Gotta be honest, I wasn’t really exciting about this lineup. Haven’t had great experiences with seasonings when I’ve tried them. One fell below my expectations, one rose above. And the Caribbean Jerk remains one of my favorites.

Salt and Vinegar Seasoning

“With this seasoning, it’s all in the name.”

Things I like: salt and vinegar chips, salt and vinegar fries, salt and vinegar other stuff. I like Salt and vinegar. It’s a wonderful combination of flavors to liven up a variety of otherwise bland dishes.

But this version of Salt and Vinegar, listed as the mildest flavor on the menu, is not livening anything up. It is boring. Once every few bites, I could detect a very mild vinegary tang, but most of the time it was just a mild salt flavor. Even when I tried to eat the seasoning at the bottom of the container with my finger, I found myself disappointed.

Chipotle BBQ Seasoning

Fire-roasted chipotle pepper and BBQ flavors.

Listed as the 8th mildest flavor on the menu, I was surprised to find that this Chipotle BBQ seasoning packs a substantial amount of heat. In addition, there was a nice smokiness to the wings as well. This seasoning is really good.

I’m not normally a fan of BBQ sauces on my fried wings, but I consider these to be an exception. When you read BBQ in this title, think more “spicy steak seasoning” and less “actual BBQ”.

Caribbean Jerk

Red peppers you love, island spices you crave: An exotic, delicious sauce.

Caribbean Jerk has always been one of my BWW go-to choices. While it’s listed as the 7th spiciest flavor on the menu, there is almost no spice up front. It’s almost sweet. I don’t think jerk seasoning is supposed to be sweet or fruity (at least, those words aren’t mentioned as descriptors on a wikipedia page on the subject) but it is very tasty.

The heat does show up on the back-end, and it is both welcome and manageable. It may not be authentically caribbean jerky, and I don’t know what that means or tastes like, but these are very good.
