Blonde Beard’s Rooster Dry Wings

Blonde Beard’s is known for their wing sauces. But they also sell a wing seasoning, known as Rooster Dry Rub. It’s a wonderful combination of Cajun flavors and roasted garlic. It has a very low heat level so you don’t worry about scaring anyone off. Blonde Beard’s Rooster dry wings are fantastic and if you’ve not tried dry wings, this will make a believer out of you with the first bite!

The bottle says ‘wing rub’ but I can ensure you that’s not all it’s good on. It’s really good on wings. I love the roasted garlic flavor most. It’s a different flavor for wings, for me at least, and reminds me of roasted whole chicken (hint: roast a chicken and put this rub on it and you’ll thank me!).

More Is Definitely Better

I prefer to season my ‘dry’ wings after they are cooked, especially if the seasoning I’m using might char a bit when exposed to high heat. I found that to be the case with Rooster Dry Rub when I applied it to wings before cooking them in an air fryer. Blonde Beard’s Rooster dry wings were much better when seasoned after cooking instead. And don’t be shy with it either. It’s really good and you really can’t go wrong with adding more. You can go wrong with not adding enough!

Like I said, Blonde Beard’s claim-to-fame is their sauces (look at them! Yowsa!) but don’t overlook their rub!

Make sure you seal your wing seasonings well after using. You don’t want any moisture sneaking in. This dust comes in shaker bottles that seal perfectly!

Alabama White Sauce BBQ Wings

Alabama white sauce is the kind of BBQ sauce that I thought was a bit odd at first. I love mayonnaise, but in a BBQ sauce? Huh? Vinegar, yeah, I get that. But the mayonnaise threw me, even though I’m a mayo-holic. But like a good lil trooper, I tried it and boy did I love it. Do love it. I’ve made my own a few times, but I recently discovered Duke’s Alabama style white southern dipping sauce and it’s one that I really really like, so that’s what I put on my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings!

Alabama White Sauce BBQ Wings

Go easy on the sauce

I like my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings just lightly sauced. Too much and I start to think I’m having potato salad. Or a creamy macaroni salad. The sauce has a great flavor, but there’s no need to go crazy with it. That’s just my opinion, of course. You can always put some sauce on the side for dipping your chicken wings.

Air Fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Seasoning Dry Wings

Yer derned tootin’ I was heavy handed when I seasoned these air fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo seasoning dry wings. I love this seasoning. I am never shy with how much I use. These wings made for the perfect lunch. Dry wings rock. If you’ve never tried them, you should. The right seasoning on a wing can make for a wonderful eating experience. I’ll put dry wings up against any wet wings any day of the week. They’re both great.

Bring the Flavor. And More.

These air fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo seasoning dry wings start out with a bit of a heat when you take a bite. Right up front. Oh, it’s not overly spicy. Not at all. Just a nice little kick to let you know it’s there.

Then comes the flavor. And lots of it. Garlic. Cayenne. And I swear butter. This is like having a Buffalo wing without having sauce all over your hands and face. Instead, well.. you’ll have seasoning all over your hands and face! Still a win win!

If you want (and you do), don’t be afraid to triple-season your wings. Once before cooking (just a little). Then toss them in more seasoning after cooking (a good dose). And finally, sprinkle them with some more (another good dose). You’ll thank me!

  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 350 F.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!).

  • Flip the wings and cook another 12 minutes.

Air Fryer Buc-ee’s Barbecue Sauce Wings

It was crazy!

I’ve been to two different Buc-ee’s. Both times the experience was almost surreal. The sheer number of people almost overwhelmed me. There was merchandise everywhere. There were packaged snacks and fountain drinks everywhere. More importantly, there was food everywhere. Good-looking, just-made great smelling food.

The brisket station

I flowed through the crowd and went to my destination: the brisket sandwich station. I’d heard stories, I’d read the rumors. They chop the brisket right out of the smoker (after yelling ‘brisket is on the table!’) and sauce it with Buc-ee’s barbecue sauce. I gotta tell ya, it was one good sandwich. I immediately grabbed a bottle of the sauce and knew what I was making when I got back home: air fryer Buc-ee’s barbecue wings.

Air Fryer Buc-ee's Barbecue Wings

Just right!

These air fryer Buc-ee’s barbecue wings were fantastic. The sauce has just the right consistency for wings. Not too thick and not too thin. Perfect for sticking to my wings. It’s lightly sweet but definitely not overly so. There’s a light hint of smokiness, a little hickory to give it that traditional ketchup-based BBQ sauce flavor. These wings are finger-licking good and then some. And easy to make to boot!

To find a bottle of the sauce visit your nearest Buc-ee’s. And take my advice. Pick up a bunch of it, it’s great on anything BBQed!

Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy Sauce Wings

Never has a bottle of hot sauce disappeared so fast than when I made a few batches of Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy sauce wings. I love this sauce so much I could not get enough. The wings? Simplicity defined: seasoned wings, cooked. The sauce? Easy too. Just hot sauce and a little butter. The result? Absolutely delicious. The sauce is a Mexican hot sauce with just a touch of heat but oh, the flavors. So good. This tomato-based sauce is different than any other sauce you’ve had.

Acapulco Joe's Hot Sassy Sauce Wings

The Story Behind The Sauce

Acapulco Joe’s was a well-loved Mexican restaurant here in Indianapolis. The restaurant is long gone, but fortunately the sauces live on. Normally used as a table sauce for tacos, chips… anything, it is of course my goal (and my duty!) to use everything on wings. Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy Sauce wings make me smile. Not just because they taste great (and they do!) but because it’s a great example of how a non-wing sauce makes for a great wing sauce!

It may seem odd, but I thought ‘spaghetti’ when I first tried this sauce. Well, after that I thought tacos but the tomato and spices made me think it’d be great on pasta. Now, I just need to order more!

5 Salt 5 Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings

Oh, me. These 5 Salt and 5 Pepper air fryer dry wings are why I am such a big fan of un-sauced wings. Sure, you can make these and still sauce them. And you should. But do yourself a favor and try them dry. They’ll make a believer out of you.

Packed with flavor

The 5 Salt and 5 Pepper seasoning from Kroger is packed with flavor. So, you ask yourself, really? Are there really 5 different kinds of salt and 5 different kinds of pepper in it? Yes! Here’s proof. The salts: sea, pink Himalayan, Cypress white, French grey, and fleur de sel. The peppers: cayenne, chili, black, red and green bell. All combine for a decidedly different taste that hits every part of your tongue. And makes it tingle!

5 Salt 5 Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings

Be heavy-handed!

Do not be shy with the seasoning when it comes time to make your 5 Salt 5 Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings. Seasoning them good and let them dry brine in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking them. That’ll help get some of fantastic salty pepperiness deep inside, making each bite completely incredible. Afterward, season them even more after they’re cooked up crispy hot.

Andy’s Mild Chicken Breading Wings

Easy. Flavorful. Crunchy. That’s why we’re here today. That’s why we’re making Andy’s Mild Chicken Breading wings. We’re not here because we want some huge list of ingredients and a complicated list of steps to make wings. We want simple but we want results. I keep this fry mix on hand for the times I just want great, uncomplicated, deep-fried wings.

Andy's Mild Chicken Breading Wings

Straight Up. Or With A Twist.

I like to eat my Andy’s Mild Chicken Breading wings ‘dry’…. and I like them ‘wet’. Dry wings, served without any sauce, let me enjoy that great seasoning. It’s really good stuff, and worthy of enjoying on its own. But there’s also nothing wrong with having them dipped in sauce (‘wet’), either. Not tossed in sauce, though. I’m not a fan of tossing deep-fried battered wings in sauce for two reasons. One, all that tossing knocks off that crunchy delicious coating! And two, the wet sauce makes the coating soggy! So I usually dip my wings instead.

For other ways to sauce your wings, check out my huge guide to saucing wings. Trust me, you’ll find a way that’s your favorite!

For the Wings

  • Rinse the wings. Drain well but do not dry the wings.
  • Add the wings to the fry mix and turn to coat well. I like to press the wings into the mix several times to make sure I don't get any 'bald spots'.
  • Heat 3" of oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350 F.
  • Working in batches if necessary, fry the wings 8-10 minutes or until they reach 165 F. Transfer to a rack over a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve.

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

Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ Sauce Wings

It’s BBQ wing time! One of my favorite things to have is wings coated in BBQ sauce. I’m not hung up on only saucing them with bottles that say ‘wing sauce’ on the front. BBQ sauces make for perfect wings! Like these Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ sauce wings. This is one great sauce. And it’s really great on wings. It has a hint of smoke. It’s a little sweet but has a nice vinegar tang. The heat level isn’t too high, but you’ll notice it.

Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ Sauce Wings

Stick-To-Your Wings Good Stuff

This sauce isn’t messing around. It sticks to your wings. That’s good news. No one wants a ‘sauce pool’ on the bottom of their plate. Make some wings and sauce them up with some Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ sauce and you’ll be happy. Just squirt it on and toss them (gently) until nice and coated.

Heck yeah this sauce is great on burgers, roasted chicken, ribs too! And pulled pork! Don’t tell anyone, but I also like to dip potato chips into it! Yummy!

Frank’s RedHot Korean BBQ Sauce Wings

I was trying to be good. I was trying to cut back a little on my bottled wing sauce purchases. At least until I reduced the number of open bottles of sauces in my ‘wing fridge’. Well, that idea didn’t last long. I saw a bottle of Frank’s RedHot Korean BBQ sauce at the store and had to grab it. I had to make wings. So I did. And boy, were they ever great! A little sweet. A little heat. Pear juice, soy sauce and other goodies come together in a sauce that is not only great on wings, it’s perfect on darned near anything grilled. Or fried for that matter.

Frank’s RedHot Korean BBQ Sauce Wings

Air-Fried. Deep-Fried. Anyway You Want It.

First time I made wings sauced with Frank’s RedHot Korean BBQ sauce, I did it using some air-fried wings. They only take about 30 minutes to make. Perfect for my lunch-time meal. The sauce was the winner here. I didn’t do much of anything to the wings other than cook them. I didn’t want any fancy seasoning ‘fighting’ this sauce. It’s crazy yummy. Why mess with it?

The second time, I went deep-fried on the wings. But again, I kept it simple. An easy coating meant to just crisp up the wings. No fru-fru seasonings. And again, great wings were enjoyed!

Southern-Style Fried Chicken Wings

Different. I should’ve expected different. I was using a store-bought fry mix after all. And for good reason too. I love them. Sure, they’re great on chicken thighs, chicken breasts, pork chops, seafood and whatever. But I love them for making wings, too. These southern-style fried chicken wings use a mix from Calhoun Bend Mills. It’s a great mix, too. It sticks great. It’s easy to use. And it’s way, way tasty good. Oh, and crunchy too!

Southern-Style Fried Chicken Wings

Sweet Wings

Calhoun Bend Mills Miss Haddie’s chicken fry mix is on the sweet side. You’ll get notes of brown sugar (and I swear maple) as soon as you open the package. And boy do you ever get it while the wings are frying. I instantly started thinking pancakes… and then I thought wait! Wings and waffles! Shoot, I should make that next!

I wouldn’t toss these southern-style fried chicken wings with sauce. Instead, if you want it, serve some sauce on the side for dipping. I just filled a little cup with Buffalo wing sauce. That heat (yeah, I used hot) helps offset the sweetness of the wings. It’s totally optional, but kinda nice to have something to offset the sweet.

Instructions

For the Wings

  • Rinse the wings. Drain well but do not dry the wings.
  • Add the wings to the fry mix and turn to coat well. I like to press the wings into the mix several times to make sure I don't get any 'bald spots'.
  • Heat 3" of oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350 F.
  • Working in batches if necessary, fry the wings 8-10 minutes or until they reach 165 F. Transfer to a rack over a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve.

Notes

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