Nashville Hot Wings

Nashville Hot Wings are easy to make -- all you need is Wing Dust.

Who doesn't love wings? Actually, I hate to ask that rhetorical question, because, quite frankly, I don't want to know who doesn't like wings. Not liking wings is akin to not enjoying music or films. Of course, there's plenty of people out there who have yet to have a great chicken wing. And luckily, with Kosmo's Q Wing Dust, it doesn't get any easier to achieve just that.



The instructions for making wings with Wing Dust is incredibly easy. Simply cook your wings naked (no seasoning, no brine, etc), remove from the grill, sprinkle on the dust, toss the wings, and watch the magic happen. Below I've got whole wings being seared over direct heat on the Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill. I simply took the wings out of the package and threw them whole on a hot grill, turning and rotating them to get an even cook until they reach a minimum internal temperature of 165°F. And because wings are so boney and fatty, they get a little more tender if you take them up to 175°F.



After they're properly cooked with the color and grill marks I like (that took all of 10 minutes, maybe?), I get a big bowl together and sprinkle on as much Wing Dust as I prefer. It really doesn't take much to get a big flavor impact. In fact, one bag is enough for over 100 wings! That is potential, y'all!



Once you start tossing the wings, the natural fatty juices coming off the chicken begin combining with the dust, creating a sauce that perfectly adheres to the wing. The Nashville Hot flavor has a really great, creeping heat level and combines sweetness with a buttery edge.



Luckily, the same principle and theory apply to all of Kosmo's Q Wing Dust flavors. Simply "Cook 'em naked!" and "Dust 'em up!" Even better, each flavor comes with great recipe suggestions to expand outside of the realm of wings. Because this product dissolves and melds so well into anything with a little moisture, it is extremely versatile. In fact, you can read up on a couple of other recipes where I use the Nashville Hot Wing Dust HERE!

Kosmo's Q Nashville Hot Wing Dust

Here at All Things Barbecue, we all absolutely adore this new product: Kosmo's Q Wing Dust. Why? Because not only is each flavor absolutely delicious, but they are also incredibly versatile. Sure, it says "wing" on the package, but each bag comes with more recipe suggestions to get the most out of each flavor. I went ahead and developed recipes just for you featuring their Nashville Hot flavor, one of our best sellers. If you're already familiar with this product, you already know just how great it is. Not only is it versatile, but it's economically friendly (a little goes a long way) and it's shelf-stable, meaning it will last in your pantry a lot longer than an opened bottle of wing sauce.






Nashville Hot Elote


What better way to counteract the creeping heat level of this Nashville Hot Wing Dust with the sweetness of grilled corn? Elote is a Mexican street food featuring freshly-grilled corn drenched in a creamy base with chile, lime, and plenty of salty cotija cheese!

Pub cheese is a beer and cheese dip that's normally served with a fresh pint at the pub. Well, now you can bring the pub to your home if you've got a food processor or blender handy. Even better, this recipe works with almost all of the Wing Dust flavors, making it open for your creative interpretation!

Nashville Hot Wings

The Kamado Joe King Wing

[responsive_youtube MyE1656P4pA]

Chef Eric Gephart is back with a new recipe... this time it's the Kamado Joe King Wing. This is a whole wing recipe that is sure to impress your friends and family.



The Kamado Joe King Wing






Ingredients




  • whole chicken wings, tip removed

  • 16 oz. pickled jalapeños

  • 32 oz. Dale's Steak Seasoning



Poblano Pepper Ranch Dressing


  • 4 Poblano peppers, charred

  • prepared ranch dressing



King Wing Slaw


  • celery

  • carrot

  • shallots

  • blue cheese crumbles

  • blue cheese dressing



Instructions



Preheat your Kamado Joe Big Joe II to 300ºF, set up for direct grilling.



Remove the tips from the chicken wings with a sharp knife. We will leave the flat and drumettes intact for this recipe.



Combine the Dale's Steak seasoning and pickled jalapeños in a KitchenAid Food Processor, and blitz it to combine the ingredients. Place the chicken wings in a  food safe container and cover with the marinade. Place in the refrigerator for three hours.



*Do not exceed three hours as the wings will take on too much salt and dry out.



While the wings are marinating place place your poblano peppers directly on the coals of the Kamado Joe. We want the skin to start to char and blister, turning them as needed. Once the skin has blistered all over pull them from the charcoal and place them in a glass bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Wait ten minutes for them to steam and then remove the skin and seeds. Rough chop the peppers and combine in your food processor with prepared ranch dressing.



Place the deflector shields into your Kamado Joe Big Joe to switch from direct to indirect grilling. Pull the wings from the marinade and put them skin side down on the grates.

While the wings cook combine the slaw ingredients and set it aside.
