Kinder’s Habanero Pineapple Air Fryer Dry Wings

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.

Kinder's Habanero Pineapple Air Fryer Dry Wings

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!

Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana Hot Sauce Wings

I love it when I find a new hot sauce that’s just a bit different than the rest. I crave flavor in my hot sauce, and not just heat. And I love making any hot sauce into a sauce for wings. These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings are delicious with just the right heat level for me. Not overly hot, and not boring, either. These are fingerlickingly-good wings!

Kinder's Creamy Louisiana Hot Wings

Make Wings. Make Sauce. And Make Yourself Happy.

This wasn’t complicated. I threw some wings into the air fryer. Or the deep-fryer. I don’t remember. It’s not really about that. I just needed some cooked-up wings. Meanwhile I made the sauce. Two ingredients. That’s it. I went for a hotter sauce, but as you can see in the recipe below, you can adjust the heat by changing the ratio of butter to hot sauce. I tossed the wings in the sauce, sat down, and got to eatin’. And I was happy. Very happy. That’s wing success right there! These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings did not disappoint!

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Messy. Very messy. And very good. Normally, I don’t drown my wings in sauce, but this time there was no choice. No turning back. These jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings are actually crazy good. 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.

Worth The Mess

The jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wing sauce 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.

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!

How To Make Perfect Wings using a Rotisserie

I have cooked my share of wings and then some. On my Char-Broil Big Easy. And on a smoker. Sometimes, on a charcoal grill using the Vortex BBQ. Deep fried. Slow cooked. Air fried. Convection oven. Any way, any time, I do love wings. But until now I had never cooked wings using a rotisserie basket on my grill. One thing is for sure, this is not the last time I’ll be doing it, either. Perfectly crispy wings cooked up in no time, using a gas or charcoal grill. Nothing but yumminess here! This is how to make perfect wings using a rotisserie.

How To Make Perfect Wings using a Rotisserie

Simple Prep. Great Results.

There are no complicated steps involved when it comes to how to make perfect wings using a rotisserie. I just coated the wings in just a bit of oil first. Then I tossed them with my favorite wing seasoning. That’s it. For the rotisserie all you need is a super hot indirect fire. You don’t want flame directly beneath the wings as they will drip, and that’ll cause flare-ups and burning. So keep the fire around the wings, but not below. Your wings will come out as great as my rotisserie chicken wings did.

No Peeking, Please.

Resist the temptation to open the lid to your grill while the wings cook. But I have to admit, I peeked once or twice because hey, it’s cool to see wings toss around in a basket. It’s the ultimate in food porn.

Course: Appetizer

Keyword: grilled wings
Servings: 6
Calories: 544kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place wings in a large resealable baggie or container. Add the oil and seasoning. Seal and toss to coat. Refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • Fire up your grill with a rotisserie attachment. You do not want any direct fire beneath the basket. I put a disposable pan under the basket to catch and drippings. On a charcoal grill you’ll want to keep the lit coals in front of and behind the rotisserie. For a gas grill you want any burner(s) to the left and right of the basket to be lit if your burners run from-to-back. If your burners run from left-to-right you want to have the burner(s) in front of and behind the basket to be lit. If you have an infrared burner above your basket, light it also and turn it to medium-high. All other burners should be on high.
  • Transfer the wings to the basket and place on your grill. Turn on the rotisserie and close the lid. You want high heat, so no peaking. Let the wings cook for 20 minutes before checking them. They should start to crisp and the meat will start to pull back from the bones. Mine ended up taking 25-30 minutes until they got how I liked them.
  • Carefully remove the wings from the basket and sauce and serve. Click here for our guide on how to sauce wings.

How To Make Perfect Wings using a Char-Broil Big Easy

I have cooked a LOT of chicken wings on my Char-Broil Big Easy. It’s my favorite way to cook wings, other than deep frying. The Big Easy cooks wings so easily and quickly. I usually finish off the wings over a hot grill to get a bit of a crunch on the skin. Well, no more. Crispy wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy are fantastic! This is how to make perfect wings using a Char-Broil Big Easy time after time!

Now I can get delicious, tender, moist, crunchy wings on the Big Easy without grilling them afterwards. These crispy wings are fantastic. This is it, the way to do wings on the cooker you thought was only for turkey!

How To Make Perfect Wings using a Char-Broil Big Easy

Dry Skin Means Crispy Skin

The key to getting the wings crispy is to dry out the skin so that it takes on a good crunch under the high heat of the Big Easy. You can (and should!) also pick up a bunk bed basket that doubles the amount of room you’ll have for cooking wings. You don’t want to crowd the wings into the cooker or they won’t cook evenly. This is how to make perfect wings using a Char-Broil Big Easy, time after time!

Honey Hot Sauce Wings

My wife and I recently visited The Island, located in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. One of the stores we happily stopped by was the Savannah Bee Company. As soon as we walked in the door the lovely aroma of honey hit us. The store was full of great things, from honey tastings to skin care products…. lots of things bee-related! My wife made a bee-line (you’re welcome for that one!) to the stuffed toys. Odd? I know! Me? Honey hot sauce. Not odd! I had wings on the brain as usual. So I grabbed a bottle and started dreaming of making honey hot sauce wings as soon as I got home. And when I did, I was rewarded with delightfully sweet wings with a wonderful kick from scotch bonnet peppers. There’s the perfect balance here. These are fantastic wings!

Honey Hot Sauce Wings

Butter. Or Not.

I like to mix a little melted butter in with whichever hot sauce I’m using to make wings. Like these Honey hot sauce wings. My two ingredient wing sauce has served me well over the years. But, your tastes might be a little different. Heck, some people just go straight up with the hot sauce on their wings. You might want more butter. I dunno. So here’s what I suggest: start by just heating the hot sauce a bit. You don’t want to put cold sauce on a wing anyways. Taste it. Now, if you want, add a tablespoon of unsalted butter and stir. Taste. Good? Stop. Want more butter? Keep going. You’ll find that perfect balance that works for you. Just remember for the next time you make these great wings!

Honey Cholula Wings

This Cholula Original Hot Sauce-based wing sauce is the perfect sauce for chicken wings. A little sweet, a little heat. As much as I like traditional Buffalo wing flavors, honey Cholula wings are a welcome change. The hot sauce does not overwhelm, and that’s just what I was looking for. Well that and some sweetness.

Honey Cholula Wings

The Perfect Sweet Heat

Sure, you can use other hot sauces when you make honey Cholula wings. I really like Cholula for the flavor and the amount of heat. It’s spicy, but not too spicy. It’s not screaming hot. I think it’s a great middle-of-the-road hot sauce and a pleasure to eat!

In A Hurry? Don’t Worry

If you’re in a hurry you can skip the marinade. Just cook the wings, and while they’re cooking, make the sauce. Keep the sauce warm until the wings are done. If you end up with leftover sauce, just make sure you set it out 30 minutes or so before you start the wings so it starts to soften. You can also microwave it for 10-15 seconds.

Holy Garlic Dry Wings

The fine folks over at Fire and Smoke Society ain’t messin’ around. When they say that this all-purpose blend is blessed by Garlic Lovers you know they’re telling the truth. But these Holy Garlic dry wings aren’t just about garlic. Charcoal, chiles, brown sugar and plenty of ground black pepper join the party to make for a fantastic seasoning for wings, be they dry or wet. Me, I went dry so I could enjoy every bite of chicken and the seasoning without ‘fighting’ a sauce.

Holy Garlic! Wings

More Garlic Flavor is More Better

My Holy Garlic dry wings were made in an air fryer. You can cook them any way you want, just don’t be shy with the spices. I put a little of the delicious seasoning on the wings before cooking the wings. Then when they were cooked to perfection, I went to town with some more seasoning. The wonderful aroma of garlic filled the house. It was time to chow down on some delicious wings! And I did!

Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings

If you’re not a fan of oven-cooked wings, these Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch wings are definitely going to make a fan out of you and quick. They did me. I’m usually a fried wing kinda guy. But these wings not only came out juicy and crazy flavorful, the skins were perfectly crunchy to boot. These are very addicting wings and they’re so easy there’s no excuse to not make them. Often.

Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings

Flavor-Packed Baked Wings

The packet of seasoning for Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings says it makes 2 pounds of wings. But it also says that for more flavor, use only 1 pound of wings. That’s the route I went. I figured, why would I want less flavor? Well, flavor is exactly what I got. So I recommend going the 1 pound route.

Of course, if you want to serve your wings with a dipping sauce, you’ll have to use Hidden Valley Ranch dressing!

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!
