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!
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!

Fry, Baby!
I love deep-fried wings. But it’s usually just me I’m cooking for. So there’s no reason for me to drag out my big deep-fryer that could easily cook for a crowd. No, this calls for my Fry Daddy. Perfect for one-to-four people’s-worth of wings. And it doesn’t use a lot of oil, that’s a major plus. It gets to temperature quickly and maintains it even when I add cold wings. It’s priced right too and lasts forever!

Brrrrrrrr!
Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that times getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.
So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.
