Ingredients
Spicy BBQ Wings
- 16 chicken wings thawed
- 2 tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2-2/3 cup Old Smokey Beard's Lil' Spicy Blend BBQ Sauce (depends on size of wings)
Cheesy Cauliflower Mac
- 2 cups cooked cauliflower roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For Spicy BBQ Wings
- Mix paprika, garlic powder, and salt and pepper together and toss wings in seasonings so evenly coated.
- Place wings in an air fryer. Tip: Using a double layer rack will allow the wings to be arranged evenly spaced and able to cook thoroughly on all sides.
- Use air fryer's chicken setting or cook for about 20-25 minutes at 350 degrees or until chicken fully cooked and crispy. (If using an oven to bake instead, follow cooking instructions on the bag of wings.)
- While wings cook, make cauliflower mac. When wings are done, toss them in a bowl with Old Smokey Beard's BBQ sauce Lil Spicy Blend until evenly coated. Divide wings and enjoy! 8 wings yield 1 serving.
For Cauliflower Mac
- In a saucepan, heat heavy whipping cream, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Bring to a slight boil and turn off.
- Add cheddar cheese to the heavy whipping cream mixture and stir until shredded cheese is melted. Toss warmed, cooked cauliflower and coat thoroughly.
- For a little extra kick, try some crushed red pepper tossed in. 1 cup yields 1 serving.
