Blackened Dry Wings

I love blackened chicken. I make a mean blackened chicken Alfredo dish. Being that I’ve been on a major chicken wing kick lately (ever since discovering dry wings), I wanted to get that great blackened seasoning flavor on a wing. And I did. Oh, did I. Blackened dry wings are truly a great thing. Spicy, with hints of onion and garlic. Great eats. I found myself licking all the seasoning off my fingers and still craving more.

Blackened Dry Wings

More is Better

This is one time I was not shy with the seasoning on my blackened dry wings. I usually like to be a little light, just so I can still taste the chicken. But blackened seasoning has to be over-the-top. It can’t be done lightly or there just isn’t any point to it. After all, I love dry wings, and this is a great reason why. You get fantastically seasoned wings and you can taste it. Since there’s no sauce, the flavors aren’t buried away.

Also try some brown sugar curry wings. They’re different and delicious!

Bandit Wings

The best wings pack flavor into every bite, all the way through. These Bandit wings have flavor and then some. They are marinated overnight, picking up a light soy sauce flavor along with a hint of cumin and chili powder. Sort of southwestern meets Asian.

No Sauce Required

Bandit wings definitely do not require a sauce. You don’t want to hide the fantastic flavors. I did have a little blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping but I used it sparingly. Very sparingly.

Bandit Wings

Garnishes Are Optional

The original recipe called for garnishing these Bandit wings with black sesame seeds. Apparently they’re as rare as a unicorn here so I went with plain ole ‘normal’ sesame seeds. You get that bit of sesame seed flavor either way. You can order the seeds online, of course.

If you do decide to have a side sauce for dipping, I recommend these little cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings!

Jalapeno Peach Wings

I think it’s safe to say that I am addicted to chicken wings. They’re one of the most versatile dishes you can make. There are literally thousands of different sauces and seasonings for them. When I walk thru the grocery store I always look to see what is in season. Chances are, whatever it is, it can be made into a wing sauce. These jalapeno peach wings are a great example. That wonderful peach flavor with just a little spicy kick. Add a little sweetness and a nice vinegary snap and you end up with fantastic tasting wings.

Jalapeno Peach Wings

A Wonderful Fresh-Made Sauce

I wouldn’t hesitate to make an extra big batch of the sauce and use it to slather onto grilled or roasted chicken. Or brush it onto a rack of ribs just before pulling them off your smoker or grill. And it’s also fantastic on top of a chicken sandwich. The sauce is definitely not just for jalapeno peach wings but it sure is mighty good on them!

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Anchonero Hot BBQ Wings

One thing that I love about chicken wings is that there isn’t just one perfect combination of rub. Or sauce. There are an infinite number of great wings. These Anchonero Hot BBQ wings using AlbuKirky seasoning and sauce are just another example of a perfect combination of a spicy southwestern rub and sauce.

Ancho And Habanero Peppers

A little heat and a little sweet, you’d think I hadn’t eaten in a month when I devoured these Anchonero Hot BBQ wings. ‘Anchonero’  is a combination of ‘ancho’ and ‘habanero’ chiles. You get great chile pepper flavor in every bite, that’s for sure. I found the spice level to be great, not too hot but definitely not mild either.

Anchonero Hot BBQ Wings

Say ‘Hi’ to Kirk at AlbuKirky Seasonings

The Anchonero Hot BBQ I used on these wings comes from AlbuKirky Seasonings, in yep, you guessed it, Albuquerque, New Mexico. They have lots of southwestern-flavored rubs and sauces and jellies. Check them out, you’ll love them all!

Also try my ancho peach wings. They’re yummy too!

Wing Master Ranch Wing Sauce Wings

Whenever my wife and I are in the Gatlinburg, Tennessee, area we always make it a point to swing by a Pepper Palace store. They have several stores in the area, including a new one in Sevierville in an area called The Island. We also usually end up at one of the stores in downtown Gatlinburg. The stores always seem busy. People everywhere are enjoying samples of the hot sauces and salsas, from the hot to the mild. Me, I headed straight to the wing sauces and in particular, Pepper Palace’s own line of Wing Master sauces, including this Ranch wing sauce.

So, as soon as we returned from our trip I threw a few seasoned wings onto my Weber Performer grill outfitted with the Vortex insert. When the wings were done I tossed them with the Ranch sauce and dug in. The sauce is mellow with a hint of Ranch flavors. There’s a slight wing sauce kick, but again, not overwhelming. It’s a very enjoyable sauce, that won’t scare off anyone that doesn’t like hot hot wings.

Wing Master Ranch Wings

A Wonderfully Tasty Mellow Sauce

Pepper Palace has a wide range of sauces, from the extremely hot to the nice and mellow. The Ranch wing sauce is nice and mellow with not a lot of heat. I seasoned the wings with your standard Ranch dressing seasoning mix, which complimented the sauce flavors perfectly. And since I was on a Ranch theme, might as well have some Ranch salad dressing for dipping!

Get To A Pepper Palace and Soon!

Pepper Palace makes a ton of great sauces and seasonings, not just for wings. Find a store near you and spend an hour or two wandering the shelves. They always have an area where you can sample sauces and spices, too. It’s like flavor heaven. Instead, if there’s not one near you, take a road trip (it’ll be worth it) or order online.

Tons Of Garlic. Like You’d Expect.

As soon as we returned from our recent trip I threw a few seasoned wings onto my Weber Performer grill outfitted with the Vortex insert. When the wings were done I tossed them with the Mega Garlic sauce and dug in. The Mega Garlic wing sauce has, as you might guess, a tremendous garlic flavor. And not just a bit of garlic either. Hence the word ‘mega’ in the name. It’s loaded with garlic. Tons of it. Lovely, great yummy garlic. With a bit of a wing sauce kick, too. It’s a very enjoyable sauce. I definitely wish that I’d picked up a few more bottles!

Roasted Red Chile Wings

One of the things I love about being addicted to cooking and eating chicken wings is that 99 times out of 100, every new recipe I try is just absolutely fantastic. I dream about chicken wings. A lot. And these roasted red chile wings, well, they were crazy good and certainly dream-worthy.

I love chile peppers for the pepper flavor. And although I also love spicy, my number one love is that great pepper flavor, and the roasted red chile jelly from Albukirky Seasonings brings that and then some without scary spiciness.

Roasted Red Chile Wings

Great Rubs… And Sauces, Too!

The Albukirky Seasonings red chile BBQ rub (and also the green chile BBQ rub) has quickly become my go-to wing rub. It’s just perfect on wings (and other things, too, but I really, really enjoy it on wings). Combined with the red chile jelly (which I thinned just a bit) the roasted red chile wings made for a lunch that I won’t soon forget, but I will soon make again.

Also try my roasted green chile wings.

Grill Master Wings

Make yourself a big batch of these grill master wings. You’ll quickly realize that it doesn’t take a complicated recipe or a lot of ingredients to make fantastic wings. Simply seasoned wings are cooked until perfectly tender and moist with crunchy skin. The wings are then tossed gently in a wonderful sauce that has a slight hint of Asian-inspired flavor with a kiss of vinegar. On the side a slightly kicked-up dipping sauce that makes you think of classic Buffalo wings until you get another slight hint of soy sauce. Delicious!

Grill Master Wings

I like to keep it simple

You could use your favorite spice mixture when you make a batch of grill master wings, instead of ‘just’ salt and pepper when marinating the wings before cooking. I rather like keeping them simple and letting the tossing and dipping sauces shine. Heck, wings just seasoned with salt and pepper, cooked and served are just great as they are.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!
