Da Kine Hawaiian Smoky Dry Rub Seasoning Wings

It was a good day. A very good day. That’s because these Da Kine Hawaiian smoky dry rub seasoning wings really, really hit the spot. I was already a big fan (addict, perhaps) of dry wings. I love that super-crunchy skin. And I love tons of seasoning. This seasoning is a little smoky. Just-right smoky, actually. Perfect on wings. Oh yeah, you can put it on other things, and I do. Like smoked ribs or pork shoulder. Burgers. Those things. But for me, this seasoning was really meant for dry wings!

Da Kine Hawaiian Smoky Dry Rub Seasoning Wings

Season Before. Season After.

I’ve learned that the key to success for dry wings is two-fold. One, cook those wings with high heat to get maximum crunchy skin. I use an air-fryer to do that, usually. Or a charcoal grill with the Vortex. And sometimes a deep fryer. No matter which you use, aim for crunchy skin. And season the wings well before you cook them. Then, after they’re done and still hot, season them some more. Load up. Go for it. These Da Kine Hawaiian smoky dry rub seasoning wings are not meant to be shy on flavor.

If you’re really wanting to up it, season them even again once you plate them. Pro tip: You can drag the wings through any seasoning that falls onto your plate for extra yumminess.

This seasoning is delicious on wings. Get some just for that and you’ll be more than happy!

Jimbo’s Mild Wang Sauce Wings

Nothing makes me happier than to discover a new wing sauce. Especially one that just wows the heck out of me. I was perusing the sauces at one of my favorite places on earth, Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati, when I spotted the Jimbo’s Wang sauces. Nope, that’s not a typo. That’s what the bottle says. I grabbed a few and headed back home to make wings ASAP. I didn’t do anything fancy with them. Season ’em, cook ’em, sauce ’em. Then devour ’em. This sauce is crazy good. I was almost reminded of Heinz 57 steak sauce. A little ketchup-y. Hints of Worcestershire sauce. The perfect combination of tastes. And the right consistency, too. Man, what a great sauce.

Jimbo's Mild Wang Sauce Wings

It’s A Happy Time!

These Jimbo’s Mild Wang sauce wings made me happy. They came out great. I made my standard-issue air fryer wings. I didn’t want to load them up with a lot of in-my-face seasoning that might end up fighting the sauce. It being my first time using it, I didn’t want the sauce to be drowned out by other flavors. Now that I know what it’s like, I can adjust my seasoning to complement it. Or I can just go with salt and pepper and let the sauce do all the talking. Every day is a new day, and another great day to enjoy wings, like these!

Sous Vide Deep-Fried Wings

It’s ok if you’re making ‘the face’ right now. I get it from my wife sometimes. It’s usually followed by ‘those seem complicated’. Yeah, that might be your first thought (and mine) when you look over the recipe for these sous vide deep-fried wings. Do this. Then do that. And that. But let me tell you, when I took that first bite every ounce of doubt was gone. These are amazing. The wings themselves are incredibly tasty. So tender. Amazingly juicy. Really, I could’ve just eaten them by themselves. No sauce, nothing. I have made a lot of wings. A lot. And these are way, way up on the list of my all-time favorites.

Sous Vide Deep-Fried Wings

The Finish Line

I finished off my sous vide deep-fried wings in the deep fryer (kind of obvious, huh?). I didn’t have to. I could’ve reheated the air-dried wings in the oven. Or the air fryer. Or tossed them onto a hot grill. I just needed to heat them up. Get a little crunch on the skin. Then I lightly sauced them in a Buffalo wing sauce. Lightly because I definitely did not want to overpower the wings. They are amazing. The sauce did not need to be the star of the show. It just needed to be there.

These are great wings.

Bronco Bob’s Roasted Raspberry Chipotle Wings

Oh my goodness gracious me oh my. Did I ever find one of the best sauces ever for wings. Everything I crave is in this sauce. It’s a little fruity (well, technically it’s berry-y). A little spicy. It looks amazing. It tastes amazing. These Bronco Bob’s Roasted Raspberry Chipotle wings are nothing but delicious. I could eat these all day long and still ask for more. What a winner!

Wings. Ribs. Cream cheese. Whateves.

This sauce is truly great on wings. But I do eat other things. Rarely, but it happens. It’s also great on ribs. Really great. Or pour some over softened cream cheese and serve with crackers. Dip chicken nuggets in it. Whatever you got, the sauce will make it better. Or just enjoy some Bronco Bob’s Roasted Raspberry Chipotle wings.

I went with my classic, favorite lunchtime wing recipe for air fryer wings. I work from home but that doesn’t mean I have a lot of free time to muss and fuss with my lunch. Air fryer wings are easy and turn out great every single time. Cook. Sauce. Eat. Doesn’t get much easier than that!

Hidden Valley Ranch Air Fryer Ranch Wings

Oh yum! As a certified Ranch-a-holic, these Hidden Valley Ranch air fryer Ranch wings were right in my wheelhouse as they say. Every bite was packed with the perfect amount of Ranch flavor. Crispy from the air fryer. Tender. Juicy. These were some mighty-good, and mighty-easy, wings!

Hidden Valley Ranch Air Fryer Ranch Wings

My Kind Of Dry Wings

These Hidden Valley Ranch air fryer Ranch wings are ‘dry’ wings. No, no. That doesn’t mean they’re bone-dry, dehydrated and basically yucky. Quite the opposite. The wings themselves are perfect. They’re called ‘dry’ because there’s no sauce. Anywhere. None to be seen. Why? Because you don’t need it. The seasoning does the work here. You won’t be missing the sauce.

Ok, so if you need to have a sauce, serve these wings with a little Ranch dressing on the side for dipping. Don’t hide the wonderful flavor on these wings. But it’s ok to double-up on the Ranch!

Louisiana Fish Fry Seasoned Chicken Wings

Ahhhhh. True deep-fried battered wing goodness. These Louisiana Fish Fry seasoned chicken wings hit the spot. Wonderfully crunchy. Perfectly seasoned. Crazy easy. And ready in minutes. While not ‘traditional’ wings, I do love wings made ‘grandma’s fried chicken style’. You can’t beat the taste, the moist juicy chicken and of course the super-crunchy skin and coating.

Louisiana Fish Fry Seasoned Chicken Wings

Plain. But Not Plain.

I serve my Louisiana Fish Fry seasoned chicken wings ‘plain’. No sauce on them. I could have sauced them. Carefully. You can’t go crazy saucing these wings. First, you get to tossing the wings and the batter’s gonna fall off. That’s not good. Second, the batter will get soggy. And that’s not good. Best to serve some sauce on the side. Just dunk as you go!

Chili Crisp Wings using the Vortex

Yowsa. Talk about a great flavor combination. The light charcoal and wood smokiness from the Vortex and the spicy umami-ness of chili crisp made me one happy guy. These chili crisp wings using the Vortex really hit the spot. Nothing complicated here. With that first bite my face lit up and I mouthed “Wow. That’s good.” I made these wings three days in a row. Now that’s saying something!

Chili Crisp Wings using the Vortex

The Whole Chili Crisp. Or Just The Oil.

I tried my chili crisp wings using the Vortex two different ways. Or I added the chili crisp two different ways, I should say. The first time I spooned the mixture over the top, getting a good bit of the chili peppers on each and every wing. A little spicy, the wings were great. Hints of garlic and onion and fermented black beans. Almost soy sauce-like. Just good stuff. Second time, I just used the oil from the jar of chili crisp. More like a wing sauce. Again, delicious. And a little less spicy.

Your flavor experience will vary based on the type of chili crisp you buy. You can also make your own, there are lots of recipes out there for that.

  • Add the chicken as shown in the picture above. For the flats have the skin side up, and for the drumettes keep the meaty part away from the fire.

Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple Wings

It’s as if someone at Frank’s RedHot was monitoring my dreams. Taking notes. Then, they created a sauce especially for me. Plenty of sweet, and plenty of heat. The stuff dreams are made of. And maple. Oh, maple. That wonderful aroma, with hints of vanilla and caramel. All I had to do was cook wings and add sauce to make my dreams come true. Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple wings are the kind of wings that I wake up every day for. I could not get enough of them!

Frank's RedHot Spicy Maple Wings

More. Or Less.

I made a batch of my easy air fryer wings. A little seasoning, and cook. Nothing fancy, nothing crazy. I left the flavors up to the sauce. These Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple wings don’t need any help. You can put a little sauce for wonderful hints of sweetness, maple and spiciness. Or you can load up on the sauce and get a lot of everything. Your call. That’s why there’s a tomorrow. Do it one way today, and another tomorrow.

This sauce is also crazy good on chicken and waffles. Like big time crazy good.

Air Fryer Wings with Buffalo Arby’s Sauce

Earlier this week I made my homemade (sorta) Arby’s roast beef sandwiches. Instead of making my own, I picked up a bottle of Arby’s sauce at the grocery store. For days, every time I opened the fridge, that half-used bottle was staring at me. Calling me. “What should I do with it?” I thought. Well, only one answer came to me: “Make a wing sauce!”. So I did. And that’s how air fryer wings with Buffalo Arby’s sauce came to be. And they were a very good thing. That great Arby’s sauce tang, with a little Buffalo sauce inspiration and flavor added in. They might sound crazy because they were. Crazy good, that is!

Air Fryer Wings with Buffalo Arby's Sauce

Can You Buffalo-ize Anything?

These air fryer wings with Buffalo Arby’s sauce raises the question “Can you turn any sauce into a Buffalo wing sauce-like sauce?”. Maybe. I’ve certainly tried plenty of times. And usually I end up with something I like. And truth be told, it’s a great way to use up those half-bottles of sauces you’ve had in the fridge for a few weeks longer than you should’ve. Heck, what do you have to lose? Try them. You might just like them.

Yep, for extra heat, add more hot sauce. I was gonna say that earlier but forgot.

Instructions

For the Buffalo Arby's Sauce (makes extra)

  • Melt the butter in a small saucepan.
  • Stir in the Arby's sauce and hot sauce.
  • Keep warm until ready to use.

For the wings

  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer’s recommendation.
  • Combine the baking powder, salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the wings and toss to coat.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it’s hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
  • Cook at 360 F for 12 minutes for large wings, 10 minutes for smaller ones.
  • Carefully flip the wings (rotate the drumettes if they are standing) and cook another 12 minutes again (10 minutes for smaller wings) at 375 F.
  • Flip the wings one last time. Increase the temperature to 390 F and cook another 6 minutes (4 minutes for smaller wings).
  • Remove and toss with your favorite wing sauce.  Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.

Jalapeno Pepper Jelly Wings

Why do I keep doing this to myself? Why do I keep making wings that are so good that I can’t stop eating them? I keep thinking I’ll have a sandwich tomorrow for lunch, but it never happens. Not when there are wings to be had, like these jalapeno pepper jelly wings. These were great. Not complicated, but great. And messy. Good and messy. The finger-licking kind of messy.

Jalapeno Pepper Jelly Wings

The key to these jalapeno pepper jelly wings is the jelly. Use a good one. A really good one. One with pepper chunks in it. The real stuff. You know what? Buc-ee’s has fantastic pepper jelly. Not just jalapeno, either. And the price is right, too. I backed up the truck last time we were there. Loaded up. Got them all. They’re not only great on wings, they’re delicious over smoked cream cheese. Or on a peanut butter sandwich (that I never have, because I keep making wings).

These wings weren’t super-spicy. Not at all. Now, they could be. It’s all up to the jelly you use. The one from Buc-ee’s is pretty tame but you’ll notice some heat. I’d call it a ‘nice’ level of spiciness.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400F.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Lightly spray the foil with non-stick spray.
  • Season wings with salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • Place wings on foil (place the flats skin-side down) and bake 25 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and bake another 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. If you want a slightly crispier skin, place under the broiler for a few minutes.
  • While the wings are baking, place the jelly, vinegar and butter into a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir until butter melts and the jelly is well-combined. Keep warm until ready to use.
  • When the wings are done, remove from the oven and transfer to a large bowl.
  • Drizzle with the sauce and turn to coat.

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.
