Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper Wing Dust Wings

One thing is for sure, when you open a package of Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper wing dust, you don’t have to ask yourself which of their fantastic flavors you’re having. It’s darned obvious. Kosmos Q seasonings don’t mess around. They are packed with flavor. And that means you don’t have to use much to enjoy a batch of wonderfully-flavored wings. Lovely citrus and black pepper make this seasoning perfect on dry wings.

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper Wing Dust Wings

This Ain’t No Lame Wing Dust

Kosmos Q Lemon Pepper wing dust is a great change from the usual spicy Buffalo-inspired seasonings. So, it’s not just great on wings, either. Sprinkle it generously on grilled or roasted chicken. It’s also great on roasted potatoes and veggies. You can’t go wrong with it no matter what you use it on!

You get a lot in each and every bag of Kosmos Q’s wing dusts. The seasonings are high quality and seasoned perfectly. You won’t regret buying it. And you won’t regret doing what I did: buy a bag of each and every flavor to try, then order much, much more!

Copycat Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing

I was looking for a new dipping sauce for wings. I love Ranch dressing and I have to admit that it’s my go-to. But I also love blue cheese dressing. So I made this copycat of the blue cheese salad dressing from Outback Steakhouse. This instantly became my favorite chicken wing dipping sauce (and salad dressing).

Copycat Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing

The Perfect Wing Dunking Dressing

You really need to let this copycat Outback Steakhouse blue cheese salad dressing ‘get happy’ in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. I actually prefer to let it sit overnight. The flavors get blended as you wait, and the wait is worth it. If you taste the dressing just moments after you make it you might be disappointed as it won’t have much flavor. That flavor comes later, so be patient! Then get yourself some wings, some of this dressing and GET TO IT!

I use this little ole sauce dipping cups for my salad dressings and dipping sauces. Whether I’m dipping wings, nuggets or chicken tenders or whatever, they’re the perfect size. And they’re easy to clean up, too. As an added bonus they help me with serving size, which is a good thing because I lack control around this blue cheese dressing!

Kosmos Q Kickin’ Cajun Wing Dust Wings

I’m a HUGE fan of dry wings. I’ve found myself eating them more and more these days. Wings tossed with a seasoning, such as Kosmos Q’s Kickin Cajun wing dust make for the perfect lunch or appetizer. No sauce required.

I tossed some air fryer wings with Kosmos Q’s Kickin’ Cajun wing dust and proceeded to devour each and every one. The wing dust is crazy flavorful and it definitely has a kick to it. At first I was a bit overwhelmed by the heat, but then I found myself craving it more and more. And more. I couldn’t stop myself, I absolutely loved it. I loved the kick and I loved the spice.

Kosmos Q Kickin' Cajun Wing Dust Wings

The Kick Is Comin’. Get Ready.

The first time I made wings with Kosmos Q’s Kickin’ Cajun wing dust I went pretty light on it. It was nice and spicy, but I found myself wanting more. So the next time I loaded up big time with the dust. Oh yeah, my mouth was on fire but it was a good fire. I think I now have a full-blown addiction to it.

You get a lot in each and every bag of Kosmos Q’s wing dusts. The seasonings are high quality and seasoned perfectly. You won’t regret buying it. And you won’t regret doing what I did: buy a bag of each and every flavor to try, then order much, much more!

Secret Aardvark Habanero Wings

As soon as I saw a squeeze bottle of Secret Aardvark habanero sauce in the grocery store I knew it would make for the best wing sauce. Oh, yes, it’s great on and in a lot of recipes, for sure. But on wings, it’s crazy good. And darned spicy for that matter. It isn’t messing around when it comes to the heat. It also has a fantastic consistency to it. It’s not too thin or thick. It sticks to your wings. And your fingers. You taste tomato, onion, carrots… and definitely habanero. Make a wing sauce with it and you’ll be just as pleased as I was!

Secret Aardvark Habanero Wings

Grown Up Flavor For Grown Up Tastes

Secret Aardvark habanero wings are what Buffalo wings want to be like when they grow up. Oh, ain’t nothing wrong with Buffalo wings, not at all. But for something a bit different, and definitely a bit spicier, try this sauce on wings and you’ll love it.

Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

I’m pretty much a Ranch dressing wing-dipping kind of guy. Sometimes I’ll go ‘nuts’ and dip with blue cheese dressing. I’m always on the lookup for a way to amp up my Ranch dressing, just to make sure I don’t get bored with it. This jalapeno Ranch dressing combines a few ingredients with bottled dressing and in no time, boom! Upscale Ranch dressing with a nice mild kick.

Jalapeno Ranch Dressing

Ranch. With A kick.

This jalapeno Ranch dressing definitely needs to get happy in the fridge for AT LEAST 2 hours before serving. I actually prefer to let it blend overnight. It thickens up then too, making it perfect for sticking to wings. Heck, you don’t want the stuff just running right off, do you?

And don’t fear the jalapeno. It adds a nice pepper flavor, with just a little heat. You can use more if you want more of a kick but I wouldn’t use less or you won’t notice it much.

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Messy. Very messy. And very good. Normally, I don’t drown my wings in sauce, but this time there was no choice. No turning back. These jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings are actually crazy good. I’m not sure why I was surprised. The sauce contains all of my favorite things. But yeah, they’re messy. And quite spicy, too. I could not stop eating them.

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Worth The Mess

The jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wing sauce is also great on hot dogs and hamburgers. That’s a good thing since the recipe below makes more than you’ll need for a family pack of wings. I’ve found that the sauce is actually better the next day, so plan ahead and let it ‘get happy’ overnight in the fridge before using it.

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!

Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Teriyaki Wing Sauce Wings

Oh, deliciously sweet, sticky, Asian-inspired wing, how do I love you!? I looked like a bulldog with a pork chop when I started chowing down on some Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Teriyaki wing sauce wings. Heck, you’d think I hadn’t eaten in a week. I couldn’t help myself. Yeah, there are a ton of things you can use SBRs sauce (and marinade) on, but for me, wings is it. Done.

Sweet Baby Ray's Sweet Teriyaki Wings

So Sweet And So Good

Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Teriyaki wing sauce doesn’t pack any heat. It’s sweet, just like the name says. But, if you’re looking for that extra little something, a little kick, add some hot sauce. I wouldn’t go crazy with it though. This sauce is perfect as it is and a welcomed change from Buffalo-style wing sauces.

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.

Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wing Sauce Wings

I’m not required to pick a favorite, but this is my favorite wing sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings. The right amount of spiciness, a hint of coconut and a bit of curry. I could drink this sauce right out of the bottle. Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry wing sauce is fantastic on wings, and it’s also great on ribs, chicken sandwiches, and it makes a great sauce for dipping chicken nuggets.

Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

More, Please!

I’m a big fan of curry flavors. And aromas. And this sauce has both. There’s no mistaking wings that are covered in this sauce. You won’t take a taste and find yourself wondering… “Is that curry I taste?”. There’s no question about it.

Harissa Wings

After making roasted harissa cauliflower the other day (my first encounter with harissa) I knew after the first bite that the next thing I was going to make with the spicy red pepper paste would be Harissa wings. There was no doubt in my mind that I was in for a wonderful treat. You get a nice kick, but don’t be afraid. Harissa is not crazy spicy, not at all. It has a wonderful earthy flavor to it. I could eat it all day. On wings I could eat it all week.

Harissa Wings

Great Mediterranean-Inspired Flavors

The Harissa sauce for making harissa wings can be found in the Mediterranean section of your local grocery store. I haven’t tried making it home yet, but I will. The consistency reminds me a bit of hummus, though it’s certainly not hummus. But, oh…. it just hit me… harissa sure would be great in hummus! I’m off to try that now!

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!

Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar Dry Wings

The bottle says right on it, in big letters, ‘Salt and Vinegar’. It’s no fib, either. No false advertising there. Nothing but truth. Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar wing seasoning brings the salt and vinegar. Don’t open it and stick your nose in and take a big whiff unless you’re prepared for the vinegar, because it’s coming.

Buffalo Wild Wings Salt and Vinegar Wings

The Perfect Combination of Salt and Vinegar

I usually only season my dry wings after cooking. But for extra flavor, try tossing the raw wings with a few tablespoons of vegetable oil and then season well. Cook as desired, then season more just before serving.

This is my first time using a seasoning from Buffalo Wild Wings. I loved the flavor for sure. Good thing I bought a bottle of each of their available flavors to try!

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.
