Americans eat more than 27 billion wings each year, and wings are the most popular appetizer on all restaurant menus according to Datassential Menu Trends. To help chefs and operators meet diners’ demand for more variety in wings, McCormick For Chefs, the Food Away From Home division of McCormick & Company, announces a new line of Lawry’s Wings & Things Seasoning Mixes. They are available now in four versatile, on-trend flavors for foodservice: Mango Habanero, Spicy Buffalo, Sriracha and Zesty Lemon & Pepper.
Lawry’s Wings & Things features and benefits include:
- VERSATILE – Can be used straight out of the bottle for a dry-seasoned wing with even coverage, or chefs can simply add water to make a wet sauce. They are also ideal flavor enhancers for menu items beyond wings, including proteins, vegetables and more.
- EASY TO USE – No change in existing wing prep method—simply cook and toss in flavor to customize.
- COST-EFFECTIVE – Depending on flavor, one bottle seasons 65 to 89 pounds of wings.
- CONVENIENT – Allows for easy customization and expansion of the menu; dry seasoning requires no refrigeration and takes up very little shelf space.
