Oh man. My goodness. You talk about great tasting wings. These arbol chili and garlic wings were different and very, very tasty. The sauce is a wonderful blend of chiles, garlic and just enough jalapeno to give it a mild kick. A great kick. And oh such a great flavor. Southwestern-inspired, I would almost call this sauce an enchilada or taco sauce. And it’s fantastic on wings.

Perfect Heat

I mix the sauce with a little butter. Honestly, though, you can just drizzle it on your wings directly without it. Arbol chili and garlic wings are great either way. If it’s your first time making them I’d suggest you start out slow. Try the sauce right out of the bottle. Then try it with a little melted butter. See what you think. I like the taste of butter and a great hot sauce. You might want more hot sauce. Or more butter. Either way, you’ll end up with great wings in the end.

This is another great sauce from the fine folks over at the Bravado Spice Company.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings and for saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My Trusty Wingman

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!
