Wings!

[Boone]

It's that time of the year. Big time NFL football requires wings.

What's your poison?

How do you prepare them - fried, baked, grilled, smoked?

Favorite sauces?

I gots to know.

I'm kind of a minimalist when it comes to wings. I have done them all kinds of ways, but for me, chicken wings are all about the seasonings and sauce. I don't need fried wings. You could batter and fry a cat turd and folks would eat it. Today I got 3 packs of pre-cut wings, tossed them with some garlic powder, onion powder, green salt, black pepper, and a good chili powder and let them sit in the fridge for a few hours. Air-fried them and tossed them with a few tablespoons of butter and sauce. I used Frank's Buffalo sauce on half of them, Moore's on the other. I think I prefer Franks but they were both good.

Seasoned and baked then lathered with Sweet Baby Ray’s wing sauce.

I’m a fan of their BBQ sauce but have never tried their wing sauce

Recently I’ve started grilling mine, then hitting them with a dry rub and air frying for about 5 min to give a bit of texture to the crust

Do you sauce them?

Do you sauce them?

You can.

Personally I lean more toward a dry wing that I dip, instead of a wing thats coated in sauce... just my preference.

I also marinate mine which adds a layer of flavor. Italian Seasoning, Soy Sauce, Worchestershire sauce, Buffalo sauce, Ranch dressing.

I like 'em in pretty much any way, shape or form and I prefer the flats.
We rarely eat them anymore but, when we do, I go the easy way....Hooter's breading and a mixture of Hooter's Hot & 3-Mile Island hot sauces cook 'em in the air-fryer. The breading is really good....very light...not like the batter-dipped wings served at the restaurants.
If I'm not feeling Buffalo style, which is rare, I'll shake them in Old Bay. I always serve them with a side of ranch and celery too.

As an aside....the best Buffalo style wings that we ever had were in Buffalo, (no surprise there), and it was not at the Anchor Bar. At the advice of more than one local, (and the 350+lb Uber driver ) we went to Gabriel's Gate. They were insanely good.

We have that here in NC. We call it ‘fried chicken’.

Ya, but without breading ?

I cook them in the air fryer then either use Capital City Mambo sauce, buffalo garlic Parmesan sauce or J.O. Crab seasoning.

Naked and traditional sauce with Bleu cheese

I like to season them with old bay and smoke them in the pellet smoker, 350 degrees for extra crispy skin.

Somewhat wing related, I’ll be making cured and smoked turkey legs this thanksgiving.

Disney Style Smoked Turkey Legs - Ben's Ramblings

If you have ever been to Disney's Frontierland, or a renaissance fair and have had one of the monstrous turkey legs they sell there, this is a copycat of those recipes. These turkey legs are to die for. They don't taste like turkey, more like ham.

My son comes over most Sundays for the game, and wings is our most common go to. Season, bake, whatever sauce is available in the fridge, like a mix of Japanese BBQ sauce and baby rays, spray them with a little Pam on top for a little more crisper texture

Good stuff CobraCommander

I used to smoke the breasts wrapped in bacon and finished on the grill with BBQ. Marinated the breasts overnight in a parsley sage rosemary thyme and garlic pesto before the bacon wrap
