-by-play on how and why to use your Vida Sana™ Cook+ Air Fryer Oven when serving up the crispy chicken wing texture and flavor you love without the extra oils of traditional preparation.

Why Air Fryer Wings?

Air fryers like our innovative Vida Sana™ Cook+ Air Fryer Oven offer a healthier, safer, cleaner, and more efficient alternative to other methods for cooking wings and so much more.

Conventional frying methods rely heavily on oils, producing unhealthy amounts of trans fats which can raise cholesterol, clog arteries, and ultimately lead to serious health problems including obesity and heart disease. Regularly consuming fried foods only exacerbates these concerns. Air frying, however, harnesses the power of circulating hot air to produce the crispy, crave-able fried food texture that everyone loves without the detriments of added fats. Where an air fryer recipe may sometimes call for the occasional tablespoon of oil, it is not uncommon for deep-frying directions to require multiple cups of cooking oil. Cooking with increased quantities of oil results in more calorie consumption, while embracing air frying as a healthier alternative to deep-frying food may actually cut calorie intake by as much as 80%.

Though the occasional culinary indulgence can’t cause too much harm, consistency is key when maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Electing to air fry tasty bites like your traditional game day chicken wings allows you to treat yourself to your favorite football-watching foods while still making smarter, healthier food choices for your family.

Deep-frying foods at home can quickly evolve into a dangerous endeavor – especially when entertaining! Hot oil does not complement a crowded kitchen. And, even without the threat of accident or injury, the excessive amount of oil required for more traditional frying methods can leave you with both a messy and foul-smelling kitchen, plus a vat of grease in need of proper discarding.

In addition to saving yourself the hassle of clean-up and safety concerns, the air fryer preparation process is easier and more efficient than oil-based cooking. Heating oil to optimal cooking temperature requires tools, time, and patience and can impact the quality of your food. Oil temperature that is too hot can scorch your wings leaving you with a burnt, inedible end-product. An even worse possible outcome? Wings cooked in oil that isn’t hot enough can yield a sad, soggy exterior and raw – unsafe to eat – interior.

Our Signature Air Fryer Crispy Wing Recipe

Spotlight on our signature air fryer crispy wings! With this simple recipe, your Vida Sana™ Cook+ Air Fryer Oven, minimal ingredients, and just a few minutes of prep time, you’ll be digging into hot, tasty wings fresh from the air fryer right on time for kick-off.

Ingredients

2 lbs. chicken wings
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. salt (or to taste)
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. onion powder
Cooking spray

Instructions

Press red ON/OFF button. Turn dial until AIR FRY preset is selected (preset will illuminate, blink, and display default temperature and time). Press TEMP icon on right side of panel and turn dial to increase to 400°F, then press TIME icon and turn dial to increase to 15 minutes. Press START button to begin preheating (PREHEAT icon will blink during this process).
While oven preheats, remove tips of wings, split at the joint, and pat dry with a paper towel.
Add wings to bowl with remaining ingredients, spray lightly, and toss with tongs to coat.
Open oven door, slide baking tray into oven at bottom position, add wings to fry basket and slide into oven at top position, and close oven door to begin cooking (clock will begin counting down from preset time).
Open oven door and slide fry basket out. Add wings to clean bowl with sauce of choice (recipes below) and toss to coat with clean tongs. Serve immediately.

Elevate Your Wings with Win-Worthy Sauces

Score extra points with your loved ones when you whip up wing sauces worthy of a touchdown celebration dance! Now that you’ve mastered making crispy chicken wings in your air fryer, it’s time for a flavorful final touch. Whether you like your wings hot and spicy, tangy, creamy, sweet, or smoky, Princess House has just the recipe for the perfect sauce to satisfy the whole team.

Make Family-Sized Memories with a Delicious Discada

The combined comforts of food and family blend together as the foundation for many of our fondest memories. Breathe in the smoky spice of the chorizo of your childhood. Hear the familiar sizzle as your father’s famous flank steak hits a hot grill. Flashback to your grandmother’s hands making your same motions as you prepare a traditional Mexican discada just the way she taught you. Our Princess House® Barbecue Disc allows you to recall the nostalgia and time-honored tradition of outdoor cooking while making even more memories with family and friends. Perfect for accommodating big crowds with ease, let our disc serve as the gathering point for young and old to continue the traditions of your treasured family recipes.

Meet the Princess House® Barbecue Disc

Born from farmers and ranchers repurposing plow discs as vessels to cook for their crews over campfires, today’s disc cooking remains rooted in those traditions of communal connection while also evolving to accommodate the needs of modern cooks. The Princess House® Barbecue Disc was designed with family-sized meals in mind. Featuring a 23-inch diameter to fill with the fixings for your favorite meals, our disc allows you to prepare super-sized portions of crowd-pleasers quickly and efficiently. From fajitas and tacos to carnitas and more – it has ample space to feed everyone you love.

Smart Design, Efficient Outdoor Cooking

Our disc, constructed of high-quality, corrosion-resistant 18/10 stainless steel, provides fast, efficient heat distribution. Featuring a concave shape, it concentrates the most heat at its middle for cooking while the outer rim keeps cooked ingredients warm, creating a large-scale, dual-temperature cooking surface. This dynamic design allows grill masters to serve more guests in less time. Cooks can simultaneously sear meats and sauté vegetables while also warming tortillas along the disc’s rim. Large, riveted handles also give oven mitt-equipped hands a sturdy, safe grip when transporting your disc. For optimal performance and safety, the Princess House® Barbecue Disc can only be used with a round, single gas/propane burner and stand for discs, making clean-up much easier than when cooking with charcoal.

Our Exclusive Tempered Glass Lid

Unlike other discs available in the market, Princess House has further refined this century-old design by adding a tempered glass lid to our disc. The lid keeps your culinary creations warm while protecting your food from falling leaves and flying insects. It also features our exclusive Princess Heritage® design and a sleek, wide stainless-steel band for a touch of style during your outdoor cooking experience.

Taco ‘Bout a Tasty Recipe: Mexican Discada

Now that you’ve learned more about our new Princess House® Barbecue Disc , you’ve just got to try Mexican discada! Gather the whole family and flex your backyard barbecue skills with this tasty take on discada tacos. Showcase your new disc, traditional Mexican flavors, and show-stopping family-style preparation with this simple recipe.

Ingredients

8 oz. smoked bacon, diced
14 oz. pork loin (skin removed), cubed
2.5 lbs. boneless chuck, cubed
8 oz. ham, diced
1 lb. pork chorizo, casing removed and crumbled
1 medium onion, diced
2 bell peppers (1 red, 1 green), diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
3 jalapeńo peppers
4 scallions

½ bunch cilantro, chopped and divided
Salt and pepper, to taste
Tortillas

Toppings and Sides

Lime wedges
Pico de gallo
Shredded cheese

Instructions

Preheat disc on disc stand over burner. Add bacon and cook, stirring as needed, until cooked and crispy, then move to edge of pan. Add pork loin and cook, stirring periodically, until fully cooked, then move to edge of pan.
Continue by adding the chuck. It will release juices but allow them to evaporate and the meat to brown. Move to edge of pan.
Next, add ham and stir until browned. Move to edge of pan.
Lastly, add chorizo and stir until completely cooked. Move to edge of pan.
Add onions and sauté until slightly softened. Add bell peppers and garlic and sauté 1 minute more before stirring in whole jalapeño peppers and scallions.
Move all meat back into center of disc with vegetables, add beef broth or beer and half of cilantro, and mix to combine. Let cook until broth evaporates and all ingredients are coated.
Add salt and pepper to taste, remaining cilantro, and mix to combine. Heat tortillas on disc edge, spoon discada into tortillas, and serve with desired toppings and side dishes.

Tips for Deep Frying Foods the Right Way

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 19:37:00 GMT

Tips for Deep Frying Foods the Right Way

Why do we have such an affection for fried foods? Perhaps it’s because they have the distinct ability to evoke tasty memories. Whether it’s the comforting crackle of chicken frying on a stovetop, the sweet smell of fresh funnel cake served up at the state fair, or the satisfaction of biting into a perfectly-crisped empanada, our favorite fried foods not only make our mouths water, they stir our senses. How do we harness the unmatched appeal of that crispy exterior and delicious interior that only fried preparation offers while still prioritizing our family’s health? How can we share our favorite fried recipes with friends and family without encouraging poor eating habits? Princess House has simple, efficient solutions just for you!

Control Frequency and Portion Sizes

While it shouldn’t appear on our daily menus, there’s no need to deny yourself or your family an occasional indulgence in the delicious fried treats you love. Eating a moderate, varied diet is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle. While your regular food choices certainly should lean towards healthier options, excessively restricting or forbidding access to “unhealthy” foods can, just as easily as over-indulging, lead to obesity and cravings for fatty food.

Simple solutions, like plating your favorite fried chicken alongside a fresh salad or other raw vegetables, can help keep your diet on course even with a little indulgence. Enjoying smaller portions or sharing a serving with friends and family are also smart options for including your favorite fried foods in your diet without abandoning your health goals.

It’s important to be proactive, too! Health-conscious cooks can seek opportunities to make better choices even during the prep process. Reducing the amount of batter or breading used for fried recipes or even swapping refined flour with substitutions like rice flour or cornmeal are simple yet impactful alternatives.

Choose the Right Oil

Avoid fried failure! Optimize preparation, taste, and health by choosing oils best equipped for the high temperatures required to properly cook your fried food favorites. Most fried foods are best prepared in oil heated to a temperature between 350-375°F. Using a cooking oil with a smoke point above that range helps make meals less likely to burn or become oversaturated with oil. Heating oils beyond their smoke points can lead to burnt or bitter-tasting foods and even cause potential for a kitchen fire.

Less flavor forward and stable at higher temperatures, refined oils make an excellent option for friend cooking. When choosing a refined oil, consider olive oil or avocado oil as healthier alternatives that still offer high quality cooking and subtle flavor.

You can further your focus on healthier, safer meal prep with the Princess Heritage® Signature 9-Qt. Stovetop Fryer . This innovative stainless steel stovetop fryer marries convenience, safety, and functionality. Featuring a removable stainless steel draining rack for cooked food and a thermometer allowing for frying at the ideal temperature with less oil absorption, this unique cookware piece is designed to promote healthier, more efficient frying.

Optimize Frying Techniques

The Princess Heritage® Signature 9-Qt. Stovetop Fryer also offers the freedom of better frying to home chefs interested in enjoying crispy fried creations while still keeping health top of mind. Equipped with features that support health-conscious cooking, the stovetop fryer is essential for favorites like French fries, fish and chips, and even desserts like churros and buñuelos. The removable thermometer promotes less oil absorption and more great taste by allowing you to fry at the right temperature. The cleverly designed attached glass lid lifts open to hold a removable stainless steel draining rack that also makes it easy to drain excess oil back into the fryer. Plus, the spouted rim adds another convenient touch, promoting easy pouring.

Proper Draining and Serving

Excess oil isn’t only unhealthy, but leaves your guests with greasy fingers rather than the satisfying crunch they crave. The Princess Heritage® Signature 9-Qt. Stovetop Fryer comes equipped with a removable stainless steel draining rack. Once food is removed and ready to serve, place your crispy creations atop absorbent paper towels and blot gently to soak up any stubborn surface oil.

NEW Princess Heritage® Signature 9-Qt. Stovetop Fryer

The Perfect Frying Duo

Waste not! Our NEW Princess House® Cooking Oil Container and Princess Heritage® Signature 9-Qt. Stovetop Fryer make the ideal frying pair. First, fry up tasty treats in our stovetop fryer, then extend the life of your leftover cooking oil with this cleverly-designed container, featuring a removable fine mesh strainer to strain food particles, protective lid to keep impurities out, and a spout for easy pouring, makes storing and reusing oil easy.

Boasting features developed to eliminate excess oils, maintain consistent cooking temperature, and support safe and efficient frying, our NEW Princess Heritage® Signature 9-Qt. Stovetop Fryer is an essential for home cooks and families looking for responsible ways to treat themselves. This fabulous fryer invites all the golden-fried goodness of the crispy comfort foods you love to your kitchen, while also continuing the Princess House tradition of innovative health-conscious design.

Carbon Steel: The Key for Making Delicious, Authentic Tortillas

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 19:04:25 GMT

Carbon Steel: The Key for Making Delicious, Authentic Tortillas

Whether you're craving tacos or carnitas, preparing them with fresh, homemade tortillas makes it even better – and it’s easier than you think! With our new Wildflower Wooden Tortilla Press and Princess House® Carbon Steel Comal, you can make delicious, authentic tortillas in minutes that will have everyone asking for second helpings.

The History and Meaning of Tortillas

Aside from being a staple in many households, tortillas date back thousands of years, are rooted in tradition, and symbolize warmth and comfort. Made from dried, finely ground corn, tortillas are believed to have first appeared around 10,000 BC in Mexico. Today, their allure has captured the world, transcending borders and generations to become a staple of today’s home cooks.

Although store-bought varieties are readily available, nothing compares to making them fresh in your own kitchen. By preparing them yourself, you have full control over the ingredients and taste without worrying about preservatives or artificial flavors – and our products make it a quick and easy process!

NEW Wildflower Wooden Tortilla Press

Equal parts functional and beautiful, our tortilla press makes this task fast and fun. Crafted from natural acacia wood, it boasts our exclusive wildflower design for a touch of elegance.

Our tortilla press also features an ergonomic, rounded edge handle for comfort while in use, plus its two hand grips allow for both left and right-handed operation.

NEW Princess House® Carbon Steel Comal

Cooking tortillas requires a pan that can stand up to the high-temperatures needed to make perfectly puffy and evenly browned results – and our carbon steel comal gets the job done right. Made from high-quality carbon steel, it combines the best attributes of carbon steel, cast iron, and stainless steel in a lightweight design that heats quickly and efficiently while withstanding high temperatures.

Our comal's pre-seasoned cooking surface means you don't need to season it before the first use. Over time, it will build a natural patina that improves its release properties while enhancing the flavor of your food. Plus, the comal's proprietary heat-treating process increases its strength and durability while resisting corrosion and rust.

More Great Features of Carbon Steel

Extreme Durability

Because carbon steel is super strong and durable, your comal will last for years to come. Its proprietary heat-treating process makes for low maintenance as it resists corrosion and rust.

Building a Natural Nonstick Surface

One of the unique benefits of using a carbon steel comal is its ability to develop a natural nonstick surface over time. As you continue to use your comal, it will build up a patina – a layer of seasoned coating that enhances the nonstick properties of the surface. It also adds a rich, unique flavor to tortillas and other foods.

Cooking Versatility

Our comal isn’t just for tortillas – its versatility extends to cooking a variety of foods! Whether you’re blistering peppers, searing meats, sautéing veggies, or even toasting spices, you can count on delicious results every time.

Enhancing Your Cooking with Carbon Steel

The best part about cooking with our comal is it improves with use, making it a key part of preparing tortillas and your other favorite meals. Whether you’re a seasoned cook or new to the kitchen, our Princess House® Carbon Steel Comal ensures a great experience.

Recipe Spotlight: Authentic Corn Tortillas with Veggie Salsa

Now that you’ve learned more about these two fabulous products, it’s time to put them to the test! Prepare this mouthwatering tortilla and salsa recipe for lunch and you’ll quickly add it to your list of fast, tasty go-to dishes.

Ingredients

2 cups masa “corn flour”
1 ¼ cups warm water
½ tsp salt
1 medium zucchini, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
1 red onion, sliced
2 tbsp. olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine masa, warm water, and salt. Mix until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions and roll into balls.
Preheat your comal over medium-high heat.
Place a ball of dough between two sheets of parchment paper inside tortilla press. Press down firmly to flatten into a thin tortilla.
Carefully transfer tortilla onto hot comal. Cook for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until lightly golden and cooked through. Repeat with remaining dough.
While tortillas are cooking, toss zucchini, peppers, and onion with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
Add veggies to comal and grill until tender and slightly charred, about 5-7 minutes.
Spoon veggie mixture onto warm tortillas, garnish with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges.

High-Temperature Cooking with Carbon Steel

When it comes to making perfect tortillas, high heat is essential. The process requires a cooking surface that can endure and evenly distribute intense heat to ensure each tortilla is cooked with the right balance of softness and crispness, making carbon steel ideal for the task.

Unlike other materials, carbon steel has an excellent ability to withstand high cooking temperatures without warping or degrading. It’s also extremely responsive to changes in temperature and is safe for use on all stovetops or even over an open flame.
