Chef Carniel Levy Brings the Heat with Qualiko Dragon Feast Wings and House of Sauce

Chef Carniel Levy, Chef Patron of House of Sauce, has put his signature Caribbean-inspired twist on Qualiko Dragon Feast Steam Cooked Chicken Wings, creating a mouth-watering dish of Scotch Bonnet BBQ Hot Honey Wings that combines smoky barbecue flavours, fiery Scotch bonnet chilli and a glossy, sweet honey glaze.

Working in collaboration with Qualiko UK – Everything Poultry and The Chefs’ Forum, Carniel demonstrated how quality, convenience and culinary creativity can work hand in hand to help professional kitchens deliver exceptional dishes while protecting valuable margins.

Taking the Pressure Off Professional Kitchens

With rising labour costs, increasing operational pressures and the need for consistent quality, chefs are continually seeking innovative ways to streamline kitchen operations without compromising flavour.

Qualiko Dragon Feast Steam-Cooked Chicken Wings offer a practical solution. By removing much of the preparation and initial cooking, the product allows chefs to focus on what matters most: flavour development, presentation and customer satisfaction.

For Carniel, this provides an opportunity to introduce exciting, culturally inspired dishes to busy foodservice environments, from pubs and restaurants to quick-service restaurants and high-volume hospitality operations.

Carniel said

“As chefs, we’re constantly looking for ways to reduce labour intensity without compromising quality or flavour. Qualiko Dragon Feast Wings significantly cuts preparation time, freeing us to focus on creating incredible dishes that customers genuinely love. There’s real margin potential here because we’re saving on labour, reducing waste and delivering consistency every time. Ultimately, it’s about keeping guests happy and coming back for more. For me, Qualiko is definitely the way forward!”

The Dish: Scotch Bonnet BBQ Hot Honey Wings

Carniel’s recipe brings together the distinctive flavours of Caribbean cooking with the growing popularity of hot honey across the UK hospitality and QSR sectors.

The wings are seasoned with aromatic allspice, smoked paprika, thyme and garlic, before being finished with a rich Scotch Bonnet hot honey glaze. Check out the recipe HERE.

The result is a beautifully balanced combination of savoury seasoning, barbecue smokiness, fruity chilli heat and honey sweetness.

Using Qualiko Dragon Feast Steam Cooked Wings as the foundation allows professional kitchens to recreate this dish with reduced cooking time, excellent portion consistency and minimal preparation.
