Plucker’s Gold Rush Wings

I didn’t think I’d be as much a fan of a creamy, mustardy wing sauce as I ended up being when I tasted Plucker’s Gold Rush wing sauce on a batch of wings hot out of my air fryer. There are three kinds of mustard wing sauce: those with too little mustard, those with too much mustard, and those (the few) that are just perfect. This one is just perfect. Finger-lickingly good perfect. If I bite into a mustard-sauce wing and I smile, it’s crazy good and not just sorta good. I smiled a lot eating these!

Plucker's Gold Rush Wings

Another Tasty Sauce From Plucker’s

Plucker’s Gold Rush wing sauce is great on hot dogs, grilled or smoked ribs. And chicken (well, like other than wings of course!) too! And it makes for a great dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. It’s another great example of the quality, tasty wing sauces you can find at Plucker’s.

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!

G Hughes Sugar Free Mango Habanero Wings

This is my second bottle of sugar free wing sauce from G Hughes. The first, Thai chili, was absolutely amazing. Was it a fluke that such a great sauce was also sugar free? Nope. Definitely not. Because G Hughes Sugar Free Mango Habanero wing sauce is just as amazing! Lightly fruity with a decent amount of heat, I really love this sauce. It’s finger-licking good. Delicious. Just like these G Hughes Sugar Free Mango Habanero wings!

G Hughes Sugar Free Mango Habanero Wings

Sweet, but not too Sweet

I wouldn’t call G Hughes Sugar Free Mango Habanero wing sauce overly sweet, but it’s sweet (despite no sugar!). And I wouldn’t call it overly spicy, but it’s spicy. It strikes a nice balance between the heat and the sweet. I could definitely see myself using this as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets or as a sauce on grilled chicken or ribs. But more so, I’m making G Hughes Sugar Free Mango Habanero wings!

Plucker’s Honey BBQ Wings

I bit my finger when I ate my lunchtime wings tossed with Plucker’s honey BBQ wing sauce. Yes, I was eating the wings so fast that my finger got in the way. I was blinded by wing love and must have thought, hey, that looks a bit like a drummette, let’s try that! And it was good! Ok, I’m sort of kidding, but man what a great sauce this is! It’s on the sweet side (the honey in the name gives it away). Not really any heat to speak of. But oh, oh, it’s soooo good! And these Plucker’s Honey BBQ wings are great!

Pluckers Honey BBQ Wings

Delicious Sweetness In Every Bite

Plucker’s honey BBQ wing sauce would be absolutely outstanding on just about anything. Just because it says ‘wing’ on the label doesn’t mean that’s all it’s good for. If you’re looking for a truly amazing sweet BBQ sauce, this is it. And these Plucker’s Honey BBQ wings are it too!

Spicy Honey Wings

A little sweet. A little heat. Those are the keys to a great wing sauce. These spicy honey wings have the perfect combination of both. Even with my Fire-Eater rub and a healthy dose of hot sauce, they’re plenty sweet. Perfect for dipping in a bowl of cold Ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Spicy Honey Wings

This Is What Sweet Heat Is All About

I find myself sitting here and just staring at the picture of the spicy honey wings. Man, they sure were pretty, and they sure were delicious. I could easily make another batch for lunch today. I think I will. All of the ingredients to make the rub and sauce are pantry staples, and I always keep plenty of fresh wings around because you never know when you might want a few wings.

Frederik’s By Meijer Creamy Jalapeno Wings

I have nothing but good things to say about every Meijer wing sauce I’ve had. Now sold under the name Frederik’s by Meijer, their sauces are always tasty, have the perfect consistency needed for wings, and can be had at a great price. The Frederik’s by Meijer creamy jalapeno wing sauce is no exception. It’s a lightly spicy sauce, and not too spicy in my opinion. The bottle says it’s ‘medium’ which I think is spot-on. There’s a slight hint of citrus and smokiness. It’s crazy creamy good. If ever there was a finger-licking good wing sauce, this is it and these Frederik’s By Meijer Creamy Jalapeno wings are fantastic!

Frederik's By Meijer Creamy Jalapeno Wings

A Deliciously Complex Wing Sauce

As with any of their sauces, Frederik’s by Meijer creamy jalapeno wing sauce is great for more than just wings. It’s great as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. It’s fantastic drizzled on a grilled or fried chicken sandwich. And I do mean fantastic! But make some Frederik’s By Meijer Creamy Jalapeno wings first!

Crystal Hot Sauce Buffalo Wings

Crystal Hot Sauce isn’t just good. It’s amazingly good. It’s not super spicy, not at all. But it’s oh so flavorful. It’s perfect on any food, but when you make a Buffalo wing sauce from it you’ve got something wonderful. These Crystal hot sauce Buffalo wings are definitely some of the best wings I’ve ever had. They are finger-licking good.

Crystal Hot Sauce Buffalo Wings

Flat-Out Deliciously Good Wings

When you make the sauce for these Crystal hot sauce Buffalo wings you have to be mindful of two things: don’t have the heat too high and don’t cook it too long. You want just the slightest simmer. Enough to melt the butter, warm things up, and dissolve the seasonings. If you have the heat too high, or cook the sauce too long, the sauce will separate. A little separation is normal, you can whisk the ingredients and they’ll come back together. But if you overheat or overcook, it won’t get that nice consistency no matter how much you whisk.

Sauce Much?

I like to serve my Buffalo wings sauced and with more of the sauce on the side, in dipping cups. I don’t over-sauce the wings themselves. I want great flavor, not a mess. But if I am craving more sauce, I have it right there, nearby, for dunking.

Is It Hot In Here?

You can adjust how hot these wings are by simply adjusting the ratio of butter to hot sauce. More butter and less hot sauce means, you guessed it, less heat. Less butter and more hot sauce? Yep, hotter wings. You can adjust them to be the way you want them. Or, if you’re feeding a crowd, make several batches. Some mild, some hot, and everyone will be more than happy!

Crystal also makes their own wing sauce. It’s delicious too!

Beef O Brady’s Garlic Parmesan Wings

We were on vacation in Georgia. I make a habit of checking out the wing sauce section of the local grocery stores when I go out of town. You never know what you might find. This time, I stopped at a Publix and wondered upon some Beef O Brady’s Garlic Parmesan wing sauce. Well, of course I bought some. And of course, as soon as we got back home I made some wings and tossed it with the sauce….. and…. Dang! What a great wing sauce! I mean crazy good! There’s no question it’s got garlic and Parmesan flavor. No question at all! Beef O Brady’s Garlic Parmesan wings are packed with flavor!

Brownwood Farms Slatherin’ Wings

Oh, how I love Brownwood Farms Slatherin’ wing sauce. I’m not always a big mustard-sauce fan, some are a bit too mustardy for me. But not this sauce. This is spot-on great mustard flavor here. And all in a nice and creamy sauce with just a bit of spiciness. It’s a rich, deeply flavored sauce that makes for the perfect batch of Brownwood Farms Slatherin’ wings.

Brownwood Farms Slatherin Wings

The Perfect Mustardy Balance

I can’t wait to make another batch of wings and toss them with Brownwood Farms Slatherin’ wing sauce. And, I also cannot wait to slather this sauce on grilled chicken breasts, or better, a whole grilled spatchcocked chicken. I can also see this sauce on a future grilled or smoked rack of ribs. Along with great flavor, this sauce has the perfect consistency so I don’t have to worry about it not sticking to my next grilled dish! And it sticks great to my Brownwood Farms Slatherin’ wings!

Poppin’ Buffalo Wings

Who doesn’t love the sound and smell from a big ole hot plate of sizzling fajitas from their local Mexican restaurant? Well, my Poppin’ Buffalo Wings are sorta kinda like that. Fantastic Buffalo wing sauce aroma and flavors. Crazy outrageous sizzling sounds! Yep, thanks to the classic candy Pop Rocks, you too can have a snap-crackle-poppin’ good wing dish!

Yeah, they’re cool. Really cool. And if you serve them at your next party, you’ll be cool too. But even after that last pop pops, there’s still good wings to be had. this isn’t all for show. These are real wings.

Poppin' Buffalo Wings

Pop Rocks. On Wings. Yes.

You don’t have to go crazy adding Pop Rocks to your Poppin’ Buffalo Wings. You’re not making candy. You don’t want to make your Buffalo wings too sweet. Just sprinkle them around just before you serve your wings, while the wings and sauce are still hot. As soon as those little candies hit that sauce they’ll start poppin’! It’s fun! Everyone wants to have fun with their food, and this has to be the most fun way to serve chicken wings that there’s ever been!

Use whatever flavor of Pop Rocks you prefer. Or mix it up. Combine a few different flavors!

Cook Wings. Sauce Wings. Serve.

Why aren’t there more details in the recipe? Well, this truly is as easy as making some wings and adding sauce. I have a full guide on how cook wings. It’s easy as heck no matter what you use, from an air fryer to a grill. You don’t need fancy tools or ingredients. If you want to season the wings, salt and pepper are enough. For the sauce, grab any bottled sauce you want. I think Buffalo is best here but you can use whatever you want.

If you need a dipping sauce, such as blue cheese or ranch dressing, serve it on the side in condiment cups. I think it’s completely optional with these wings. The key here is to get the Pop Rocks in your mouth so you can smile ASAP.

Pickle-Brined Wings

An online friend of mine recently told me that he never, ever throws out the juice left in a jar of pickles after all of the pickles are gone. He went on to say that he uses it to brine the chicken when he makes Nashville hot chicken. I thought to myself, “Darn”, as I flashed back to all of the gallons of pickle juice I’ve watched go down the drain. Man, what a waste. Though I didn’t have Nashville hot chicken on the brain… I wanted wings! And what I got were these delicious pickle-brined wings. They’re super-duper moist and super-duper flavorful.

Pickle-Brined Wings

Tender and juicy

The pickle brine doesn’t smack you in the face, it just helped make the chicken more tender and juicy. Do not fear, biting into your wings won’t be like biting into a Vlasic pickle. No, it’ll be like biting into wing greatness!

From now on I am definitely saving my pickle juice. It doesn’t have to come from just pickles either. The juice from anything pickled will do. Just save that stuff up for the next time you make pickle-brined wings and you’ll be as happy as I was.

But, if you’re like me and you threw out our pickle juice before you found this great recipe…

You can buy pickle juice in jugs now, which is just about the best thing ever.

More Heat, Perhaps?

If you want just a bit more of a kick to your wings, add some hot sauce to the pickle juice before you add the wings. The 1-4 hour soak time will let that hot sauce spice up the wings just a bit. Not crazy hot, but you’ll notice it! Don’t go crazy with it, you’re mostly adding flavor and just a bit of heat.

Also try my pickling spice wings!

Ingredients

For the wings

For the seasoning

Instructions

  • Place wings in a large resealable baggie or container.
  • Add the pickle juice. Seal and toss to coat.
  • Refrigerate for 1-4 hours, flipping occasionally
  • When ready to cook, remove the wings from the pickle juice and dab dry with a paper towel. Do not rinse.
  • Combine the seasoning ingredients and sprinkle the wings with it. Note: If you like, you can sprinkle the wings with the seasoning AFTER cooking instead. I've tried it both ways and they came out great no matter which technique I used.
