For many a year I have turned to these frozen wings. While they aren't giant (but what frozen wings are?) they do have lots of flavour and the meat isn't grizzley or tough. There are about 22 in a package and they run from about $9-12 depending on the store you buy them.
You can microwave them if your looking for convenience, but I prefer the baking method. After 20-40 mins these are ready to serve (NOTE: I don't know why the picture on the box has them being served with what looked like some Thai sauce to be dipped - but why? WHY I ASK?)
- 2 large baking potatoes
- olive oil
- salt
- pepper
- garlic powder
- red garlic powder
- wash potatoes, cut into wedges
- place wedges in ice water for 1 hour (or 30 mins minimum)
- in a bowl, mix all other ingredients making almost a paste
- when potatoes begin to float, pat dry, then mix in seasonings
- place on a baking sheet and cook approx 40 mins on 350
So how did it all turn out? The wings were crispy, juicy and flavourful. The Windsor Wedges were also crispy but soft on the outside and the red chili powder left quite an after-kick. The dip and pita wedges were ok, but mainly blaw and cooled down way too quickly.
So how did I rate the wings? Well, you can probably tell they did well. Hot & Spicy has more heat than other brands, but not the level I would like it to be. But as far as I can tell, these wings are the best you can get frozen at the grocery store. Prove me wrong other brands, prove me wrong.
So how many times can I say So to start a sentence? Well, 3 I guess. No Name Hot & Spicy Wings, 5 out of 5 wings in the category of Frozen Wings.

I agree completely. How the other brands can't reach the same level as these NN wings I'll never understand ??
That was then . Now in 2018 they include 2 sacs of sauce , which is included in the 902g weight . This means there are about 10 less wings in the package , and the wings are already coated in sauce. A ripoff IMHO.
@watchdog - thanks for posting; funny you mention this, I just did a review this week covering that exact issue: https://lordofthewings.blogspot.ca/2018/05/no-name-buffalo-chicken-wings-frozen.html
