I knew before I opened the bottle that I’d love this sauce and I’d love it even more on chicken wings. In part that’s because I loved Nando’s garlic wing sauce wings. I knew I could trust the brand. I knew when it said ‘spicy’ it’d be spicy. And there’s this little ‘heat indicator’ on the label too. It didn’t indicate ‘mild’ or ‘medium’. It said ‘hot’. And it was. A little sweet, too. And it was oh, oh so delicious! These Nando’s Spicy Brown Sugar wing sauce wings are great!
Air-Fried. Or Otherwise
I went with my standard go-to air fryer recipe for making these Nando’s Spicy Brown Sugar wing sauce wings. It’s easy and quick, perfect for my lunch. Yep, lunch. I eat a lot of wings. Probably too many. But I can’t help myself when there are delicious sauces around like this one! I’m a big fan of the light sweetness. And I love the tanginess and slight tartness (it’s those peri-peri peppers!). This sauce is almost BBQ sauce-like, with its hint of smoke. But it’s different. And very good.
