Traders Joe's Hot & Spicy Chicken Wings

It wasn’t that long ago that the wings of a chicken were regarded as parts to be discarded. But, in an unexpected turnover, the chicken wing has intercepted the top spot for beloved bar nosh and ubiquitous sports-watching snacks. Now, Trader Joe’s brings our own version of wings to the table (or bar top). Our new Hot & Spicy Chicken Wings have a list of stats that will make it hard—if not impossible—to catch a game without wanting them close-at-hand.

Here’s what makes our Wings soar above local pub grub: First, they come from vegetarian chickens. That means our California-grown birds are raised on a balanced diet of corn and soybean meal. They are never fed animal fat or animal by-products. Second, our Wings are 100% antibiotic-free (ABF). This is especially notable, since Trader Joe’s is currently the only retailer selling completely ABF, hot and spicy wings. Third, our Wings are super easy to prepare. They’ve been fully cooked and promptly frozen. This means they’re ready to heat at a moment’s notice, in the microwave or conventional oven. 

Like the original Buffalo wings, ours are “sectioned” (cut in half), and covered in a spicy sauce made from vinegar, cayenne peppers, and chile pepper extract. These bite- (or three) sized snacks are the perfect finger- food. Spray canola oil on your baking tray for extra-crispy wings. And, be sure to have some cool dip at the ready. Try our Organic Ranch Dressing as the perfect foil for the spicy, vinegary sauce—with a handful of Cut & Peeled Baby Carrots on the side.
