The Magic of De Jonghe Seasoning
De Jonghe Seasoning isn’t just a seasoning—it’s a culinary experience. Crafted with a legacy of rich flavors, this blend takes inspiration from the famed Golden Steer Steakhouse, known for serving legends like Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe. Infused with robust spices and a refined touch of garlic and herbs, it’s the key to elevating everyday meals into something extraordinary.
Pairing it with Guinness-marinated wings brings out its full potential, enhancing the flavors with a deep, aromatic warmth that lingers on the palate. It’s the perfect blend of sophistication and comfort—ideal for a St. Patrick’s Day feast.
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken wings
- 1 cup Guinness beer
- 2 tablespoons De Jonghe Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 tablespoons Sergio's Seasoning
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Marinate the Wings: In a large bowl, whisk together Guinness, De Jonghe Seasoning, olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken wings and toss to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully infuse.
- Prepare for Cooking: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (or set your oven to 400°F). If using a grill, lightly oil the grates to prevent sticking.

Cook the Wings:
- Grill Method: Place wings on the grill and cook for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until they develop a charred, crispy exterior and reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Oven Method: Arrange wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet and bake for 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. For extra crispiness, broil for the last 2-3 minutes.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot. Pair with a chilled pint of Guinness for the ultimate St. Patrick’s Day experience.
- Enjoy!
