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 are what dry wings are meant to be. Easy. Amazing. And packed with flavor.

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper Wing Dust Wings

This Ain’t No Lame Wing Dust

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper wing dust wings are a great change from the wings sprinkled with 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!

Got Seasonings?

You have to take care of your dry seasonings. In return, they’ll take care of you by always being ready the next time you need them! Protect seasonings from the four main enemies of flavor: heat, light, air, and moisture. Never store them above the stove or oven, where steam and temperature swings cause caking and quick degradation. If you have a problem with high humidity causing your dry seasonings to cake, try adding a silica gel packet to the containers to remove moisture.

Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing (Copycat Recipe)

I was looking for a new dipping sauce for wings. I love Ranch dressing and I have to admit that it’s my go-to. But I also love blue cheese dressing. I was thinking to myself, “You know, you haven’t had a good blue cheese in a while”. So I made this copycat recipe of the blue cheese salad dressing from Outback Steakhouse. This instantly became my favorite chicken wing dipping sauce (and salad dressing).

Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing (Copycat Recipe)

The Perfect Wing Dunking Dressing

You really need to let this copycat recipe Outback Steakhouse blue cheese salad dressing ‘get happy’ in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. I actually prefer to let it sit overnight. The flavors get blended as you wait, and the wait is worth it. If you taste the dressing just moments after you make it you might be disappointed as it won’t have much flavor. That flavor comes later, so be patient! Then get yourself some wings, some of this dressing and GET TO IT!

I use this little ole sauce dipping cups for my salad dressings and dipping sauces. Whether I’m dipping wings, nuggets or chicken tenders or whatever, they’re the perfect size. And they’re easy to clean up, too. As an added bonus they help me with serving size, which is a good thing because I lack control around this blue cheese dressing!

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. Kosmos Q Kickin’ Cajun Wing Dust wings are what dry wings are meant to be. Easy. Amazing. And packed with flavor.

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 Kosmos Q Kickin’ Cajun wing dust wings I went pretty light on the seasoning. 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!

Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

I’m pretty much a Ranch dressing wing-dipping kind of guy. Sometimes I’ll go ‘nuts’ and dip with blue cheese dressing. I’m always on the lookup for a way to amp up my Ranch dressing, just to make sure I don’t get bored with it. This jalapeno Ranch dressing combines a few ingredients with bottled dressing and in no time, boom! Upscale Ranch dressing with a nice mild kick.

Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

Ranch. With A kick.

This jalapeno Ranch dressing definitely needs to get happy in the fridge for AT LEAST 2 hours before serving. I actually prefer to let it blend overnight. It thickens up then too, making it perfect for sticking to wings. Heck, you don’t want the stuff just running right off, do you?

Is It Hot In Here?

And don’t fear the jalapeno. It adds a nice pepper flavor, with just a little heat. You can use more if you want more of a kick but I wouldn’t use less or you won’t notice it much.

A Perfect Way To Heat Up Your Wings

You gotta watch out serving hot wings sometimes. Not everyone likes that heat. But, one way to satisfy your heat-craving friends is to give them this ‘special’ ranch for dipping their ‘not hot’ wings. They’ll get the heat without someone accidentally picking up a hot wing. Now, that doesn’t stop them from accidentally grabbing this spicy ranch. I can’t help with everything!

I use these little sauce dipping cups for dipping my wings. They’re also great for things like nuggets, tenders and even dipping vegetables. As an added bonus, they’re as to clean too!

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Messy. Very messy. And very good. Normally, I don’t drown my wings in sauce, but this time I had no choice. There was no turning back. These jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings are so darn crazy good that I was going all-in like never before. I’m not sure why I was surprised. The sauce contains all of my favorite things. But yeah, they’re messy. And quite spicy, too. I could not stop eating them despite the mess and heat. And when I took that last bite I was sad. I really wanted more!

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Worth The Mess

The sauce on these jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings is also great on hot dogs and hamburgers. That’s a good thing since the recipe below makes more than you’ll need for a family pack of wings. I’ve found that the sauce is actually better the next day, so plan ahead and let it ‘get happy’ overnight in the fridge before using it.

You can make the sauce nice and smooth (like I did, for wings) or keep it a bit chunky for something like hot dogs or burgers. Just don’t process it as much in your blender or food processor. And remember, you can always process it more, but you can’t process it less so keep an eye on it!

Feeling Kinda Wimpy?

Hey nothing wrong with not wanting a lot of heat. There’s plenty of it in this sauce. But if you’re feeling like maybe you want a little less burn, you can substitute roasted green chiles for the jalapenos. That’s a start.

There’s not a lot you can do to cut back on the heat from the hot sauce. Why? Because it’s hot sauce. My only recommendation is to have a nice big bowl of ranch or blue cheese salad dressing nearby. I use these little condiment cups for that. They’re perfect for wing dunking!

Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Teriyaki Wings

Oh, deliciously sweet, sticky, Asian-inspired wing, how do I love you!? I looked like a bulldog with a pork chop when I started chowing down on some Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Teriyaki wings. Heck, you’d think I hadn’t eaten in a week. I couldn’t help myself. Yeah, there are a ton of things you can use SBRs sauce (and marinade) on, but for me, wings is it. Done.

Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet Teriyaki Wings

So Sweet And So Good

Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Teriyaki wing sauce doesn’t pack any heat. It’s sweet, just like the name says. But, if you’re looking for that extra little something, a little kick, add some hot sauce. I wouldn’t go crazy with it though when you sauce your Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Teriyaki wings. This sauce is perfect as it is and a welcomed change from Buffalo-style wing sauces.

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.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings and for saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My Trusty Wingman

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’m not required to pick a favorite, but this is my favorite wing sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings. The right amount of spiciness, a hint of coconut and a bit of curry.

Harissa Wings

After making roasted harissa cauliflower the other day (my first encounter with harissa) I knew after the first bite that the next thing I was going to make with the spicy red pepper paste would be Harissa wings. There was no doubt in my mind that I was in for a wonderful treat. You get a nice kick, but don’t be afraid. Harissa is not crazy spicy, not at all. It has a wonderful earthy flavor to it. I could eat it all day. On wings I could eat it all week.

Harissa Wings

Great Mediterranean-Inspired Flavors

The Harissa sauce for making harissa wings can be found in the Mediterranean section of your local grocery store. I haven’t tried making it home yet, but I will. The consistency reminds me a bit of hummus, though it’s certainly not hummus. But, oh…. it just hit me… harissa sure would be great in hummus! I’m off to try that now!

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar Dry Wings

The bottle says right on it, in big letters, ‘Salt and Vinegar’. It’s no fib, either. No false advertising there. Nothing but truth. Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar dry wings bring the salt and vinegar. Don’t open it and stick your nose in and take a big whiff unless you’re prepared for the vinegar, because it’s coming.

Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar Wings

The Perfect Combination of Salt and Vinegar

I usually only season my dry wings after cooking. But for extra flavor, try tossing the raw wings with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil and then season well. Cook as desired, then season more just before serving. This Buffalo Wild Wings salt and vinegar dry wings are served without sauce. Hence the ‘dry’ part. That doesn’t mean you can’t serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, on the side though. The salt and vinegar can get a bit strong. It’s ok to cool yourself down a bit with some ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Stay Dry My Friends

This is my first time using a seasoning from Buffalo Wild Wings. I loved the flavor for sure. Good thing I bought a bottle of each of their available flavors to try! I love dry wings. They’re a great way to enjoy a tasty, quality seasoning. You sauce wings to taste the sauce. Why not season them to taste the seasoning?

Dry wings typically come to you with crunchier skin, too. No sauce to make that skin soggy. That’s a huge win for me!

Honey Old Bay Wings

My addiction to Old Bay seasoning began long ago, in crab and shrimp boils. And as often as possible, I still feed my addiction. Now, though, I also get my fix with chicken wings. These honey Old Bay wings not only have that great seafood seasoning flavor, they have a bit of sweetness too. And a bit of heat. Not a lot, but just a hint. Nothing to overpower the main reason I made these wings: Old Bay flavor. I’m a big time Old Bay addict and I’m ok admitting it.

I think these are amazingly-good wings. No, they aren’t complicated. Not even close. They use ingredients you very likely have on-hand. And it requires almost no time at all to make. That’s just an all-around win in my book!

Honey Old Bay Wings

The Perfect Wings?

My favorite variation on these honey Old Bay wings is to leave out the cayenne pepper and substitute Mike’s Hot Honey for ‘regular’ honey instead. Mike’s Hot Honey is just that: hot danged honey! It’s creamy smooth and packs a serious kick. It’s not for the faint of heart, so if you’re a bit worried about the heat, try adding just a bit of it to your ‘regular’ honey and give it a taste.

Chipotle pepper powder is also a great substitute for the cayenne. It still adds a little heat. But it also adds a little smokiness. Heck, it is ground smoked dried jalapenos, after all!

No Heat Zone

Yep, you bet, you can leave out the cayenne pepper. There’s really not that much of it in the sauce but ‘not a lot’ can be subjective. If you want, just don’t even add it. Or add less.
