HUNT VALLEY, Md. — Americans eat more than 27 billion wings each year, and wings are the most popular appetizer on all restaurant menus[1] 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.
The new Lawry’s Wings & Things Seasoning Mix product line includes:
