tropical wings Archives

These Kinder’s Habanero Pineapple air fryer dry wings are kinda different. The seasoning has a bit of a sweetness to it. A bit of tropical flavor. Oh then comes the heat. Good heat. A nice stingy heat. Each bite is a ‘welcome to the islands’ kiss. With a rough edge to it. These are great dry wings that are a bit different than the dry wings you usually get or make.

Season. Cook. Season.

I like to double-season my Kinder’s Habanero Pineapple air fryer dry wings. First, I give my fresh wings a bit of a seasoning before going into the air fryer. It’s like a dry marinade in a way. You can even let the wings set for up to 2 hours, absorbing that flavor, before cooking. Then, after they come out of the fryer all golden brown with crispy skin, I toss them in more seasoning. While they are still hot. That’s when the oils are still on the surface of the wings, ready and willing to take on more seasoning. That’s when you hit them with more. Oh yeah!

I can fit a good two or three servings of wings in my air fryer. It’s not fancy but it works just fine and always makes great wings!

Ingredients

3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
Kinder's Habanero Pineapple seasoning

Instructions

Season the wings with the seasoning mix.
Preheat your air fryer to 350 F.
Working in batches if needed, air fry the wings for 12 minutes.
Flip the wings and air fry another 12 minutes.
Turn the air fryer temperature to 400 F and fry another 6 minutes or until the wings are golden brown.
Remove the wings and toss in more seasoning.

Notes

I prefer to seasoning 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.

Tropical Wings Are A Win

I wasn’t shy with the seasoning when I made some Wing Master Mango Chile-Lime dry wings. As soon as the wings were cooked (in an air fryer in this case), I transferred them to a bowl and give them a few good shakes of seasoning while tossing gently. I found the flavors to be wonderfully different. I’m inspired now to find more tropical-like wing flavors!

If I am serving my wings with Ranch or blue cheese or some other sauce, I use these little sauce dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables. And they’re easy to clean, too!
