Kirkwood Honey BBQ Chicken Wings

I’m a fresh wing kinda guy. Usually. Sometimes I don’t have time to prepare wings from scratch. Or worse, I can’t find fresh wings in my grocery store. Or I just want to try something new. I was in Aldi the other day, picking up fresh wings (they have great fresh wings). I decided to check out the freezer cases before I headed to the checkout. And there they were. Kirkwood Honey BBQ chicken wings (and Buffalo style wings, too!). They looked good. I bought them. And I made them. And you know what? They were good!

Actual Wings. No Weird Stuff.

I’ve purchased some weird looking frozen wings. They were pre-battered, like these. But they didn’t look like wings. Kirkwood Honey BBQ chicken wings are pre-battered. And they look like wings. Because they are actual wings. They’re sauced just right, in a sauce with good BBQ flavor and a hint of sweetness. They’re meaty. I liked them. A lot.

These wings are sauced. A lot. No searching for sauce on these. It’s everywhere. So grab a pile of napkins!

Seven Servings. LOL.

The 22 ounce bag of wings I bought said it was 7 servings. Maybe somewhere in an alternate universe of really tiny people. Not me. I’d call them 4 servings at most. If you’re having a big party and need a bunch of wings, these are going to go over great. Just make sure you buy more than you think you’ll need. They’re good and people will want more. You bet I did.

I baked my wings on a silicone mat. I tried what the instructions on the bag stated and sprayed a baking pan with non-stick spray, but found that the wings still stuck. The silicone mat was much better.

I like to use these little dipping cups for my wing dipping sauce. These Buffalo wings are great with a little blue cheese or ranch dressing!

Equipment

Silicone baking mat not required, but recommended!
non-stick spray if you don't have a silicone baking mat

Ingredients

22 ounces Kirkwood Honey BBQ chicken wings frozen
Ranch dressing or your favorite, for dipping

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 F.
If you have a silicone baking mat, line a baking sheet with the mat and add the wings. If you do not have a silicone baking mat, liberally spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and add the wings. I prefer to start with the bone-side of the wings down (for flats). For the drums it doesn't matter.
Bake for 15 minutes. Gently turn the wings. I use a fork or rubber spatula for this. I've found that tongs will tend to tear the coating/skin if the wings stick any.
Bake another 10-15 minutes or until turning lightly golden in color and the wings internal temperature is 165 F.
Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. They will still be piping hot so be careful!

Notes

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

Tyson Caribbean Style Crispy Wings

I eat my share of wings. And then some. Usually, that means picking up a family pack of 3-4 pounds of fresh wings at the grocery store and cooking them up in whatever way I want. But, I also always keep some frozen, pre-made wings on hand for ‘wing emergencies’. And because, well, I like them. I picked up a bag of these Tyson Caribbean Style crispy wings and made them the other day. While they were cooking they gave off an aroma that got my mouth watering big time. Then I got to eating…

Crunchy Battered Yumminess

Tyson Caribbean Style crispy wings are a variety of wing pieces that are seasoned and battered. Some pieces are big, some are small and some are in-between. All you have to do is toss them into the air fryer or oven for a little bit. They come out hot and crispy. They have a hint of spiciness to them, with a slight hint of island-inspired flavors. The seasoning is not overwhelming. It’s very nice and right down the middle of the road as far as not being too strong. You could easily serve these wings to a crowd for the big game, though you’d probably want to make them in the oven since you can only do a small amount at a time in the air fryer.

A Little Extra Cook Time

I like to cook these wings a few more minutes longer than the bag states for the normal cooking time. It could just be my air fryer or oven. But I do like crunchier wings, and that extra time gets me to wing happiness.

Not Just For Football Games

You can easily cook up a batch of these wings and serve them with your favorite sides for a meal. Don’t just think of them as handheld goodies for the big game. They’re great any time! So make some Caribbean rice and maybe some black beans and enjoy!
