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.

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.

Sweet Baby Ray’s Nashville Hot Wings

True story. Goldilocks and the Three Bears was originally written about Nashville hot wing sauces! It’s right there in the book: “Goldilocks moved to the third plate of wings, with Sweet Baby Ray’s Nashville hot wings sauce, and took a bite. “It is just right!” And before she knew it, the wings were all gone. And she was right, this is a great sauce. I knew that any sauce from SBR would have the perfect balance of flavor and heat. There are a lot of Nashville-inspired wing and BBQ sauces out there, but this one ranks way, way up at the top. Get yourself soon before the bears find out about it!

Nicely Flavored, Nicely Spicy

Sweet Baby Ray’s Nashville Hot Wings sauce has a bit of a kick, but it’s definitely not a 4-alarm fire sauce. If you’re looking for a crazy hot Nashville chicken experience, you’ll get that classic flavor here but without the mouth-burning heat.

Buffalo Wild Wings Nashville Hot Wings

I’m a big fan of Nashville hot chicken. I make it often, varying the amount of heat to suit my fancy that day. I was excited to try a bottled sauce with the same flavors: Buffalo Wild Wings Nashville Hot Wings sauce! This sauce is tasty, with a hint of smokiness. It’s spicy, but I wouldn’t call it crazy spicy by any means. I’d say it’s just over medium hot…. ish. It reminds me of the real thing but without all the oil.

Classic Flavor with a Nice Kick

Sometimes I sauce my wings lightly. Sometimes I’m pretty liberal with the sauce. Buffalo Wild Wings Nashville Hot Wings sauce is one I definitely go heavy with. I really liked the somewhat earthy, chili flavor and spicy kick. It’s a nice enjoyable sauce that’s different from many of the sauces on the market these days.
