Nothing makes me happier than discovering a wing sauce that can be used on much more than ‘just’ wings. The sauce on these adobo Buffalo wings packs some mild heat, just enough and just right. There’s a little sweetness, a little smokiness, and my favorite, a hint of soy sauce. Each bite is a wonderful combination of flavors.

One great sauce!

The sauce on these adobo Buffalo wings is thick, thick enough for sticking to smoked or grill ribs, chicken, burgers… you name it. I’d definitely recommend doubling the sauce.

Kick it up a bit!

For a little more kick add more adobo, cayenne or red chili flakes. You can also substitute hot sauce for the Buffalo wing sauce, but the Buffalo sauce does add that nice traditional wing flavor.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

For the marinade

For the glaze (if tossing the wings with the glaze you may want to thin it somewhat with a little water so the glaze doesn't end up too thick)

Instructions

For the glaze

  • Combine all ingredients except for the cornstarch in a large sauce pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring, for 15-20 minutes.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Combine the cornstarch with water. Slowly whisk into the glaze.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring thru a whisk.
  • Keep warm over low heat until ready to use. If too thick stir in a little (very little!) water a time to get the desired consistency.
