Buffalo Wild Wings Desert Heat Dry Wings

Buffalo Wild Wings Desert Heat wing seasoning makes for some of the best dry wings you’ve ever had. Sure, you can use it as a seasoning on wet wings too. I’m such a fan of dry wings that that’s how I prefer it. Time and time again. A little (ok, a good bit of) spiciness combines with a wonderful smokiness that makes these wings fantastic.

Buffalo Wild Wings Desert Heat Dry Wings

More is Better

I season my Buffalo Wild Wings Desert Heat Dry Wings before I cook them and after they’re done. If I’m deep frying the wings I’ll mix the seasoning in with the flour (or whatever coating I’m using) mixture first. I am pretty heavy-handed with the seasoning before and after the wings are cooked. I really like this stuff.

Make sure you seal your wing seasonings well after using. You don’t want any moisture sneaking in. This dust comes in shaker bottles that seal perfectly!

Also try Buffalo Wild Wings Buffalo dry wings. Great Buffalo flavor in a dry wing!

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.

Beef O Brady’s Spicy Garlic Wing Sauce Wings

Spicy? Yeah, it’s got a nice kick to it but it’s not crazy hot. Garlic? Yep, it’s got that too. And then some. No mistaking it, Beef O Brady’s Spicy Garlic wing sauce brings great flavor and heat. It’s delicious on wings. Crazy good delicious! This sauce also has just the right consistency. Too thin and your sauce rolls right off of your wings and onto your plate. Or worse, your clothes. Too thick and it goes on too thick. Heck, you want to taste the wings too. If you wanted to just taste the wing sauce you could just pour yourself a glass!

Garlic. And More Garlic.

You’ll not be sitting there wishing for more garlic. Your garlic cravings will definitely be satisfied. So grab a bottle, make some wings, and sit back and enjoy the garlicky kick!

Fresh Thyme Wild Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

I’m a big fan of the wing sauces I’ve picked up at our local Fresh Thyme Market. They’ve all been super tasty and at the right price (that’s a win-win!). The Fresh Thyme Wild Buffalo wing sauce is no exception. This sauce is a nice, mellow Buffalo sauce. It’s a mix of great traditional Buffalo wing sauce flavor with a few twists. Worcestershire sauce and molasses make you realize that it’s not just another cayenne pepper sauce.

Fresh Thyme Wild Buffalo Wings

The Right Amount of Heat

If you’re just a little kick to your wings, Fresh Thyme’s Wild Buffalo wing sauce is perfect for you. If you want a little more heat, try their Zesty Buffalo wing sauce. Either way, you can’t go wrong with Fresh Thyme wing sauces.

Plucker’s Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

It’s from Plucker’s, so I knew this sauce would be amazing. And the bottle does say ‘hot’ on it, so I knew this sauce would be spicy. The key to a great wing sauce is to balance the spicy with flavor, and this hot Buffalo wing sauce does that perfectly. Yeah, it brings some heat, but it tastes so good and that’s critical. No one wants a crazy hot sauce that doesn’t taste great. This one does.

Plucker's Hot Buffalo Wings

Spicy But Not Crazy Hot

Even if you’re not really into super spicy wing sauces, I think you’ll like Plucker’s hot Buffalo wing sauce. Sure, it has a kick. But if you go light on it, I think you’ll love your wings. Hey, do like I did and have some cool Ranch or blue cheese dressing on hand if necessary.

The Fresh Thyme Wild Buffalo wing sauce is no exception. This sauce is a nice, mellow Buffalo sauce. It’s a mix of great traditional Buffalo wing sauce flavor with a few twists.

Wicked Sticky Wings

Warning: The term ‘sticky’ is a tremendous understatement when it comes to describing these Wicked Sticky wings. Think sticky molasses, and then think stickier. Don’t spill the sauce (like someone I know might have done) or you will be cleaning counter tops and sinks and what-not for days. Trust me. Now, on to the wings…

These wings are crazy good. Wicked heat. Sticky sweet. I made them crispy style on my Char-Broil Big Easy, but you can make them anyway you like, from smoking them to deep frying them. It’s the sauce that shines here, and boy is it messy great. Wicked sticky wings are called that for a reason.

Wicked Sticky Wings

Sticky Really Doesn’t Describe It

I went simple with the dipping sauce for these wicked sticky wings. Just straight-out-of-the-bottle chilled Ranch dressing. Nothing fancy, just something to offset the kick of the sauce just a bit.

For the wings

  • 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

Instructions

For the sauce

  • Place all ingredients in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool COMPLETELY before using. Even better, cover and refrigerate overnight. This will help the sauce stay sticky and thick.

Raspberry Chipotle Wings

Oh, goodness me! Raspberry chipotle wings are my newest food addiction. The sauce is just crazy good. Great berry flavor and a nice helping of heat. And a little bit of sweet to temper that kick just a bit. I used great fresh local raspberries, but frozen would work just fine too.

Raspberry Chipotle Wings

One Great Sauce

The raspberry chipotle sauce would also be great on a grilled pork tenderloin, or just grilled chicken. I wouldn’t be afraid to add a bit more of the chipotle if you’re into heat like I am. Just make sure that when you strain the sauce you don’t let any seeds through. It takes a little work but those seeds aren’t something you want in the sauce.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Anchor Bar Barbecue Wing Sauce Wings

Of course, the Anchor Bar is famous as being the creator of what we now call traditional Buffalo wings. But, not all of their wing sauce flavors are based in vinegar or butter or hot sauce. Anchor Bar Barbecue wings are just as fantastic as the classic. Tomato based, this sauce is lightly smoky, lightly sweet, and has just a slight bit of a spicy kick to it. It’s perfect on wings.

Anchor Bar Barbecue Wings

It’s Not Just Great on Wings!

Anchor Bar Barbecue wing sauce is equally as great on a smoked rack of ribs or a grilled chicken breast as it is on deep-fried chicken wings. It has the right consistency, the right flavors to make it a great straight-up BBQ sauce.

Remember that if you have to refrigerate your open bottle of wing sauce to 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.

For something a little spicier, but not too spicy, try Anchor Bar’s medium Buffalo wings.

Beef O Brady’s Mango Habanero Wings

Do not fear the word ‘habanero’ in Beef O Brady’s mango habanero wing sauce. Oh, don’t get me wrong, it’s a bit spicy, but it’s not going to knock you out. And a whole lot of that heat is offset by what is probably the best mango flavor I’ve had in a wing sauce. There’s no denying that there’s mango. And molasses adds a fantastic sweetness and thickness. This is a wonderful sauce.

Beef O Brady's Mango Habanero Wings

A Little Hard to Find…

I’ve found Beef O Brady’s mango habanero wing sauce a bit difficult to find online. I lucked out and found it at Jungle Jim’s International Market outside of Cincinnati, OH. The search is well worth it, so don’t give up if you can’t find it on your first attempt. I believe they also sell their sauces in their restaurants. The combination of heat and sweet and fruit is fantastic and makes for delightful wings!

Bone Suckin’ Honey and Habanero Wing Sauce Wings

Oh, give me more! I want more Bone Suckin’ Honey and Habanero wing sauce wings! I can’t get enough of this stuff. Boy, I thought I was in love with Bone Suckin’ Sauce. But, that affection was nothing like what I have for this slightly sweet, reasonably spicy wing sauce. This stuff is downright delicious and just a bit dangerous. What a wonderful combination of flavors this is. Woo me I’m a happy guy now!

Bone Suckin' Honey and Habanero Wings

This is My Kind of Sauce

Like their BBQ sauce, Bone Suckin’ Honey and Habanero wing sauce is a thick, stick-to-your-meat sauce. It’s not going to run off an end up at the bottom of your plate. That also makes it great as a BBQ sauce itself. Just like it’s bigger brother, slather this wing sauce on ribs, burgers, and grilled chicken. You’ll love it!

I also enjoyed this sauce on side for dipping homemade, deep-fried chicken tenders and nuggets. No wimpy dipping sauce for me!

Cholula Mexicali Wing Sauce Wings

Cholula Original Hot Sauce has long been a favorite of mine. I’ve used it on dishes and on wings for years. That’s why I was absolutely ecstatic when I saw that the folks at Cholula came out with their own pre-made wing sauces. I couldn’t grab them off the shelves at my local market quick enough. The first one I tried, Cholula Mexicali wing sauce, blew me away. This is the perfect just-spicy-enough wing sauce, with just a hint of citrus and cilantro. I could just drink this sauce right out of the bottle.

Cholula Mexicali Wings

This Sauce Is Great On Everything

Cholula Mexicali wing sauce is definitely not just for wings. I use it like a regular hot sauce, on tacos, enchiladas, you name it. I love the citrus and cilantro twist. But on wings, oh, it’s just amazing! And hey, it comes in a cool looking bottle!
