Crispy Woodfired Garlic Dry Wings

I made some delicious dry wings the other day using Kinder’s woodfired garlic rub. Man, were they ever insanely good. I fell in love with the roasted garlic flavor. Mixed with other spices, it’s a rich seasoning that is great on any meat. I was craving some deep-fried wings next, so I decided to add some of the seasoning and make my crispy woodfired garlic dry wings. And boy, did they ever deliver on flavor!

Crispy Woodfired Garlic Wings

Easy. Crunchy. And Tasty.

These crispy woodfired garlic dry wings took no time to prepare and cook. And eat for that matter. Kinder’s seasonings and sauces never disappoint. They don’t cut corners when it comes to quality and flavor. All I had to do was mix a little of this packed-with-roasted garlic seasoning with some flour and coat some wings. I let them ‘get happy’ in the fridge for 30 minutes. Then I fried them. That’s it. That’s all it takes to make perfect wings.

Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle Dry Wings

Wow. Just wow. I’ve had my share of different flavors of dry wings but these Kinder’s black cherry chipotle wings are different and then some. Tart and sweet, I could not stop eating them. No sauce required. No Ranch or blue cheese dressing required. Just good ole wings and seasoning. I used an air fryer but you can cook them any way you like. Just make sure to load them up on the seasoning because they are delicious.

Head To The Spice Aisle

I found this seasoning near a bunch of other seasonings in the store. It wasn’t the ‘Wing Section’ of the store either. This is why it pays to look around and think to yourself ‘would that be good on wings?’. The answer is often yes. It was a definite ‘yes’ when it came to these Kinder’s black cherry chipotle dry wings.

Surprise!

If you’re looking to get some looks of happiness and surprise, serve these wings next time you’re watching the big game with friends. They’ll be more than pleasantly surprised at just how good and different they are.

Ranch Wings

I recently spent a few days in lovely Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania while attending a conference. I made sure I had my ‘to-eat’ list down before leaving, because one thing you can be sure of finding in Pittsburgh: good food. At the top of my list was dry Ranch chicken wings.

No, not dry like ‘ewww, this meat is dry’. Dry as in the wings aren’t tossed in sauce after being cooked. Instead they are dusted with seasoning. The end result is almost like roasted chicken, but with much more pronounced flavors. Now that we are back home, I had to make some of the favorites that I devoured in Pittsburgh, like these wings, which I first experienced in our hotel bar.

Ranch Wings

The Perfect Dry Wings

I went with Ranch dressing for the dipping sauce for these wings, but seriously, you can eat them dry, as-is, with no sauce. There’s no need to drown them in sauce, the flavor stands on its own.

Kinder’s Sticky Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

If you have some BBQ sauce and wings on hand, you’re good-to-go. Just cook up those wings, and toss them in the sauce. Wings don’t have to be all Buffalo-style every time. Change it up. One of my favorite ways to do things a little different is to grab whatever BBQ sauce I have sitting around. There’s usually a number of them, too. This time I made some Kinder’s Sticky Honey BBQ sauce wings. This is some good sauce, and it makes for some good wings!

Kinder's Sticky Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

Sweet And Tasty

You know there’s honey in it, so you these Kinder’s Sticky Honey BBQ sauce wings are gonna be on the sweet side. I like sweet wings. Now, if you’re thinking you want a bit of a kick to yours too, add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce to the BBQ sauce first, then sauce your wings. Or keep them sweet like I did.

You almost always get messy when you eat wings. That’s why I didn’t let the ‘sticky’ part worry. Heck it can be as sticky and as messy as it wants to be. In fact, the more of both the better.

Just Make Some Wings

I’m gonna say it doesn’t really matter how you cook your wings here. But it kinda does. Don’t season your wings with anything that ends up ‘fighting’ with this sauce. Sure, a little salt and pepper are ok. And even a bit of cayenne if you want some heat. But nothing so overwhelming that it changes the taste of the sauce or worse, completely overwhelms it. Enjoy the sauce. That’s why you bought it!

Backyard BBQ Wings

These Backyard BBQ wings bring back memories. Memories of years ago, as a kid, enjoying those classic neighborhood grill-outs. The dads gathered around charcoal grills, the moms chatting away in a circle of lawn chairs. Us kids playing, running all over the place and even getting yelled out when we came to close to the grill.

Backyard BBQ Wings

Every Bite A Memory

There’s nothing I would change about Backyard BBQ wings. They’re easy to make. They come out juicy, tender and delicious. And they remind me of that grilled barbecue chicken from long ago.

You’d find mostly grilled chicken and burgers at these cook-outs. The chicken would be heavily brushed in BBQ sauce. Like these wings. Same great flavors as back then, but on delicious wings instead.

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!

Pretty Thai Muay Thai Sauce Wings

These Pretty Thai Muay Thai sauce wings are exactly why it pays to wander around your grocery store with an eye out for anything that might make good on wings. I picked up some of the Pretty Thai sauces in the Asian section. Sure, I had stir-fry on the brain too, but first and foremost I thought of only one thing. Wings. So I made up a quick batch of easy wings, tossed them in some sauce and got to it!

Pretty Thai Muay Thai Wings

Get Funky With It

These Pretty Thai Muay Thai sauce wings have a nice lip-tingling citrus tang that you get pretty early on. And there’s a little of that great fish sauce ‘funkiness’. That umami flavor you don’t find much anywhere else. And oh yes, a bit of heat from Thai chili. It’s got a nice spice level to it, I really liked it.

This sauce may seem a little thin. It was meant for stir-fry and the like. But it works just fine on wings.

Lillie’s Q BBQ Aioli Sauce Wings

Yee-yowsa! You’re talking about some great wings here. I devoured my plate of Lillie’s Q BBQ aioli sauce wings. Boy I really wish I’d made more. This BBQ and mustard sauce hit the spot for me. It’s a creamy sauce. Not one of them traditional vinegary ones. It’s a wonderful mayonnaise concoction. A combination of a lightly smoky BBQ sauce and mustard. But not too much of either. You know how mustard can get .. … too mustardy? Well not here. It’s perfect. I could just pour this sauce in a bowl and grab a spoon it’s just that good.

Tender Sauce

I know the bottle says ‘tender sauce’. But when I hear chicken tenders, I think chicken wings instead. Good call on my part because tossing some hot wings in this sauce was brilliant. If you’re looking for something different, something creamy, make some Lillie’s Q BBQ aioli sauce wings. But make sure you make plenty of them, because they’ll disappear like that!

Kinder’s Thai BBQ Sauce Wings

Go to the grocery store. Buy a family pack of wings. Buy a bottle of Kinder’s Thai BBQ sauce. Prepare the wings. Cook the wings. Doesn’t really matter how you cook them. Sauce them. Get that sauce all over them. Devour. Lick your fingers. Lick the plate. Make moaning sounds. That’s what you do with Kinder’s Thai BBQ sauce wings. Because the sauce is incredible.

Kinder's Thai BBQ Wings

Asian-Inspired Wing Greatness

Every bite of Kinder’s Thai BBQ sauce wings is fantastic. The sauce is rich. It’s thick. Stick-to-your wings thick. There’s soy sauce. A bit of lemongrass. Hints of ginger. Chili sauce. It’s kinda sweet but it’s balanced perfectly. Got extra sauce? Put it on some grilled shrimp. Squirt it into a stir-fry. This is one great sauce that has a lot of uses. But for me, it’s flat out great on wings!

Wahlburgers Wahl Sauce Wings

Yep, I made Wahlburgers Wahl sauce wings. I grabbed a bottle of Wahlburgers Wahl sauce on a whim. Of course, I used it on burgers first and wow, it was good. It didn’t take me long to think about putting it on wings. This sauce is a lightly ketchupy, mayonnaise sauce with the slight hint of spiciness. It’s a great all-round sauce, for anything from burgers to wings to fries, but for me, it’s a real winner on wings.

A Hint Of Heat In A Creamy Good Sauce

This is not my first time devouring wings covered in a creamy sauce containing mayonnaise. My Alabama white sauce wings are crazy good. It might seem odd to have mayonnaise on wings, but trust me, it’s good. Wahlburger Wahl sauce has other yummy stuff in it besides mayonnaise. It has a great flavor, and doesn’t overpower anyone with spiciness.

Cajun Power Garlic Sauce Wings

I’ve been a huge fan of Cajun Power Garlic Sauce for years. I seriously don’t know why I waited so long to use it as both a chicken wing marinade and sauce. I loved these Cajun Power Garlic Sauce wings. Seasoned perfectly. A little garlicky. Nice and rich and super yummy.

More Sauce is More Better

I loved these Cajun Power Garlic Sauce wings. But guess what? Cajun Power also makes Cajun Power Spicy Garlic Sauce. Perfect for your friends (like me) that prefer their wings nice and hot! It’s not crazy spicy, but it packs a nice heat.

You can’t put enough Cajun Power Garlic Sauce on your cooked wings. I’ve tried and it’s not possible. It’s also great for dipping wings instead of your usual cooling dips like blue cheese or ranch dressing.
