McCormick Grill Mates Nashville Hot Chicken Dry Wings

About half the wings I make and eat are ‘dry’. Just cooked up (often in an air fryer) and then tossed in a seasoning. Sometimes a lot of seasoning. Sometimes not so much. No sauce in sight. But they are always good. Like these McCormick Grill Mates Nashville Hot Chicken dry wings. This seasoning is the perfect blend of chili pepper, paprika, brown sugar, onion and garlic. It has a nice kick to it. It’s not mellow but it’s not overpowering either. The flavor is fantastic, and certainly reminiscent of the namesake chicken. These are great dry wings.

Great Flavor And Kick In A Dry Wing

I’m not shy with the seasoning when I make my McCormick Grill Mates Nashville Hot Chicken dry wings. Well, at least not when I make them for myself. I like a good bit of heat in every bite. I’d go a bit lighter on it if I was serving them to friends or family, specially if they say they like a little kick but not a painful amount.

Got Seasonings?

You have to take care of your dry seasonings. In return, they’ll take care of you by always being ready the next time you need them! Protect seasonings from the four main enemies of flavor: heat, light, air, and moisture. Never store them above the stove or oven, where steam and temperature swings cause caking and quick degradation. If you have a problem with high humidity causing your dry seasonings to cake, try adding a silica gel packet to the containers to remove moisture.

My Trusty Companion

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!

I prefer to season my wings immediately after cooking them. The seasoning will stick to the surface of the hot wings better than if you wait until they cool off.

Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon Wings

This is one decidedly different wing sauce. When I made a batch of Terrapin Ridge Farms hot pepper bacon wings I knew I was in for a total detour from the usual bottled wing sauce. For starters, this sauce looks different. You can see the real, fresh ingredients inside. You can see peppers. And you can see tomato sauce. It almost looks like a salsa or even a jam, but not as thick. That first bite proved this isn’t the usual sauce. Smoky bacon, plenty of roasted red peppers, a very slight bit of jalapeno spiciness and tomato goodness are the stars of the show here.

I Got It At Buc-ee’s

I picked up a bottle of this sauce at a Buc-ee’s in Sevierville, TN. I’m always on the lookout for a wing sauce I haven’t tried, and these Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon wings are a good reason why. There’s no point in getting bored with the sauces you keep using over and over. Branch out. There are a ton of great sauces out there, like this one!

This sauce would be crazy good on grilled or smoke ribs.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.
