Schnucks Honey BBQ Wings

Whenever I take a road trip I make it a point to stop at any local or regional grocery stores and check out the wing sauce section. Besides the national brands I can find pretty much anywhere I also come across some great brands I can only find on the road. Like Schnucks. I was in Bloomington IL for a few days. My hotel was right next door to a Schnucks. If that’s not a sign I don’t know what is. I grabbed a bottle of each of their own brand of sauces. Lots of them. I was grinning like a kid in a candy store. One of the first wings I made when I got home was these Schnucks Honey BBQ wings. These were some mighty fine wings. The sauce was lightly sweet with a hint of smokiness. Not overwhelming, but spot-on good. And boy, I sure couldn’t beat the price of the sauce either!

Schnucks Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

Just Make Some Wings

It doesn’t really matter what kinda cooked wings you use when you make a batch of some Schnucks Honey BBQ wings. Frozen and baked. Deep-fried. Air fried. Grilled. Whatever. Just cook them up and get them sauced. Soon you’ll be enjoying a lightly sweet BBQ-inspired wing. This sauce doesn’t have a kick to it, so you can serve it to your friends without them running off screaming ‘it burns, it burns’. So load up.

Deep-Fried Dill Pickle Wings

Dill pickle. More dill pickle. And then, yes, even more dill pickle! These deep-fried dill-pickle wings satisfied my dill pickle craving in four ways! A wonderfully-seasoned fried wing coated in flour and of course, dill pickle seasoning. Sprinkled with more seasoning hot out of the fryer. A little cool dill pickle dipping sauce. And of course, a few dill pickle slices. These are my kind of dill-icious wings!

Deep-Fried Dill Pickle Wings

Light On The Batter, Heavy On The Flavor

I didn’t go crazy with the batter on these deep-fried dill pickle wings. Just enough to get a good little crunch in every bite. And lots of dill flavor. I seasoned the flour heavily. I wasn’t shy at all. Experience has taught me that more is always better when it comes to seasoning flour. After all, these aren’t called deep-fried flour wings. So load up on the dill pickle yumminess!

Mighty Quinn’s Spicy Chile-Lime BBQ Wings

I’m gonna fess up. I was a bit worried I might not like this sauce. I’ve had other lime-flavored sauces that were so ‘limey’ that I couldn’t taste anything else. My first taste made my worries disappear just like that. I loved these Mighty Quinn’s spicy chile-lime BBQ wings. A lot. This sauce gets the lime ratio just right. It’s there but it doesn’t drown out the rest of the flavors. It’s great stuff!

Mighty Quinn's Spicy Chile-Lime BBQ Wings

Wings Your Way

I deep-fried my wings then sauced them. I could’ve grilled them. Or baked or air-fried them. The key here is the sauce. It’ll stick to your wings no matter how you could them. You’ll be rewarded with a fantastic balance of lime and heat and chile flavors. So make extra, you’ll want more of these Mighty Quinn’s spicy chile-lime BBQ wings!

Honey Chipotle Wing Sauce

I first made this honey chipotle wing sauce for deep-fried chicken tenders. It was so good that I knew I had to make a bigger batch and use it on wings next. This is easily one of my favorite homemade wing sauces. It has just the right amount of sweetness. From honey. Yummy honey. There’s just a little bit of heat and smokiness. Chipotle chili pepper is great in a sauce. It adds that bit of a kick from jalapenos. And it adds the flavor and aroma of the smoke used to smoke the jalapenos. It’s great stuff and it’s what really makes this sauce fantastic.

Honey Chipotle Wing Sauce

“Oh My Goodness” Good

You can make this honey chipotle wing sauce as thick or as thin as you want. The longer you simmer it, the thicker it gets. It also likes to thicken up a bit as it cools. I’ve been known to add more honey. That’ll thicken it up a bit while of course adding a bit more sweetness.

Margaritaville Mango Habanero Wings

Fruity. Spicy. Sweet. Ah, what a great sauce. This one didn’t last long in my house. My Margaritaville Mango Habanero wings were a big favorite from the first taste. You can make wings any way you want. Heck, grab some frozen ones from the grocery store and cook them up like the bag says. Or make them from scratch. Me, I just threw some fresh wings into my air fryer then sauced them up. The sauce is the star here. Don’t put any seasoning on your wings that might fight with the sauce.

Margaritaville Mango Habanero Wings

More Than A Wing Sauce

My first thought with any bottled sauce is ‘wings’. Even if it doesn’t say just ‘wings’. The bottle for Mango Habanero wing sauce from Margaritaville also says ‘marinade’. And it’d be mighty great for that too. It could also say ‘dipping sauce’ because I can definitely see grabbing another bottle and using that for deep-fried shrimp dipping. It’s not a thick sauce, so it’d be great for more than just wings. So grab more than one bottle. You’ll need it.

Thanksgiving Air Fryer Chicken Wings

The temperature outside dropped below 50F and my thoughts turned to Thanksgiving. I can’t help it. I was definitely looking forward to roasting a turkey in my oil-less fryer. But then, I thought, I love wings. How about taking that wonderful turkey seasoning and putting it on a batch of wings too? “Brilliant!” I exclaimed. So I made some Thanksgiving air fryer chicken wings and by golly, the holiday came early! Not only did these wings taste great, they made the house smell fantastic too!

Thanksgiving Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Back For Seconds

I made these Thanksgiving air fryer chicken wings two days in a row. I had to. They were great. I’ll let you in on a little modification that makes them even more Thanksgiving-y. I seasoned the wings upfront, like the recipe states. And I seasoned them when they were done, also like it states. But I also snuck in another round of seasoning. Before the last 6 minute cook, where the air fryer temp is increased to get that great crunchy skin, I placed the wings into a bowl and seasoned them some more. Back into the air fryer they went. Boy, were they ever finger-licking good!

The Dirty Buffalo Teriyaki Glaze Wings

I’m wrapping up my journey through the wing sauces I ordered from The Dirty Buffalo, a regional wing and more joint in south eastern Virginia. Oh, trust me, I’ll be ordering more of their sauces. And seasonings. For now, I’m glad I ended up on what I think is the highest note: The Dirty Buffalo Teriyaki Glaze wings. This wing sauce was my favorite. And it was hard to say that, because so many of them have been amazing. But this one really struck a chord with me. The perfect ‘umami’ flavor. Salty, sweet and lightly funky. I could not get enough of this sauce.

The Dirty Buffalo Teriyaki Glaze Wings

Make Some Wings. Now.

Just make some wings. Seriously. Whatever gets you to tasting this sauce the quickest. I used my air fryer to make my standard batch of air fryer wings then sauced them. You can make The Dirty Buffalo Teriyaki Glaze wings any way you want. Just don’t use anything that might overpower the sauce. Don’t go crazy with any seasoning. The sauce is a winner, don’t hide it.

Yes, I licked my fingers while eating these wings. And yes I wished I’d gotten more sauce on them.

I Shoulda Bought More

I think this sauce would be fantastic in a stir-fry. Or nuggets. Anything. It’s delicious and perfectly balanced. I definitely should’ve ordered more bottles. Well, that’s ok because I can jump online and order some more, along with all of their other great flavors!

Notes

Note: If your wing sauce is refrigerated, set it out on the countertop before starting the wings so that it warms up a bit. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings.
Note: The full 30 minute cook time is for large, meaty wings. If your wings are a bit thinner (er… scrawny) back the times down to 10/10/4 minutes instead of 12/12/6 minutes.

Creamy Cool Blue Cheese Wing Dipping Sauce

Blue cheese. Ranch. Blue cheese. Ranch. I don’t care which side of the fence you might be on when it comes to having a dipping sauce for your wings. Me, I switch it up depending on the wings and my mood. Today, I was in the mood for a really good, cold, kinda funky creamy cool blue cheese wing dipping sauce. And this is it. This is about the easiest sauce you can make. The only thing easier would be to just open a bottle. This is better.

Creamy Cool Blue Cheese Wing Dipping Sauce

The Right Sauciness

What (besides great flavor) makes this creamy cool blue cheese wing dipping sauce so good? Consistency. The right consistency. Too runny of a sauce and you end up with more sauce on your lap than you do on your wings. Too thick and you end up with a ‘fondue’ wings. You know, so much sauce you can’t even see the wings.

Get To Dippin’

I use these little sauce cups for dipping my wings. They are appetizer-sized in that I can easily get enough sauce for 6-10 wings in them. And they’re just the right size for getting a wing in there, too. Boy, there’s not much worse than having a cup so small you can’t dip your wing.

Sweet and Tangy Heinz 57 Wings

Welcome to one of my all-time favorite homemade wing sauces. Easy as heck to make. Delicious as can be. These sweet and tangy Heinz 57 wings were beyond finger-licking good. They were plate-licking good. I’d make these again in a heartbeat. A little tangy. A little sweet. They hit the spot!

Sweet and Tangy Heinz 57 Wings

A Sauce For The Entire Family

I do sometimes post some fairly spicy homemade wing sauces here on For The Wing. This isn’t one of them. I think these sweet and tangy Heinz 57 wings would be great to serve at a party or picnic or family get-together. No one’s gonna scream that they are spicy. But they will tell you they loved them.

But…. You could kick them up a bit if you want. They are on the sweet side. A bit. And just barely tangy. No reason you couldn’t sneak a little hot sauce in there. Maybe make a special batch for yourself and your heat-loving friends.

Burman’s Medium Buffalo Wings

We do most of our grocery shopping at Aldi’s. We love everything about the store. Of course, for me that means that I love their fresh wings. And did you know they have a great Buffalo wing sauce (under the Burman’s brand name) too? You know if it’s from Aldi it’s not only tasty, it’s at the right price. I recently made a batch of Burman’s medium Buffalo wings. The sauce is perfect right out of the bottle. Lightly spicy. Great Buffalo-inspired flavor. And the right consistency to stick to your wings. I always keep a bottle of Buffalo wing sauce on-hand and this is one of my favorites!

Burman's Medium Buffalo Wings

Just Make Some Wings

It doesn’t really matter what kind of cooked wings you use when you make Burman’s medium Buffalo wings. Frozen (Aldi has those too!) and baked. Deep-fried. Air fried. Grilled. Whatever. Just cook them up and get them sauced and get ready for some classic Buffalo wing goodness. And yeah, grab some dressing from Aldi’s while you’re there too. You’ll want a little something to cool you off!

This sauce is also great served as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. Or slather it on a grilled chicken sandwich! It’s got the right flavor and the right heat level for just about anything!
