McCormick Air Fryer Buffalo Dry Wings

Wow. Just wow. I was wandering around the grocery store when I hit the spice and seasonings aisle. There in a lil red box was some McCormick Air Fryer Buffalo wing seasoning mix. I thought, well, heck. That sounds good. Why not give it a shot? Well, by golly, I was super duper happy with these wings. Un-sauced, they are packed with garlic and traditional Buffalo flavors, with just a slight bit of a kick. And they’re perfectly crunchy! This is why I love air fryer wings. My air fryer never fails me!

McCormick Air Fryer Buffalo Wings

They Smell As Great As They Taste

I couldn’t get over just how great these wings smelled as they cooked in my air fryer. The McCormick Buffalo Air Fryer Buffalo seasoning not only tastes great, it makes your mouth water in anticipation while the wings are getting done. But, don’t over-cook the wings. The seasoning will get a bit dark if you let the wings go too long.

  • Transfer wings to the air fryer basket. Do not overlap (cook in batches if necessary).

Kinder’s Habanero Pineapple Air Fryer Dry Wings

These Kinder’s Habanero Pineapple air fryer dry wings are kinda different. The seasoning has a bit of a sweetness to it. A bit of tropical flavor. Oh then comes the heat. Good heat. A nice stingy heat. Each bite is a ‘welcome to the islands’ kiss. With a rough edge to it. These are great dry wings that are a bit different than the dry wings you usually get or make.

Kinder's Habanero Pineapple Air Fryer Dry Wings

Season. Cook. Season.

I like to double-season my Kinder’s Habanero Pineapple air fryer dry wings. First, I give my fresh wings a bit of a seasoning before going into the air fryer. It’s like a dry marinade in a way. You can even let the wings set for up to 2 hours, absorbing that flavor, before cooking. Then, after they come out of the fryer all golden brown with crispy skin, I toss them in more seasoning. While they are still hot. That’s when the oils are still on the surface of the wings, ready and willing to take on more seasoning. That’s when you hit them with more. Oh yeah!

Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana Hot Sauce Wings

I love it when I find a new hot sauce that’s just a bit different than the rest. I crave flavor in my hot sauce, and not just heat. And I love making any hot sauce into a sauce for wings. These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings are delicious with just the right heat level for me. Not overly hot, and not boring, either. These are fingerlickingly-good wings!

Kinder's Creamy Louisiana Hot Wings

Make Wings. Make Sauce. And Make Yourself Happy.

This wasn’t complicated. I threw some wings into the air fryer. Or the deep-fryer. I don’t remember. It’s not really about that. I just needed some cooked-up wings. Meanwhile I made the sauce. Two ingredients. That’s it. I went for a hotter sauce, but as you can see in the recipe below, you can adjust the heat by changing the ratio of butter to hot sauce. I tossed the wings in the sauce, sat down, and got to eatin’. And I was happy. Very happy. That’s wing success right there! These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings did not disappoint!

Holy Garlic Dry Wings

The fine folks over at Fire and Smoke Society ain’t messin’ around. When they say that this all-purpose blend is blessed by Garlic Lovers you know they’re telling the truth. But these Holy Garlic dry wings aren’t just about garlic. Charcoal, chiles, brown sugar and plenty of ground black pepper join the party to make for a fantastic seasoning for wings, be they dry or wet. Me, I went dry so I could enjoy every bite of chicken and the seasoning without ‘fighting’ a sauce.

Holy Garlic! Wings

More Garlic Flavor is More Better

My Holy Garlic dry wings were made in an air fryer. You can cook them any way you want, just don’t be shy with the spices. I put a little of the delicious seasoning on the wings before cooking the wings. Then when they were cooked to perfection, I went to town with some more seasoning. The wonderful aroma of garlic filled the house. It was time to chow down on some delicious wings! And I did!

Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings

If you’re not a fan of oven-cooked wings, these Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch wings are definitely going to make a fan out of you and quick. They did me. I’m usually a fried wing kinda guy. But these wings not only came out juicy and crazy flavorful, the skins were perfectly crunchy to boot. These are very addicting wings and they’re so easy there’s no excuse to not make them. Often.

Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings

Flavor-Packed Baked Wings

The packet of seasoning for Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings says it makes 2 pounds of wings. But it also says that for more flavor, use only 1 pound of wings. That’s the route I went. I figured, why would I want less flavor? Well, flavor is exactly what I got. So I recommend going the 1 pound route.

Of course, if you want to serve your wings with a dipping sauce, you’ll have to use Hidden Valley Ranch dressing!

Dan-O’s Original Seasoning Dry Wings

Have you seen those machines you can buy to make your house smell good? I always look at them and scratch my head. Why do you need one of those when all you need to make your home smell outrageously fantastic is to make some Dan-O’s Original Seasoning dry wings? And as an added bonus, after you get the homestead smellin’ good, you can enjoy some delicious wings! How much more of a win-win could you need? Or want?

Dan-O's Original Seasoning Dry Wings

Herby Deliciousness

Dan-O’s Original Seasoning was invented for poultry. Rosemary. Garlic. Good stuff that you might normally find on a roast turkey or chicken. Well, don’t forget the wings! These Dan-O’s Original Seasoning dry wings are what roasted wings should be. Crispy skin. Wonderful herby flavors. Moist, tender meat.

A Twist On My Usual Dry Wings

I’m a huge fan of dry wings. It’s hard for me to resist super-seasoned wings with that great crunchy skin. Usually, I season my wings before cooking and then again after for extra flavor. For these wings, however, I go with one good, healthy seasoning beforehand. That’s it. No post-cook seasoning required or needed. These are great wings without it.

Buffalo Wild Wings Teriyaki Wing Sauce Wings

Oh sure, I love spicy, hot chicken wings. But I’m also a big fan of more savory wings. In fact, the Buffalo Wild Wings Teriyaki wing sauce wings are my wife’s and my favorite. We always order them (though she often opts for the boneless wings while I go for the bone-in versions).

A Long-Time Favorite Of Ours

Buffalo Wild Wings (of course) sells their sauces in their stores. They’re quite reasonably priced, and when you order 3 (or in my case, a lot more than 3) you can get them in this fancy carrying box. I think all of their flavors are available to go, except the current ‘special’ sauce, which is unfortunate because the flavor-of-the-month not too long ago was a crazy good chipotle cherry sting sauce. I’d drink that stuff with a straw. So go get you some Buffalo Wild Wings Teriyaki wing sauce today!

Bayou Bourre Louisiana Boil Wings

I’ll never look at a bottle of hot sauce the same way again. The fine folks over at Bayou Gotham changed my world when they came out with Bayou Bourré Louisiana Boil sauce. Heat-wise, this sauce has just a little nice gentle kick to it. But flavor-wise, this sauce is insanely great. I devoured my Bayou Bourre Louisiana Boil wings in no time at all.

Bayou Bourre Louisiana Boil Wings

Crab Boil Heaven

I am a crab boil addict. I love the flavors. This sauce brings all that. It’s a wonderful combination of spiciness (but not super spicy at all!), citrus, onions, celery, corn and potatoes. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s all in these Bayou Bourre Louisiana Boil wings. You see it all in the bottle. It looks good just sitting there. It’s like flavor art in a bottle.

Butter Up. Or Don’t.

I usually mix a little melted butter with my hot sauce before saucing on my wings. It’s what I call my Two Ingredient wing sauce. Pretty sneaky naming, huh? Well, sometimes you run into a hot sauce where you may not want to do this. Bayou Bourré Louisiana Boil sauce is a good example. So here’s what I recommend. Taste the sauce. If you love it out of the bottle (and you will), just pour it on your wings. No need to add butter. But if you want a little buttery flavor (ala classic Buffalo wing flavors), add a little. Not a lot. Heat it and melt it and stir. Taste. Good? Put it on your wings. Want more butter? Go for it.

There’s no wrong here. This sauce makes for amazing wings no matter if you add butter or not.

Air Fryer Hooter’s Hot Wings

Oh yes! Give me a plate (or two) or air fryer Hooter’s hot wings and I am one happy guy! Sure, the traditional method involves deep frying and that’s the way to do up the classic if you have the time, deep fryer and oil. If not, the air fryer makes for some mighty respectable wings that are just hot enough, just crunchy enough, and are oh so delicious! These wings are the way wings should be, and they’re crazy easy to make!

Air Fryer Hooter's Hot Wings

You Never Forget Your First Wings

Air fryer Hooter’s hot wings take me right back to the first time I visited a Hooter’s. I went to the original store in Clearwater, FL and ordered up a big ole plate of wings and proceeded to get at it! Man, did I ever fall in love with wings right there and then. And so here I am, many years later, still enjoying Hooter’s great wings! Stop by one of the restaurants to purchase some breading and sauce (and heck, get some wings while you’re there). You can also order them online.

Instructions

  • Place wings into a resealable container. Add 1 tablespoon of the breading. Seal and shake to coat. Open the container and check for breading that isn't adhering to the wings. If there isn't any (i.e. it's all stuck to the wings!) you might want to add bit more breading, seal, and shake again. If there's a bit of breading in the container that isn't stuck to the wings, you're good to go as as much is stuck as is gonna stick!
  • Place the sealed wings into the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 400 F.
  • Lightly spray all sides of the wings with non-stick spray.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
  • Cook wings for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and cook another 10 minutes.
  • Remove wings from fryer and place in a bowl. Toss with the sauce. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
  • Serve with dressing and carrots and celery.

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!

Note: The full 30 minute cook time is for large, meaty wings. If your wings are a bit thinner (er… scrawny) back the times down to 10/10/4 minutes instead of 12/12/6 minutes.
