hickory barbecue wings Archives

You cannot go wrong with a good ole BBQ sauce and wings. Sure, I’ll take Buffalo wings any time, anywhere. But every once in a while I like that backyard-BBQ-inspired flavor on my wings. A little smoky flavor. A little sweetness. Slightly tangy. This time I grabbed a bottle of sauce with Guy Fieri’s face on it. Now, usually celebrity-chef sauces don’t impress me much. But this one did. Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Smokin’ Hickory BBQ sauce wings were fantastic thanks to this sauce.

Nice Everything.

Not too sweet. Not too thick. Not too smoky. Not too thin. Not too anything. This sauce is spot-on great. These wings were finger-lickingly delicious. And darn right, this sauce is great on anything BBQ too. Squeeze some on your ribs next time. Or nachos. And yes, a baked potato. Anything that needs a sauce, BBQ sauce is gonna work on it. Especially this one. These Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Smokin’ Hickory BBQ Sauce wings are great!

Brrrrrrrr!

Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that time getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.

So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.

Also try some Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ sauce wings! They’re BBQ wings with a kick!

My wife said that her first bite of these Croix Valley Hickory Barbecue Dry Wings made her think of her favorite BBQ potato chips. There’s no mistaking the fantastic flavor of this seasoning. It’s really good and very well balanced. If you’re looking for the flavor of BBQ chicken (or really good BBQ chips!) you’re in luck. We both enjoyed the heck out of these wings.

Great BBQ Flavor

I keep my Croix Valley hickory barbecue dry wings simple. I cook them first, and usually without any seasoning on them. I’ll add a bit of salt if I’m cooking them on a deep fryer or grill. But, I don’t add anything else, specially not something that might burn (like seasonings that contain sugar).

Dry wings are a wonderful thing. The skin stays crispy long after you’ve cooked them. That makes them perfect for a get together. You can still serve them with sauce, if you want, just put it on the side in condiment cups. But there’s nothing wrong with serving them dry. And hey, they’re sure as heck a lot less messy!

Dry Wings Are A Favorite

After the wings are done, and while they’re still hot and a bit oily, I toss them in seasoning. That’s when the wings and the seasoning are going to come together the best. If you wait until the wings cool the seasoning won’t stick as well. Also, make sure you use a quality seasoning… like anything from Croix Valley!

I often also like to season my wings even more after I plate them. It’s like a garnish, but with flavor.

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!
