Fire and Smoke Society Honey Garlic Dry Wings

I’m not a complicated guy. I don’t need some big ole 40-ingredient wing sauce to make me happy. Nope, I’m perfectly fine with a perfectly cooked wing tossed in a perfectly good seasoning. Like these Fire and Smoke Society Honey Garlic dry wings. It doesn’t really matter how the wings are actually cooked. For me, for lunch, it means an air fryer for 20-30 minutes. Then I season them. Big time. And then I get crunchy wings with a wonderful garlicky flavor that is lightly sweet. Oh and there’s some herbs in there too for a great balance! A little paprika, pepper and thyme. The perfect combination for wings!

Don’t Be Shy!

There’s one thing to always remember when it comes to making dry wings. Go big on the seasoning. Even when you think you’ve added enough, add more. And do it right as the wings come off whatever you cooked them in. Get ’em while they are hot!

Honey Garlic Dry Wings

Check Your Pantry

These Fire and Smoke Society Honey Garlic dry wings are proof that a bottle of seasoning doesn’t have to say ‘for wings’ on it for it to be great on wings! I bought this seasoning originally for seasoning full-sized chickens before they’d end up on a rotisserie or in my oil-less fryer. I knew instantly that it’d be great on wings, too. And I was more than right! These are what dry wings are about!

So go to your pantry and see what you might have on hand that’d be great on wings. Chances are, no matter what you bought it for originally, that bottled seasoning is great on wings too!

Wing Commander Fierce Dry Wings

I only needed to glance at the contents of the bottle of seasoning to know I would soon be making a batch of Wing Commander Fierce dry wings using a seasoning from the Fire & Smoke Society. The mix contains roasted garlic (a big favorite of mine) and tons of fantastic black pepper. And just a bit of cayenne for heat and a touch of brown sugar for sweetness.

Wing Commander Fierce Dry Wings

A Great Seasoning That Checks All The Boxes

The heat from these Wing Commander Fierce dry wings hits you later but it’s not super-spicy by any stretch. It has a slight southwestern feel to it. It’s amazing on just-cooked wings. You can also use it to season your wings before cooking. When deep-frying you add it to your coating. Grilling? Let the wings dry marinade in it for an hour first.

I’m a huge fan of the combination of black pepper and roasted garlic, so this seasoning checked all of the boxes for me. This seasoning is also fantastic on grilled burgers and steaks.

Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle Dry Wings

Wow. Just wow. I’ve had my share of different flavors of dry wings but these Kinder’s black cherry chipotle wings are different and then some. Tart and sweet, I could not stop eating them. No sauce required. No Ranch or blue cheese dressing required. Just good ole wings and seasoning. I used an air fryer but you can cook them any way you like. Just make sure to load them up on the seasoning because they are delicious.

Head To The Spice Aisle

I found this seasoning near a bunch of other seasonings in the store. It wasn’t the ‘Wing Section’ of the store either. This is why it pays to look around and think to yourself ‘would that be good on wings?’. The answer is often yes. It was a definite ‘yes’ when it came to these Kinder’s black cherry chipotle dry wings.

Surprise!

If you’re looking to get some looks of happiness and surprise, serve these wings next time you’re watching the big game with friends. They’ll be more than pleasantly surprised at just how good and different they are.

Kinder’s also makes a black cherry BBQ sauce. It’s great on wings too.

Buffalo Wild Wings Chipotle BBQ Dry Wings

Sometimes I like to sit back and enjoy a big ole batch of dry wings. No sauce on them. Maybe some Ranch or blue cheese for dipping. But mostly just well-seasoned good ole wings. Like these Buffalo Wild Wings Chipotle BBQ dry wings. This is some of the best wing dust I’ve had. It has a hint of smoke and a hint of spiciness. A touch of sweetness.

Kosmos Q Nashville Hot Chicken Wing Dust Wings

Kosmos Q Nashville Hot Chicken Wing Dust brings the heat and the flavor to wings. It really make dry wings something special. A little paprika, garlic, Parmesan cheese and oh yes, cayenne pepper, come together to make the perfect wing seasoning. Like it spicy? Add more. Like a little less heat? Apply sparingly.

Kosmos Q Nashville Hot Chicken Wing Dust Wings

Great Heat In A Dry Wing

As with all of the great Kosmos Q wing dust flavors, a little Kosmos Q Nashville Hot Chicken Wing Dust goes a long ways. I recommend that you go a bit light with it on your first wing. Give it a taste and go from there, deciding if you want more or not. I found myself wanting it more and more, so yep, I added more and more. You can get addicted to that tasty burn.

Make sure you seal your wing seasonings well after using. You don’t want any moisture sneaking in. Kosmos Q comes in quality pouches that seal perfectly!

Buffalo Wild Wings Desert Heat Dry Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings Desert Heat wing seasoning makes for some of the best dry wings you’ve ever had. Sure, you can use it as a seasoning on wet wings too. I’m such a fan of dry wings that that’s how I prefer it. Time and time again. A little (ok, a good bit of) spiciness combines with a wonderful smokiness that makes these wings fantastic.

Buffalo Wild Wings Desert Heat Dry Wings

More is Better

I season my Buffalo Wild Wings Desert Heat Dry Wings before I cook them and after they’re done. If I’m deep frying the wings I’ll mix the seasoning in with the flour (or whatever coating I’m using) mixture first. I am pretty heavy-handed with the seasoning before and after the wings are cooked. I really like this stuff.

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!

Also try Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo dry wings. Great Buffalo flavor in a dry wing!

Croix Valley Parmesan Garlic Dry Wings

Oh, wings, glorious wings! I am a big fan of dry (un-sauced) wings. Croix Valley Parmesan Garlic wing seasoning takes dry wings to a whole new place. The spices aren’t overwhelming. You get the garlic. You get the Parmesan. And you get wings. The flavors don’t hide the fact that you’re still eating wings. Heck, if you can’t taste the wings what’s the point? This stuff is fantastic. They made my nice-and-crispy air fryer wings something special.

Croix Valley Parmesan Garlic Dry Wings

Great Flavor In Every Bite

I cannot say enough how much I loved Croix Valley Parmesan Garlic dry wings seasoning. I cannot wait to use it on things, too. A whole roasted chicken would be fantastic sprinkled with this dust. Oh, and someone suggested that I try shrimp the same way! The combination of garlic and Parmesan would be fantastic on shrimp or popcorn! What great ideas!

If I am serving my wings with Ranch or blue cheese or some other sauce, I use these little dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables. And they’re easy to clean, too!

Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar Dry Wings

The bottle says right on it, in big letters, ‘Salt and Vinegar’. It’s no fib, either. No false advertising there. Nothing but truth. Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar wing seasoning brings the salt and vinegar. Don’t open it and stick your nose in and take a big whiff unless you’re prepared for the vinegar, because it’s coming.

Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar Wings

The Perfect Combination of Salt and Vinegar

I usually only season my dry wings after cooking. But for extra flavor, try tossing the raw wings with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil and then season well. Cook as desired, then season more just before serving.

This is my first time using a seasoning from Buffalo Wild Wings. I loved the flavor for sure. Good thing I bought a bottle of each of their available flavors to try!

Remember that if you have to refrigerate your open bottle of wing sauce to 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.

Also try Buffalo Wild Wing’s honey BBQ wings.

Wing Magic Smoky Lime Dry Wings

Dry wings are popular for a reason. There are a lot of great wing seasonings on the market.

This seasoning has a lightly smoky flavor with a little kick. You bet it’s just the right amount of sweet. And oh, lime! Delicious citrusy lime comes along for a decidedly different taste.

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!
