Fusion
These TKO Wings are a knockout fusion of global flavors and fiery finesse. Smoked to golden perfection and then deep-fried for the ultimate crunch, the wings are drenched in a bold, umami-packed sauce featuring Melinda’s Chipotle and Japanese BBQ sauces, white miso, and a buttery touch of Mexican sour cream. Heavily seasoned with a trio of powerful rubs — Heath Riles Garlic Jalapeño, JDQ Sweet Garlic, and Blazing Star Scorpion — and enriched with a savory marinade, these wings hit every note from smoky to spicy to savory. Garnished with fresh chives and melty smoked gouda, this dish is the perfect showstopper for game day or a flavor-forward feast.
