Tyson Korean BBQ Frozen Wings

I’m usually a make-them-fresh wing kinda guy. But I am also open to trying just about any wing you can make, including the ones I find in bags or boxes in the freezer section of my local grocery. I don’t usually have really high expectations for them. Often the ‘wings’ are small or don’t have much meat. Or are inconsistent in size and taste. So I tend to be kinda pessimistic when I buy them. I have to say, though, that I was pretty impressed with these Tyson Korean BBQ frozen wings. Meaty? Yep. Tasty? Yep.

Tyson Korean BBQ Frozen Wings

They Look Like Wings!

It might seem strange to be surprised that these Tyson Korean BBQ frozen wings look like wings. I’ve had some weird looking frozen wings before. I open the bag or box and wonder what I’m looking at. Not these, though. They looked like flats and drummies. I could recognize them. So right off the bat, things were looking good!

And They’re Tasty, Too!

These wings are coated in a kinda tangy Korean BBQ sauce. And not sorta coated. Unlike some wings, these wings have flavor all around, everywhere. These wings are not spicy. A little sweet but there’s no heat. I thought the sauce was quite tasty actually. I’d happily buy a bottle of this sauce by itself and use it on my own wings!

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.

Spicy Dry Rub Hot Wings

There’s something about spicy dry-rubbed wings that I really love. It’s the subtle flavoring. Nothing overpowering. And you still taste the chicken. It’s easy to lose sight of the chicken when you drown them in sauce. That’s why I am more than happy with wings just tossed with seasoning, like these spicy dry rub hot wings. If you’ve never tried or even heard of dry wings, you’re missing out. Now’s your chance to have something amazing, something different than sauced wings.

Spicy Dry Rub Hot Wings

That Depth Of Flavor Thing

The seasoning on these spicy dry rub hot wings has the perfect combination of heat, with a hint of smoke. Smoked paprika is a great ingredient for cooking wings, especially if you deep fry them. It adds that ‘almost tastes grilled’ flavor without firing up the grill. I often add smoked paprika in place of sweet paprika for that reason.

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.

Old Bay Wings

My wife and I recently spent a few days in lovely Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania while attending a conference. I made sure I had my ‘to-eat’ list down before leaving, because one thing you can be sure of finding in Pittsburgh: good food. At the top of my list was dry chicken wings. No, not dry like ‘ewww, this meat is dry’. Dry as in the wings aren’t tossed in sauce after being cooked. Instead they are dusted with seasoning. The end result is almost like roasted chicken, but with much more pronounced flavors. Now that we are back home, I had to make some of the favorites that I devoured in Pittsburgh, like these Old Bay wings, which are just flat-out incredible.

Old Bay Wings

My Old-Bay Addiction Just Got Worse

It’s really hard to beat crispy chicken wings that have the great crab-boil flavor of Old Bay seasoning. I ate these wings like I hadn’t had anything to eat in weeks. They disappeared so fast your head would spin. They are fantastic.

I went with Ranch dressing for the dipping sauce for these Old Bay seasoning wings, but seriously, you can eat them dry, as-is, with no sauce. There’s no need to drown them in sauce, the flavor stands on its own.

Also try some fantastic Old Bay Buffalo wings!

Perdue Roasted Crispy Air Fryer Wings

Perdue Roasted Crispy Air Fryer wings really made me happy. I’m not usually impressed with frozen, prepared wings. They’re usually scrawny and tasteless. Not these. Not even close. These wings have a nice, roasted flavor. They also have a great crunchy batter. They cook up in no time in an air fryer (you can also prepare them in the oven). The aroma as they cook is dream-worthy. And perhaps best of all, they are not scrawny! Nope, these are meaty, tender, juicy, tasty, crunchy wings! Score!

I was wrong, and I’m sorry

I didn’t have high expectations for these wings and I was wrong about them. If you like battered wings and are in a hurry, you can’t beat them. Eat them straight out of the air fryer. Dunk them in a little Buffalo wing sauce and Ranch dressing. Or blue cheese. Or Eat them plain. Whatever works for you!

Perdue Roasted Crispy Air Fryer Wings

Cook time

The packaging for Perdue Roasted Crispy Air Fryer Wings says to cook them at 400 F for 16 minutes. Maybe it’s just my air fryer (which is a 1700 watt model), but I found that 14 minutes is better. The wings may not seem crunchy after the shorter time, but they do get crunchier as they cool a little. I thought they came out great. Any longer and they start to get a little dark. Not burned, just dark.

Perdue makes hot ‘n spicy and a lemon pepper versions of these wings. Try them. You’ll love them too!

Pepper Palace Watermelon Barbecue Sauce Wings

This is why you always have to hit up the sampling bar when you go to a Pepper Palace store. I’ve been to tons of their stores, and I always spend a good bit of time sampling. That’s where I ran across this barbecue sauce. Yes, barbecue. Of course I thought ‘wings’. Because I knew that Pepper Palace watermelon barbecue sauce wings would be different and fantastic. Fantastically different.

Pepper Palace Watermelon Barbecue Wings

Watermelon And Wings. It Works.

Pepper Palace watermelon barbecue sauce wings have just the right amount of watermelon flavor. Oh sure, you get a traditional BBQ sauce flavor too, and it’s balanced perfectly with the watermelon. These wings are a totally different change from your usual Buffalo-inspired wings.

Of course, this sauce is also fantastic on anything grilled, from ribs to pulled pork to whole roasted chicken.

Remember that if you have to refrigerate your open bottle of sauce, let it sit out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before using. You don’t want to ‘shock’ hot, just-cooked wings with a cold sauce.

Kinder’s Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

Ahhhhh. Perfect. This is what a barbecue sauce is meant for. Wings. Oh yeah, I know, you put it on pulled pork, grilled chicken legs, ribs and even burgers. But on wings…. yum! Kinder’s honey BBQ sauce wings hit the spot and then some for me. The sauce is a nice traditional tomato-based sauce. It has a hint of smokiness, but just a hint. It has a nice sweetness, but not too much. It’s not candy, just a great BBQ sauce that loves to be tossed onto some hot-out-of-the-cooker wings.

Kinder's Honey BBQ Wings

Perfect Sweet BBQ Flavor

You can serve Kinder’s Honey BBQ sauce wings at a party and not worry about anyone complaining about the heat. If you’re seeking out a bit of spiciness, though, Kinder’s makes a spicy version of this BBQ sauce too. So, cover all of your bases and serve them both! Now you know that everyone will be happy!

This sauce is also great for dipping nuggets.

Kinder’s Honey Hot BBQ Sauce Wings

Maybe you’ve heard of ‘sweet heat’ and just aren’t sure what that is. Or maybe you have heard of it, love it, and are craving more of it. Either way, Kinder’s Honey Hot BBQ sauce wings are here to do one thing and that’s make you happy. The honey brings that wonderful natural sweetness. A little jalapeno brings just a kiss of spiciness. A hint of smoke all in a tomato-based sauce makes you think ‘backyard BBQ’. This is a great BBQ sauce that’s even better on wings.

Kinder's Honey Hot BBQ Wings

Stir it Up

Sometimes I toss my Kinder’s Honey Hot BBQ sauce wings in sauce. Sometimes I serve the sauce on the side (I like it warmed just slightly). But one thing I don’t do is toss battered deep-fried wings in sauce. I don’t want to lose that wonderful crusty coating. So if I’m serving deep-fried wings I either serve the sauce separately or I stir the wings gently after drizzling them with sauce using a rubber spatula.

June Moon Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

I had been on a super-vinegary, mega-spicy wing sauce kick for a while. I needed a break. June Moon honey BBQ sauce rescued me, treating me to delicious sweetness and fantastic flavor. A wonderful tomato-based sauce, these perfectly-sauced wings made me very happy. No heat here, just the right balance of flavors and a hint of smokiness. This is the ideal sauce to serve your friends. Not every wing sauce has to be vinegar-based and fiery hot. Sometimes it’s ok to have a little sweet.

June Moon Honey BBQ Wings

Sweet BBQ Goodness

Oh sure, June Moon honey BBQ sauce would be great on other foods. Like grilled burgers. Or ribs. Roasted whole chicken. Or serve it as a dipping sauce for something like chicken tenders or nuggets. Things like that. But I’m not doing that. Nope, I’m keeping this sauce all to myself and I’m putting it all over my wings. I can do that. I’m a grown-up. Well, sort of.

Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Smokin’ Hickory BBQ Sauce Wings

You cannot go wrong with a good ole BBQ sauce and wings. Sure, I’ll take Buffalo wings any time, anywhere. But every once in a while I like that backyard-BBQ-inspired flavor on my wings. A little smoky flavor. A little sweetness. Slightly tangy. This time I grabbed a bottle of sauce with Guy Fieri’s face on it. Now, usually celebrity-chef sauces don’t impress me much. But this one did. Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Smokin’ Hickory BBQ sauce wings were fantastic thanks to this sauce.

Guy Fieri's Flavortown Smokin' Hickory BBQ Wings

Nice Everything.

Not too sweet. Not too thick. Not too smoky. Not too thin. Not too anything. This sauce is spot-on great. These wings were finger-lickingly delicious. And darn right, this sauce is great on anything BBQ too. Squeeze some on your ribs next time. Or nachos. And yes, a baked potato. Anything that needs a sauce, BBQ sauce is gonna work on it. Especially this one.

Also try some Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ sauce wings! They’re BBQ wings with a kick!

Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning Dry Wings

Please don’t tell anyone this. But I ate Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning dry wings three days in a row. In my defense, this seasoning is absolutely delicious. A little garlic and a really good amount of cayenne and a few other good things come together in what is one of the best wing seasonings around. Heck yeah, you can use it on fries or baked potatoes or whatever, but not me. I’m saving it all for wings.

Frank's RedHot Original Seasoning Dry Wings

The Perfect Dry Wing

I prefer to make my Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning dry wings in my air fryer. First, it’s easy. Second, they come out fantastic. I season the wings a little before cooking. Then when they’re done, and while they’re still crazy hot, I really season them. Like a lot. More is better. Then I burn my tongue with the first bite because I have no patience. They’re so good that I cannot wait like a normal person for them to cool off.

The folks over at Frank’s RedHot know what they are doing. These are some great wings. Also try their mild Buffalo wings!
