Swear to gawd that some of the best wings I ever had were some of the simplest. Just a mixture of Old Bay and Lowry's on some wings, then grilled. Finished off with a squeeze of lemon. Perfection.

Old Bay is a great utility spice mix. Try Sazon Goya next.

The Patriarch of some family friends of ours made these shrimp every Christmas Eve that were pretty much just old bay and were easily the best I've had.

Ditto Goya Adobo con Comino (the one with the blue cap).

I use Old Bay on my wings and a few other things like seafood. Great stuff. I do like Al and cover my wings with the OB and Lowry's then bake them until they're crispy. I'll have to try Sazon Goya.

Goes great with corn on the cob and french fries.

Mick,

I get the crispy part, but what temp and ball park a length of time. We coat our wings with self rising floor and the wife fries them. Big messy pain the ass. Tastes good but your versions sounds clean and easy.
Thanks

Slow and low is the key to good grilled wings IMO. I put mine on the grill for about an hour/90 min. on low heat (275 or so). You can tell drums are done when the skin at the bottom pulls away from the bone. Oh yeah, turn them every fifteen minutes or so.

Old Bay and butter with lemon and orange slices makes the best steelhead.

When we moved out west we packed a large stash of Old Bay. But not to fear, I guess you can get it everywhere now.
