Rotisserie-Seasoned Air Fryer Wings

The air fryer does a great job making great wings. With little effort they come out crispy and juicy. Here lately I’ve found myself badly addicted to rotisserie chicken seasoning. There’s something about the aroma and taste that really appeals to me. You get that slow-roasted chicken flavor and aroma. There’s a wonderfully fantastic golden color. Your mouth begins to water long before you take that first bite. On wings, it’s fantastic. These rotisserie-seasoned air fryer wings smell and taste just like the chicken you can get at your supermarket.

Rotisserie-Seasoned Air Fryer Wings

Oh, That Crunchy Delicious Skin!

Besides that great classic flavor, these rotisserie-seasoned air fryer wings have super crunchy, delicious skin. You’re definitely going to think you’re eating battered deep-fried chicken. But you’re not. Just a little seasoning and baking powder goes into making these wings fantastic. You ‘dry’ the wings for a short time in the fridge before cooking them. That helps ensure that the skins will get nice and crunchy. So does the baking powder, mixed into the seasoning. Finally, when the wings are cooked to perfection, and while they’re still hot, you sprinkle them with a bit more of the seasoning.

No Dipping Sauce Needed

You can serve these wings ‘dry’, without any dipping sauce. They’re delicious just straight up seasoned and nothing else. You can also serve them with a bit of blue cheese or ranch dressing for a little dipping action.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Pat the wings dry with a paper towel and place into a medium bowl.
  • Combine the baking powder and 1 teaspoon of the seasoning. Sprinkle over the wing parts and toss well to coat.
  • Transfer wings to a plate and cover with paper towel. Place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours to help dry the skin.
  • Preheat your air fryer to 360 F. Lightly spray the basket with non-stick spray.
  • Add the wings. Cook for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and cook for another 10 minutes.
  • Increase the air fryer temperature to 400 F. Flip the wings and cook another 4-6 minutes or until the wings are done and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the wings to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining seasoning and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Notes

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.

Kosmos Q Seven Pepper Face Lift Dry Wings

You probably don’t need me to tell you that there’s a lot of pepper in this seasoning. Kosmos Q Seven Pepper Face Lift dry wings are crazy good, but I gotta warn you. It opens up with a kick. It’ll wake you up, but an instant later you get nothing but fantastic peppery flavor. I mean, really good. After a few bites I was all about that heat and pepper and couldn’t get enough. But I admit, that first kick was … a kick!

Kosmos Q Seven Pepper Face Lift Dry Wings

The Label Does Say Pepper…

If you’re a tad shy about heat I’d recommend going light on the Kosmos Q Seven Pepper Face Lift dry wing seasoning the first time. And I don’t recommend sticking your finger into the bag the first time you open it to get a big ole taste. I paid for that. But, the heat does go away pretty quick, fortunately for me.

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!

You gotta make some Kosmos Q spicy garlic wings too!

Lawry’s Mango Habanero Dry Wings

I bought a big ole bottle of this seasoning, and I do mean big. Good thing that it’s really good stuff! Sometimes I sprinkle it on my wings before I cook and sauce them. And sometimes, I sprinkle it on my wings before and after I cook them. Lawry’s Mango Habanero dry wings are fantastic. They have some kick to them, some heat. It’ll make your lips tingle for sure. And it has a wonderful, almost tropical, mango flavor. Usually I’d expect that more from a sauce, but here it’s in a wonderful seasoning instead.

Lawry's Mango Habanero Dry Wings

Good Thing It Comes In A Big Bottle

Lawry’s Mango Habanero seasoning comes in a big ole bottle. It has the right-sized holes in the lid so you can shake it out nice and evenly over your wings. It says it’ll season 69 pounds of wings just from one bottle. Good thing, because I eat a lot of wings and this stuff is great! Make yourself a batch of Lawry’s Mango Habanero dry wings today!

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper Wing Dust Wings

One thing is for sure, when you open a package of Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper wing dust, you don’t have to ask yourself which of their fantastic flavors you’re having. It’s darned obvious. Kosmos Q seasonings don’t mess around. They are packed with flavor. And that means you don’t have to use much to enjoy a batch of wonderfully-flavored wings. Lovely citrus and black pepper make this seasoning perfect on dry wings.

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper Wing Dust Wings

This Ain’t No Lame Wing Dust

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper wing dust is a great change from the usual spicy Buffalo-inspired seasonings. So, it’s not just great on wings, either. Sprinkle it generously on grilled or roasted chicken. It’s also great on roasted potatoes and veggies. You can’t go wrong with it no matter what you use it on!

You get a lot in each and every bag of Kosmos Q’s wing dusts. The seasonings are high quality and seasoned perfectly. You won’t regret buying it. And you won’t regret doing what I did: buy a bag of each and every flavor to try, then order much, much more!

Kosmos Q Buffalo Dry Wings

I’m a big fan of dry wings. It’s easy to be one, too, with flavors like those in these Kosmos Q Buffalo dry wings. I just cook up a batch of wings and toss them in the seasoning. That’s it. There’s nothing fancy going on here. Just good, traditional Buffalo wing flavor all in a powder (which I’m quite generous with, I do admit!). How cool and awesome is that? If you’ve never had dry wings you are really missing out. Since I discovered them I find myself ordering or making them at least half of the time I have wings.

Kosmos Q Buffalo Dry Wings

Fantastic Dry Wings With Just A Little Kick

Kosmo’s Q Buffalo dry wing dust has just the right amount of spiciness to it. It’s not crazy hot and it’s not crazy tame. Somewhere in-between. You gotta know you’re having Buffalo-inspired wings, right? Well, that’s what you get and then some!

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!

Joe Montana’s Dry Rub Wings

I don’t know if these really are Joe Montana‘s dry rub wings. Maybe they are. I’m a long-time Dallas Cowboy fan so it sorta bothers me to say that these are mighty darned good wings.

And as much as I do like wings covered in sauce, I’m just as big of a fan of dry wings. Over-the-top sauces can bury the flavors from the chicken and the seasonings. So, if you can’t taste the chicken, what’s the point of cooking wings to start with?

Joe Montana's Dry Rub Wings

Simple, Yet Delicious!

There’s nothing but flavor from Joe Montana’s dry rub wings. Overall simple flavors. Likewise no spiciness (add a good pinch of cayenne if you want some heat). No sweetness (add some brown sugar or honey powder if you prefer a sweeter wing). Just great flavor that anyone will love.

These wings are dry marinated in the rub just before cooking. After they are done, the wings are tossed in a little more rub. You get the rub in every bite.

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.

Also try some delicious 5 salt 5 pepper air fryer wings!

Tacos Al Pastor Dry Wings

The flavor of tacos al pastor is one of my favorites. These tacos al pastor dry wings have that same great flavor without all the work. Paprika, chipotle powder, chili powder and a few other Mexican-inspired spices give the chicken wings a wonderful earthly flavor with a hint of smokiness and just a touch of heat. Sprinkled with cilantro and served with crema for dipping, these are great (easy) wings!

Al Pastor Dry Wings

Make it or buy it

I used a package of tacos al pastor seasoning, but you can also make your own. The store-bought seasoning is super tasty, but a tad salty, so you might want to be a little shy with it. You don’t need a lot of it anyways, it’s so flavorful. If you make your own you can of course control the salt if that’s your thing. No matter which seasoning you use, you can’t go wrong with these tacos al pastor dry wings. They’re a nice Mexican-inspired treat!

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.

McCormick Grill Mates Nashville Hot Chicken 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 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.

Kinder’s Woodfired Garlic Dry Wings

My oh me oh goodness. It’s hard to put into words how much I loved these Kinder’s Woodfired garlic dry wings. The seasoning is just perfect. It helps that I’m a total garlic addict. But this isn’t any ordinary garlic flavor, nope. It’s garlic that has been roasted over a fire. Who does that? Great people do that! And they put it in a shaker bottle so I can have the best dry wings ever!

Kinder's Woodfired Garlic Dry Wings

Crazy Fantastically Good And A Big Favorite Of Mine.

I went big when I seasoned my wings. Kinder’s Woodfired garlic wings can handle lots of seasoning. The flavor is so good I can’t get enough. Up next, I’m sprinkling some on a whole roasted chicken. This stuff is going to replace my traditional rotisserie chicken for sure. I love it (in case you couldn’t tell)!

Kosmos Q Kickin’ Cajun Wing Dust Wings

I’m a HUGE fan of dry wings. I’ve found myself eating them more and more these days. Wings tossed with a seasoning, such as Kosmos Q’s Kickin Cajun wing dust make for the perfect lunch or appetizer. No sauce required.

I tossed some air fryer wings with Kosmos Q’s Kickin’ Cajun wing dust and proceeded to devour each and every one. The wing dust is crazy flavorful and it definitely has a kick to it. At first I was a bit overwhelmed by the heat, but then I found myself craving it more and more. And more. I couldn’t stop myself, I absolutely loved it. I loved the kick and I loved the spice.

Kosmos Q Kickin' Cajun Wing Dust Wings

The Kick Is Comin’. Get Ready.

The first time I made wings with Kosmos Q’s Kickin’ Cajun wing dust I went pretty light on it. It was nice and spicy, but I found myself wanting more. So the next time I loaded up big time with the dust. Oh yeah, my mouth was on fire but it was a good fire. I think I now have a full-blown addiction to it.

You get a lot in each and every bag of Kosmos Q’s wing dusts. The seasonings are high quality and seasoned perfectly. You won’t regret buying it. And you won’t regret doing what I did: buy a bag of each and every flavor to try, then order much, much more!
