Trashed Wings

[splinervision]

My wife hates anything with heat, so I am limited or have to make hers separate. Having said that lately we've been using this stuff we find at Wal-Mart and at Academy sports:

Kosmos Honey Killer Bee

I can't really detect any heat, but she says it has just the right amount. It's so darn good on wings that I don't really care if it has any heat. I also don't care if I use sauce or not with that stuff.

If I want some spicy wings, I'll still use that rub but finish with a bit of my favorite BBQ sauce with a bit of added cayenne and leave hers with just the rub. But honestly, I don't bother most the time they are so good with that stuff.

FYI: On their website www.kosmosq.com they are having a sale on that very rub, I ordered 2 1-lb bags of it for around $24. We like it that much. Great on turkey as well. We've been smoking boneless turkey breasts slathered in that rub lately as well.

The Honey Killer Bee is based on sugar, salt and dehydrated honey. It has some other spices, but does not have anything to bring the heat.

There are a number of other rubs designed for chicken or pork that have limited heat. That makes makes them ideal for use on chicken, pork, fish, seafood, and vegetables.
One common seasoning is Old Bay. Although it is usually considered to be a seasoning for seafood, it works just as well on vegetables, chicken and pork. I have not tried it on beef. Old Bay is what I use when grilling corn on the cob. It does have some red pepper, but the heat is mild, so I like it even though I am not a fan of hot, spicy foods.

You can go with a bunch of different big names in the BBQ world and you'll find tons of great options. My personal favorite is buying Buffalo Wild Wings' buffalo dry rub (can buy them at their restaurants) and using it on my Traeger wings. It has some heat, and if you want to keep it mild for the wife, just use less. If you want it hotter, add some extra to yours. Its also best to put it on after the cook and toss it around in a collinder.

I like B’dubs dry rub Buffalo, but never thought to see if they would sell it solo. Great tip!
