On the Mild Side

• Mild hot wing seasonings add just a hint of spice to hot wings. Rub the wings with garlic salt and black pepper for a classic taste. Marinate chicken wings in a mellow salsa for a whisper of fire. For wings with a sweet and spicy twist, brush the chicken with a mixture of tomato sauce, celery seed, dried parsley, dried basil and black pepper. Sprinkle hot wings with onion powder and yellow curry powder to use heavy spices without making the wings "spicy." Give wings a mellow undertone of fire with a ketchup, mayonnaise and garlic paste sauce.

All Things in Moderation

• Moderately spicy seasonings are hot enough to add some fire, but not so hot that they burn your mouth. Try coating the wings with a spicy brown mustard and honey glaze. For a zestier snack, dust hot wings with ancho chili powder, sweet paprika, white pepper and lemon pepper. Sprinkle hot wings with ground cloves, ground ginger and fennel seed for a sharp taste. Marinate the wings for an hour or two in a mixture of teriyaki sauce, lemon juice, ground cardamom, ground cumin and chili powder to infuse the wings with flavor. Combine melted butter, tomato paste, white wine vinegar, smoked paprika and chipotle powder to create a tangy sauce.

Savor the Sizzle

• Very spicy seasonings add enough fire to your tongue to make it sizzle, but not burn away. Sprinkle chicken wings with chili powder, smoked chipotle pepper, hot paprika, ground cumin and smoked salt to create an outdoorsy punch of flavor. Give the wings an earthy kick with dried oregano, hot chili powder, garlic powder, Serrano powder and celery salt rub. Simmer a mixture of roasted garlic paste, orange juice, red pepper, white pepper, black pepper, onion salt and cornstarch until moderately thick to create a peppery glaze for the wings. Sauce the wings with a mixture of prepared horseradish, garlic paste and mayonnaise for a sharp, nasal-clearing flavor.

Burn Down the House

• Fiery seasonings turn your tongue to ash a few seconds after they deliver a powerful kick of flavor. Dust the wings with cayenne pepper, habanero powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder and onion salt for some smoky heat. Coat the wings with a mix of soy sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, ginger powder, white pepper, ground mustard seed, red curry powder and turmeric powder to give the chicken a fiery flavor with a hint of salty and tangy tastes. Marinate hot wings in a pureed mixture of chicken broth, red pepper sauce, diced jalapenos, fresh cilantro, tomato paste, garlic paste and black pepper to create a Mexican-style dish with bite. Add a flash of flames to the wings with a sauce made from melted butter, ketchup, lemon juice, jalapeno sauce, hot paprika, hot chili powder, dried oregano and dried parsley.
