Ahhhhh. There’s just something so satisfying about the combination of roasted garlic and Parmesan. Put the two in a creamy sauce and you’ve got the perfect topping for perfectly-cooked, crispy wings. Kinder’s Garlic Parmesan wings hit the spot and are a great change from classic Buffalo wing flavors.
The Perfect Balance
Kinder’s Garlic Parmesan wing sauce goes on thick, but it kinda ‘melts’ when it hits hot wings. The flavors get everywhere, in every bite. It’s not gloppy or too thick, not at all. Take a gander at the wings in the picture above. Man, were they ever delicious! This isn’t a salad dressing. It’s a wing sauce!
Whenever my wife and I are in the Gatlinburg, Tennessee, area we always make it a point to swing by a Pepper Palace store. They have several stores in the area, including a new one in Sevierville in an area called The Island. The store, as always, was busy, with people everywhere enjoying samples of the hot sauces and salsas, from the hot to the mild. Me, I headed straight to the wing sauces and in particular, Pepper Palace’s own line of Wing Master sauces, including this Garlic Parmesan wing sauce.
I couldn’t wait!
As soon as we returned from our trip I threw a few seasoned wings onto my Weber Performer grill outfitted with the Vortex insert. When the wings were done I tossed them with the Garlic Parmesan wing sauce and dug in. The sauce is mellow, cheesy, and definitely garlicky. Not overwhelmingly garlicky, but really good. Yes, there’s a slight wing sauce kick, but again, not overwhelming. It’s a very enjoyable sauce, and a favorite around our house. Furthermore, I definitely wish that I’d picked up a few more bottles!
Get to a Pepper Palace now!
Pepper Palace has a wide range of sauces, from the extremely hot to the nice and mellow. The Garlic Parmesan wing sauce is nice and mellow with not a lot of heat. I seasoned the wings with your standard Ranch dressing seasoning mix, which complemented the sauce flavors perfectly.
Pepper Palace makes a ton of great sauces and seasonings, not just for wings. Find a store near you and spend an hour or two wandering the shelves. They always have an area where you can sample sauces and spices, too. It’s like flavor heaven. Instead, if there’s not one near you, take a road trip (it’ll be worth it) or order online.
I’ve always been happy with everything from Sweet Baby Ray’s. So I had pretty high hopes (and standards) for the newly-released Sweet Baby Ray’s Garlic Parmesan wing sauce. I knew I didn’t have to be worried I’d just wasted some hard-earned bucks on a sauce I wouldn’t like. And I knew it’d be loaded with garlic, but not too much. I knew it’d have hints of Parmesan. And I knew it’d be the perfect consistency. So, no surprises here. This is a great garlic Parmesan wing sauce.
You Can See The Garlic. And Lots Of It!
Sweet Baby Ray’s Garlic Parmesan wing sauce is great on grilled whole chicken or pieces, too. And you can use it as a marinade. Or even a salad dressing. It’s a very versatile sauce. It really shines on wings, though. It’s a finger-licking experience and that’s what makes me happy and coming back to SBR’s sauces again and again! Enjoy!
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.
Garlic Parmesan is the second wing sauce I’ve tried from Meijer grocery stores. Like the first one, sweet chili, I was completely happy with how great the sauce is. Perfect consistency. No artificial stuff. Very flavorful and just right. Yeah, you’re gonna have garlic breath for a while but it is called ‘Garlic Parmesan’ and not ‘No Garlic Parmesan’. Whomever named Meijer Garlic Parmesan wings sauce wasn’t lying about the garlic or the Parmesan!
Great On Roasted Or Grilled Chicken, Too!
I like this sauce so much I also slather it on grilled or roasted chicken. I also mix it in with cut up cooked chicken, perfect over a bed of greens for a grilled chicken salad.
These savory garlic Parmesan chicken wings were just absolutely fantastic. Nutty Parmesan cheese pairs well with earthy garlic. For me, just a little bit of cool Ranch dressing for dipping is all that is required. I want to enjoy the flavor of the wings, so I just dip a bit, if at all. The sauce is mighty finger-licking good. And it’s loaded with garlic, my favorite.
Great Wings. Very Great Wings.
I cooked these garlic Parmesan wings on my Weber charcoal grill using the Vortex, which gives me that great crunchy skin and fantastic grilled flavor without a lot of effort. In fact, just about no effort whatsoever. It takes about 45 minutes for me to get the charcoal in the Vortex good and hot. Then it takes about another 45 minutes to cook the wings. The wings take on a great hint of charcoal flavor to boot, which is a nice change from deep-fried or even air-fried wings.
I do eat my share of wings. I admit it. 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. I also always keep some pre-made wings on hand in the freezer. Why? Because, well, I like them. I picked up a bag of these Tyson Garlic Parmesan crispy wings and made them the other day in my air fryer. Boy, did they ever make the house smell good. My mouth was watering… Then I got to eating…
Crunchy Battered Yumminess
Tyson Garlic Parmesan crispy wings are a variety of wing pieces that are seasoned and battered. Some pieces are bigger than others. 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 great blend of spices and Parmesan cheese flavors. I’d call it a nice middle-of-the-road flavor. Not too overwhelming. 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. I do like crunchier wings. That extra time gets me to crunchy 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 rice or mac and cheese and maybe some green beans and enjoy!

Instructions
For the air fryer
Lightly spray your air fryer basket with non-stick spray. Preheat your air fryer to 360 F per the manufacturer's instructions.
Add the wing pieces and cook for 12-14 minutes. Note: I prefer 16 minutes. I recommend checking them after 12 or so minutes to see if you are happy with the color of the wings and remove them before 16 minutes if desired.
Remove wings and let cool for 2 minutes before serving.
For the oven
Preheat oven to 400 F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Add wings and cook for 10 minutes. Flip and cook another 10-15 minutes.
I’m a HUGE fan of dry wings. You know, wings that are cooked up nice and crunchy then tossed with a seasoning, such as Kosmos Q’s Garlic and Parmesan wing dust. No sauce. Yeah, you can have a dipping sauce, but the wings themselves are not tossed in anything but seasoning. I’m happy to see more and more restaurants and bars now offer dry wings in addition to wet ones.
Crazy good!
So, I tossed some air fryer wings with Kosmos Q’s Garlic and Parmesan wing dust and proceeded to devour each and every one. And quickly. The wing dust is crazy flavorful. I absolutely loved it. The garlic isn’t overpowering, it’s there and it’s perfect. Ditto the Parmesan. Also perfect. Certainly these are some of the best dry wings I’ve ever had. The dust is definitely finger-licking good!
Not just for wings, nope!
Kosmos Q Garlic Parmesan wing dust isn’t just for wings, nope. This stuff is fantastic on a garlic bread. Just take slices of French bread and spread on a little melted butter. Then sprinkle some Kosmo’s Q Garlic and Parmesan wing dust. Remember, edge-to-edge is our pledge so make sure you get some dust along the edges of the bread too. Bake or grill at 425 F for a few minutes until golden brown. Devour. It makes for really, really great garlic Parmesan bread, trust me.
Get some!
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!
Toss wings with seasoning before serving. Don’t be shy with it.
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.
