Braswell’s Spicy Hot Wings

I could wings using a lot of different techniques and tools, but the air fryer is probably most common just because it’s fast and easy and is perfect for making a batch of wings just for myself. It’s as simple as seasoning them, cooking them, and saucing them. Today I made a batch of Braswell’s Spicy Hot wings. Kind of a traditional Buffalo wing sauce, it made for the perfect lunchtime wings. A little kick. Tremendous flavor. What more could I ask for?

Traditions Last

These Braswell’s Spicy Hot wings are a nice nod to the classic Buffalo wing sauces. Vinegary. A little thin (that’s not a downer, that’s just what vinegar is like!). Fantastic seasoning with a wonderful slightly different taste. The heat level isn’t very high. I’d call them sorta spicy. Spicy-ish? Depends on your level of heat tolerance, though. Some might say they’re quite spicy. So if you’re serving these to your pals, ya might want to give them a heads up first!

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 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 use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!

Ingredients

6 chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
½ teaspoon baking powder not baking soda
1 teaspoon Your favorite wing seasoning or more. avoid seasonings containing sugar
Braswell’s Spicy Hot Wing Sauce warmed, if refrigerated

Instructions

Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer’s recommendation.
Combine the baking powder and wing seasoning. 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.

Easy Steakhouse Wings

I actually surprised myself. I was not expecting to fall in love with these easy steakhouse wings. Heck, I thought they’d be too ‘steak-saucy’. You know, like that time as a kid when you dumped half a bottle of steak sauce on your steak at Howard Johnsons. Ok, maybe that was just me. But still, too much steak sauce is…. too much… for me. But not here. I loved these wings. I went light on the sauce and the flavor came out perfect. I never ever would’ve thought this would work but it did.

It’s ok to think you might not like these. But trust me. There’s a really good chance that you’re wrong!

Air-Fried Wings Or Whatever Wings

I made a batch of my standard air-fried wings when I made some easy steakhouse wings for lunch. You can also toss them into the oven at 400 F for 30-40 minutes. Or deep fry them. Whatever you want. The key here is to make wings that aren’t going to ‘fight’ the steak sauce. No fancy seasonings. Keep it simple. Salt and pepper is all you need. Just like cooking a steak, fancy is not required.

Make sure you grab a steak sauce that you know and love. One you trust. Your favorite. And it does not need to be expensive. Me, I went with Heinz 57. It’s tied with A-1 as my usual. Either works great. So do store-name sauces.

You can go a little or a lot on the steak sauce. Heck, if you want to sauce them like you would Buffalo wings, go for it. And if you need blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side for dipping, by all means do that too!
