The Dirty Buffalo Medium Buffalo Wings

I like to kick back after a long day of work and just relax and enjoy. Same with my wings. I like to kick back and relax and enjoy every bite. They don’t have to be crazy spicy. They don’t have to be too saucy. But, they have to be enjoyable. Like these The Dirty Buffalo medium Buffalo wings. This sauce isn’t the kind that’s going to hurt. It has just a nice little kick to it. And it’s not lacking in classic flavor. Not at all. Whether I’m having my wings after work or at lunch, or just snacking, these are a great way to have a great day. This is one enjoyable sauce.

Make Some Wings. However You Like Them.

I used my air fryer to make my standard batch of air fryer wings then sauced them. I could’ve gone deep-fried. Or grilled. Or baked. Doesn’t really matter. Just make them your favorite way and sauce ’em up. The Dirty Buffalo medium Buffalo wings are gonna be great no matter what. This sauce is all above great flavor.

The Classics Never Get Old

I ordered a ton of sauces from The Dirty Buffalo. Some are just fantastic versions of the classics, like this one. Some are totally different and new. It’s nice to have that mix. And boy, do they ever have a mix of them, too! I highly recommend you hop on over to their site and order some. Get some of their award-winning flavors, and of course grab some classics, too!

Brrrrrrrrr!

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.

Remove wings from the bowl and serve immediately.

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.

TGI Friday’s Honey BBQ Snack Wings

I don’t just make fresh wings at home. I think it’s important to try other wings, ones that didn’t come right out of the butcher’s case. Like these TGI Friday’s Honey BBQ snack wings. I know that not everyone wants to grab a pack of fresh wings from the store and go thru the process of prepping and cooking them. It’s a bit of work. And you might not want to get your hands all ‘chicken-y’. Plus, if you have a house full of guests you don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen. But you also don’t want to serve bad wings. These are your way out of your wing dilemma. I can say these are actually pretty good wings. They are definitely some of the best frozen wings I’ve found.

Tasty. And Easy.

I liked the sauce on these TGI Friday’s Honey BBQ snack wings. It’s lightly sweet and a pretty good BBQ sauce on its own. There’s plenty of sauce on each wing too. I didn’t run into a case where one wing was sauced and one wasn’t. The coating on the wings is good too. The wings are reasonably meaty, and I found the wings to be pretty consistent in quality. I can’t say I’ve always had that same experience with other frozen wing brands.

Inconsistency is a big turn off for me. I’m more than happy to buy frozen, pre-sauced wings if each time I do I get the same quality. Or close to it. I found these to be consistent and that’s a good thing.

I cooked my wings in the oven. I’m not a big fan of microwaved wings even though the packaging has instructions for cooking them there. The oven gives you just a bit of a crunch to the wings and I like that. Plus they’re easy. Just make sure you use some non-stick spray on the foil before adding the wings. They do like to stick a bit.

TGI Friday’s also makes a Buffalo version of their frozen wings.
