If you like traditional Buffalo chicken wings, but are looking for a little twist on the classic, then I guarantee you will love Smokestack’s wings. I did. A lot. The wings are dusted with a wonderful rub that has a nice herbaceous side to it. It’s the sauce, though, that is the kicker, especially if you love Old Bay seasoning. And I do. A lot.
Amazing Flavor In Every Bite
If you’re a diehard lover of Old Bay seasoning, use it as the rub instead of the ingredients listed. You can’t get enough Old Bay, in my opinion. No matter whether you make the seasoning below or use Old Bay, Smokestack’s wings are out-of-this-world fantastic!
I like to make my spice, rub and seasoning mixes in big batches and keep them in large bottles with easy-to-pour shaker lids.
