Ass Kickin’ Bacon Wing Sauce Wings

Truth is, you’re gonna feel it when you bite into some Ass Kickin’ Bacon Wing Sauce wings. The base sauce definitely packs a punch. There’s a slight hint of smoky bacon. I can’t say it’s really ‘bacon forward’. This sauce is based on a great, spicy Buffalo-inspired sauce and that’s its strength. You’re gonna get an ass kickin’ first, and the bacon second!

Ass Kickin' Bacon Wing Sauce Wings

Great Flavor and Heat

I really liked the flavor of these Ass Kickin’ Bacon wing sauce wings. The sauce is a little thinner than you’d expect from a BBQ sauce. It really is more reminiscent of a Buffalo sauce. That’s where it’s roots are and it doesn’t try to hide them. The bacon plays second fiddle to what is a great hot wing sauce.

Also try some Ass Kickin’ honey BBQ wings!

Remember that if you have to refrigerate your open bottle of wing sauce, let it sit out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before using. You don’t want to ‘shock’ hot, just-cooked wings with a cold sauce.

Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ Sauce Wings

Nothing makes me happier than to find a product from Indiana that just knocks my socks off. That makes my taste buds happy. Hoosier Daddy BBQ does both. Started by William Marshall and now continued by his daughter, this small company produces quality all-natural BBQ sauces. And they’re just not for BBQ either. I love making Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ sauce wings. Oh, yes they have other sauces. But if I’m jonesin’ for a good bit of heat in a nice, slightly sweet sauce, this is it.

Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ Wings

Fiery Sweetness

Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ sauce wings are spicy. I ain’t gonna lie. The name kinda gives it away. But fear not. That heat level is joined by a little sweetness in a thick, mustard and tomato-based sauce. It goes on wings perfectly. And it stays there. If you’re worried about the kick, just go light on the sauce. You’ll still get some of the best sauced wings you’ve ever had.

In Stores And Online

I’m lucky enough to be able to get all of the Hoosier Daddy BBQ sauces at our local grocery store. Tremendous on anything grilled or smoked, the sauces take wings to an all-new place too. Whether they are deep-fried, baked, grilled or roasted, you’re in for a treat. You can always order their sauces online too.

Also try Hoosier Daddy Sweet and Sassy BBQ sauce wings.

Two Ingredient Wing Sauce

I am not a hot sauce aficionado. I know what the Scoville scale is, and I know that in general, the smaller the pepper the hotter it is. And there ends my hot sauce knowledge. But I do know what I like, and fortunately there are hundreds and hundreds of hot sauces on the market. All screaming ‘put me on wings’. It can’t get any easier to take that delicious hot sauce and turn it into an ever more delicious wing sauce using my two ingredient wing sauce technique.

Two Ingredient Wing Sauce

Your Heat Your Way

I tend to lean towards the fruit-based hot sauces, and ones that aren’t super-duper hot. They make for the perfect wing sauces. I usually make them using the ‘hot’ technique listed in the steps in my two ingredient wing sauce recipe below. For that spice level I use equal amounts of butter and hot sauce. You can vary the ratio to suit your liking and the sauce you’re using. I’m kind of a butter-a-holic, so I’m happy with more of it rather than less!
