Easy Chili-Ranch Wings

I kinda went into making these easy chili-Ranch wings with low expectations. The recipe seemed pretty simple. But oh, did I ever love them. It helped that I’m a huge chili fan. Just two ingredients, chili powder and flour, made for great crunchy, flavorful wings. A little Ranch dressing on the side for dipping and I was one happy wing-aholic.

Go Big

I admit it, I added more chili powder than the recipe calls for. I’m not sure you’ll want to do that. Like I said, I love chili flavors. If you’re a fan but not a huge fan, just go with the recipe as it’s written and you’ll have great wings. You can always make them again. I did.

Terrapin Ridge Farms Sweet Heat Wings

This is the second bottle of Terrapin Ridge Farms wing sauce that I’ve tried. The first, Hot Pepper Bacon, was a major hit in my household. But I cannot say it was my favorite…. because Terrapin Ridge Farms Sweet Heat wing sauce is at least as good! This sauce has a hint of mustard flavor, but not too much so that it’s too strong. It’s a little on the sweet side, and I mean that in a good way. The heat level is just perfect for me. Not too spicy, and not too mild. These Terrapin Ridge Farms Sweet Heat wings are spot-on in the heat department!

Terrapin Ridge Farms Sweet Heat Wings

Get a bottle… or two…

Terrapin Ridge Farms Sweet Heat wing sauce is a great sauce for wings. I picked up my bottle at a Buc-ee’s in Sevierville, TN, but you can order them online also. I’d definitely suggest you get more than one, and that you get every flavor because I’m a big fan of this company’s sauces. You will be too. These Terrapin Ridge Farms Sweet Heat wings are fantastic!

I also cannot wait to try this sauce on grilled ribs or whole chicken.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings, and saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

Hoosier Daddy Sweet and Sassy BBQ Sauce Wings

There are three places I always go when I go to the grocery store. Of course, the wing sauce section. Then there’s the seasoning section (in case I find a new wing seasoning or something that might go good on dry wings). And the BBQ sauce section. I need BBQ sauce, but not just for my ribs or burgers or whatever. Nope, for my wings. Like these Hoosier Daddy Sweet and Sassy BBQ sauce wings. Just cook up a batch of wings and toss them in sauce. Or brush it on. Or serve it on the side for dipping. However you do it, BBQ sauce is great on wings!

Hoosier Daddy Sweet and Sassy BBQ Wings

Great BBQ Sauces Make Great Wings

This sauce is perfect. Hoosier Daddy Sweet and Sassy BBQ sauce wings have just the right amount of sweetness to them. And just a kiss of heat. Not too much of either, just the right amounts. There’s a bit of a smokiness, too. This sauce is a wonderful concoction, with everything from ketchup to mustard to peach. Yes, peach. Not to say it’s “peachy”, no. But oh, what a wonderful addition it is. Clever, I’d even say!

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.

Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

We’ve all had the standard blue cheese dressing. We’ve all dunked countless wings into it, cooling off the crazy hot wings we were about to devour. We love the tanginess, the creaminess. Well this creamy blue cheese dressing is that dressing and a whole lot more. A lot more flavor. Still that great blue cheese ‘funkiness’ with a lot more depth. This is a drinkable dressing if ever there was one.

Creamy Blue Cheese Dressing

The Right Dressing for the Job

This creamy blue cheese dressing is perfect for dunking wings. Why? Well, first, it has the perfect consistency. Second, the flavors compliment just about any flavor wing perfectly. And last, it’ll cool you off if you’re experiencing a bit of ‘wing discomfort’ after biting in the hottest wing you’ve ever had. And even if you’re not.

More Crumbles, More Better

If you want more blue cheesiness, feel free to add a few crumbles. Me, I don’t like my blue cheese dressing too crumbly when it comes to dunking wings. Those crumbles tend to slide off the wings. Then what? No crumbles. So what’s the point then if they just fall off?

Simple Truth Organic Spicy Garlic Buffalo Wings

My experience with organic or ‘clean’ wing sauces has been kind of ‘hit and miss’. Well, truthfully, mostly ‘miss’. These Simple Truth Organic Spicy Garlic Buffalo wings are not a ‘miss’. But, I can’t say they were a big ‘hit’ either. So I guess somewhere in between is where these landed.

Simple Truth Organic Spicy Garlic Buffalo Wings

Full Of Healthy Stuff

There is a nice little kick from these Simple Truth Organic Spicy Garlic Buffalo wings. And the garlic is just about right. The base Buffalo sauce is not the best ever, but fortunately the heat and garlic come along and make up for that a bit. And this is definitely an organic sauce. If you’re into good ingredients, this sauce is probably for you. If you’re in for a traditional Buffalo wing sauce with a little heat and garlic, you might have to stray outside the ‘organic’ box. At least for now.

Kinder’s Woodfired Garlic Dry Wings

My oh me oh goodness. It’s hard to put into words how much I loved these Kinder’s Woodfired garlic dry wings. The seasoning is just perfect. It helps that I’m a total garlic addict. But this isn’t any ordinary garlic flavor, nope. It’s garlic that has been roasted over a fire. Who does that? Great people do that! And they put it in a shaker bottle so I can have the best dry wings ever!

Kinder's Woodfired Garlic Dry Wings

Crazy Fantastically Good And A Big Favorite Of Mine.

I went big when I seasoned my wings. Kinder’s Woodfired garlic dry wings can handle lots of seasoning. The flavor is so good I can’t get enough. Up next, I’m sprinkling some on a whole roasted chicken. This stuff is going to replace my traditional rotisserie chicken for sure. I love it (in case you couldn’t tell)!

Got Seasonings?

You have to take care of your dry seasonings. In return, they’ll take care of you by always being ready the next time you need them! Protect seasonings from the four main enemies of flavor: heat, light, air, and moisture. Never store them above the stove or oven, where steam and temperature swings cause caking and quick degradation. If you have a problem with high humidity causing your dry seasonings to cake, try adding a silica gel packet to the containers to remove moisture.

Pretty Thai Muay Thai Sauce Wings

These Pretty Thai Muay Thai sauce wings are exactly why it pays to wander around your grocery store with an eye out for anything that might make good on wings. I picked up some of the Pretty Thai sauces in the Asian section. Sure, I had stir-fry on the brain too, but first and foremost I thought of only one thing. Wings. So I made up a quick batch of easy wings, tossed them in some sauce and got to it!

Pretty Thai Muay Thai Wings

Get Funky With It

These Pretty Thai Muay Thai sauce wings have a nice lip-tingling citrus tang that you get pretty early on. And there’s a little of that great fish sauce ‘funkiness’. That umami flavor you don’t find much anywhere else. And oh yes, a bit of heat from Thai chili. It’s got a nice spice level to it, I really liked it.

This sauce may seem a little thin. It was meant for stir-fry and the like. But it works just fine on wings.

Torchbearer Mild Buffalo Wings

If you’ve never had a wing sauce from Torchbearer you need to get to it. Time’s wasting and there’s no time like now to enjoy something totally different. Pick up a bottle and check out the ingredients. Torchbearer mild Buffalo wing sauce contains Mandarin orange, tomato, carrot, onion and a whole lot of other natural things. Didn’t expect that did you? Neither did I the first time, and I loved it. This sauce like their others is different, wonderfully tasty and great on wings.

McCormick Grill Mates Nashville Hot Chicken Dry Wings

About half the wings I make and eat are ‘dry’. Just cooked up (often in an air fryer) and then tossed in a seasoning. Sometimes a lot of seasoning. Sometimes not so much. No sauce in sight. But they are always good. Like these McCormick Grill Mates Nashville Hot Chicken dry wings. This seasoning is the perfect blend of chili pepper, paprika, brown sugar, onion and garlic. It has a nice kick to it. It’s not mellow but it’s not overpowering either. The flavor is fantastic, and certainly reminiscent of the namesake chicken. These are great dry wings.

McCormick Grill Mates Nashville Hot Chicken Dry Wings

Great Flavor And Kick In A Dry Wing

I’m not shy with the seasoning when I make my McCormick Grill Mates Nashville Hot Chicken dry wings. Well, at least not when I make them for myself. I like a good bit of heat in every bite. I’d go a bit lighter on it if I was serving them to friends or family, specially if they say they like a little kick but not a painful amount.

Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon Wings

This is one decidedly different wing sauce. When I made a batch of Terrapin Ridge Farms hot pepper bacon wings I knew I was in for a total detour from the usual bottled wing sauce. For starters, this sauce looks different. You can see the real, fresh ingredients inside. You can see peppers. And you can see tomato sauce. It almost looks like a salsa or even a jam, but not as thick. That first bite proved this isn’t the usual sauce. Smoky bacon, plenty of roasted red peppers, a very slight bit of jalapeno spiciness and tomato goodness are the stars of the show here.

Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon Wings

I Got It At Buc-ee’s

I picked up a bottle of this sauce at a Buc-ee’s in Sevierville, TN. I’m always on the lookout for a wing sauce I haven’t tried, and these Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon wings are a good reason why. There’s no point in getting bored with the sauces you keep using over and over. Branch out. There are a ton of great sauces out there, like this one!

Also good on…
