Salt and Pepper Wings

Oh my goodness. I’m a big-time chicken wing fan. Any time, anywhere, I’ll eat wings. With darn near anything on them. But sesame oil infused with garlic, onion and jalapeno? I mean, it sounded good but not something I’d ever had on wings. And wow! Was I ever surprised as to just how great these salt and pepper wings were.

Oh you get the salt and lots of black pepper, but then you get this wonderful Asian-inspired flavor that is impossible to stop eating. The sauce is the perfect balance between sharp sesame oil, spicy pepper and garlic and onion. No one flavor overpowers the rest. It’s very, very good.

So Easy, Yet So Darned Good!

Next time I fry a chicken I’m coating it in the same sauce as I used for these salt and pepper wings. And next time I make these salt and pepper wings I might double the sauce because it’s seriously addictingly good.

I like to make my spice, rub and seasoning mixes in big batches and keep them in large bottles with easy-to-pour shaker lids.

Plucker’s Baker’s Gold Wing Sauce Wings

Apparently, some of the staff working at Plucker’s came up with the recipe for Baker’s Gold wing sauce. Well, hats off to them for coming up with something totally different! Baker’s Gold is (I think!) a combination of two great BBQ sauces: a smoky ketchup-based sauce like a KC BBQ sauce, and a spicy mustard vinegar-based sauce, such as you’d find in the Carolinas. Heck, why make two different batches of wings with two different BBQ sauces when you can have them both in a single one! Boom!

Every Plucker’s Sauce Is Great

I picked up eighteen different bottles of wing sauce from Plucker’s. It’s a wing restaurant based out of Austin, Texas. Every single sauce, like Plucker’s Baker’s Gold wing sauce, has been fantastic. So many different exciting flavors. I’d better get to making more wings!

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.
