First came Sweet but Sassy sauce wings. And they were good. Oh so good. That got me thinking that I needed some Pepper Palace Sweet But Sinister sauce wings next. Needed. Wanted. Craved. So I made them. And they were good too. Oh so good. Like their sassy cousin, they’re slightly sweet. Unlike their sassy cousin, they’re hotter. In a really good way kinda hot. If you’re looking for a kicked up sweet wing sauce, this is it.
Good To The Last Drop
Pepper Palace Sweet but Sinister sauce wings sauce is just the right consistency to stick to your wings. No sauce lake at the bottom of your plate here. Nope. It’s on the wings and it’s there to stay, bite after bite. Well, after you pick them up it’s on your fingers too. Don’t be sad after you take that last bite of your wings, there’s still some finger lickin’ to be had. You’ll want to enjoy every last drop of this sauce.
This right here is why I just love eating wings. There are so many flavors, so many sauces, seasonings, cooking techniques… and each is fantastic. Pretty Thai Sweet Chili sauce wings are wonderfully delicious. They have an absolutely fantastic flavor. Slightly sweet, with a minimal touch heat and a hint of garlic and vinegar, this is downright tasty sauce. This sauce is ‘very clean’, with only a few ingredients and all of them natural. It might seem a little thin at first, but it’s actually just the right consistency for wings or anything else.
Great On Other Dishes, Too!
Pretty Thai Sweet Chili sauce wings are reminiscent of Thai BBQ sauced-wings. This sauce would be great on pot stickers, dipping egg rolls, or in a stir fry. But it’s truly outstanding on wings. Sometimes it’s nice to have a break from hot, Buffalo-style wings.
The Pretty Thai brand has a number of fantastic sauces, and they’re great on more than wings. Try them all!
Ahhhhh. There’s just something so satisfying about the combination of roasted garlic and Parmesan. Put the two in a creamy sauce and you’ve got the perfect topping for perfectly-cooked, crispy wings. Kinder’s Garlic Parmesan wings hit the spot and are a great change from classic Buffalo wing flavors.
The Perfect Balance
Kinder’s Garlic Parmesan wing sauce goes on thick, but it kinda ‘melts’ when it hits hot wings. The flavors get everywhere, in every bite. It’s not gloppy or too thick, not at all. Take a gander at the wings in the picture above. Man, were they ever delicious! This isn’t a salad dressing. It’s a wing sauce!
If a restaurant sells its own bottled wing sauces, I’m there. You don’t have to tell me twice. You’re standing behind what you make when you also go thru the trouble and expense of bottling it. We were at a Fricker’s the other day, and yep, that meant I had to have some wings and grab some sauce to go. This time I got Fricker’s Frickin’ Kicker wing sauce. Yep, you can guess from the name that there’s gonna be some heat in this sauce, and there was. This is a great, classic Buffalo wing sauce. No fancy modifications to the original, just great vinegar and spices. Perfectly spicy on some wings at the restaurant or wings made at home.
Yeah It’s Got a Kick. A Great Kick.
If you head over to Fricker’s web site you can order some Fricker’s Frickin’ Kicker wing sauce too. Their sauces are very reasonably priced. They currently sell four varieties online, but if you head to a restaurant they’re more than happy to make any sauce you want off the menu ‘to go’. The sauces come in Mason jars and are made fresh, right then and there. It’s awesome!
Vinegar (the quality stuff). Butter (the real stuff). Cayenne (the spicy stuff). Combined they make for a delicious wing sauce. Lillie’s Q Buffalo wing sauce is just that. Just the right consistency to stick to your wings without being, well, gloppy. And not so thin that none of the sauce sticks to the wings. What would be the point of that?
Buffalo-Inspired Greatness
I will point out that even though the bottle doesn’t specifically state ‘hot’ on it, these Lillie’s Q Buffalo wings are pretty spicy. Not like screaming hot, but you’re gonna feel it. It’s a very flavorful sauce, and I’d expect a little kick from just about any Buffalo sauce. Just letting you know!
The air fryer does a great job making great wings. With little effort they come out crispy and juicy. Here lately I’ve found myself badly addicted to rotisserie chicken seasoning. There’s something about the aroma and taste that really appeals to me. You get that slow-roasted chicken flavor and aroma. There’s a wonderfully fantastic golden color. Your mouth begins to water long before you take that first bite. On wings, it’s fantastic. These rotisserie-seasoned air fryer wings smell and taste just like the chicken you can get at your supermarket.
Oh, That Crunchy Delicious Skin!
Besides that great classic flavor, these rotisserie-seasoned air fryer wings have super crunchy, delicious skin. You’re definitely going to think you’re eating battered deep-fried chicken. But you’re not. Just a little seasoning and baking powder goes into making these wings fantastic. You ‘dry’ the wings for a short time in the fridge before cooking them. That helps ensure that the skins will get nice and crunchy. So does the baking powder, mixed into the seasoning. Finally, when the wings are cooked to perfection, and while they’re still hot, you sprinkle them with a bit more of the seasoning.

No Dipping Sauce Needed
You can serve these wings ‘dry’, without any dipping sauces. They’re delicious just straight up seasoned and nothing else. You can also serve them with a bit of blue cheese or ranch dressing for a little dipping action if you’d like. You can also have a little wing sauce on the side for dunking.
I like to put my sauces in these little cups. They’re the perfect size for my wings. I use them for ranch, blue cheese, Buffalo sauce… whatever.
Pat the wings dry with a paper towel and place into a medium bowl.
Combine the baking powder and 1 teaspoon of the seasoning. Sprinkle over the wing parts and toss well to coat.
Transfer wings to a plate and cover with paper towel. Place in refrigerator for 1-2 hours to help dry the skin.
Preheat your air fryer to 360 F. Lightly spray the basket with non-stick spray.
Add the wings. Cook for 10 minutes.
Flip the wings and cook for another 10 minutes.
Increase the air fryer temperature to 400 F. Flip the wings and cook another 4-6 minutes or until the wings are done and the skin is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the wings to a medium bowl. Sprinkle with the remaining seasoning and toss to coat. Serve immediately.
Notes
I prefer to season my wings immediately after cooking them. The seasoning will stick to the surface of the hot wings better than if you wait until they cool off.
Let me start by saying I’ve had a hard time finding Guy Fieri’s Parmesan Garlic wing sauce online. So, I am not sure it’s still available, at least for online purchasing. I am still able to find it in my favorite grocery store, and as long as I can get it, I will. That’s because I absolutely love this wing sauce. It’s almost like a salad dressing. It seems a bit thin at first. But it’s so loaded with nice chunks of garlic and parmesan that it looks amazingly good on wings. I wanted to dive in for that first bite as soon as I could. I was rewarded with tasty goodness!
A Better Parmesan Garlic Sauce
I really liked the taste of Guy Fieri’s Parmesan Garlic wing sauce. Some similar sauces I’ve tried are too thick. Or so garlicky that I have to go hunting for the parmesan. Not this sauce. It has the perfect balance. I sure hope they are still making this sauce because it’s one of my favorites!
And yes, actually, it is great on a salad. It really is.
There for a minute I thought I was eating smoked chicken wings. I double checked, and nope, my air fryer wasn’t belching smoke… Ah ha! The great smoky flavor was coming from these Kinder’s Fire Roasted Jalapeno wings! Man, what a great sauce this is! I love roasted peppers, especially jalapeno. A little spicy heat and a little smoke is great on wings. There’s a slight hint of garlic and lime. These made me think ‘southwestern’ when I devoured them. And it made me think ‘buy more of this sauce’.
Crazy Good Bite After Bite
Kinder’s Fire Roasted Jalapeno wings are definitely finger-licking good. You don’t have to go crazy with the sauce, either. It packs great flavor in just a little. Which means you’ll have plenty of sauce for other dishes, like squeezing over burritos, tacos… or dipping nuggets. It’s also great on a grilled chicken sandwich. Anything that needs a little heat (not too much) and southwestern-inspired flavors, grab this sauce and get to it!
When I was knee-high to a grasshopper, like about 5th grade, I absolutely loved the peg legs at Long John Silver’s. They were battered, fried chicken legs. They’re now called ‘planks’ and are made with boneless chicken. Well, phooey! They took away my fun. Well, that’s ok, I love wings now more than legs anyway. But I still love battered and fried chicken, so … yep, I made beer-battered wings! Kinda like the peg legs of my childhood, but with yummy, juicy wings instead! And yes, beer. I don’t think LJS used beer back in the day. Or ever. Maybe they should have!
Malt Vinegar. Yes. Malt Vinegar.
Since I’ve already upset the traditional wing gods by making beer-battered wings, there’s no reason in stopping there. There’s only one thing you can serve with these delicious, packed-with-flavor wings and that’s malt vinegar. Your brain is gonna think fish-and-chips but your mouth is gonna scream ‘yummy wings!’. Pour it on top or serve it on the side for dipping. Yummy malt vinegar makes these wings even better.
Malt Vinegar Aioli. Yes. Malt Vinegar Aioli.
If you really want to take these wings even further, even greater, dip them in malt vinegar aioli. It’s like malt vinegar taken to a whole new level. A new place. A place of greatness. And it’s gonna maybe seem a little odd for dipping wings but you gotta try it. It’s easy to make so why not?
If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll break out my big deep fryer. But, if it’s just me, I’ll fire up my Fry Daddy fryer. It’s the perfect size. It fries everything perfectly. And as an added bonus, it doesn’t use a lot of oil, which saves me money. And that means I can buy more wings.
Feel that tingle. Feel that burn. Taste those classic flavors. Some spice. Butter flavor. Garlic. Vinegar. Everything you need is here. Frank’s RedHot Hot Buffalo wings are super addicting. I was in the hurry for lunch, but not in too big of a hurry that I couldn’t cook up some wings in the air fryer for a bit then toss them in this sauce. A little ranch (or blue cheese to keep it traditional) on the side to cool me down, and I’m one happy guy.
A Great Kick with Great Flavor
There are milder versions of Buffalo sauce, but I find myself coming back to Frank’s RedHot hot Buffalo wing sauce again and again. It has just the right amount of heat for me when I’m searching for a wing with a nice kick to it. I could sit down to a bucket of these wings, some football and a cold adult beverage and be one happy guy for a long, long time.
