Pickling Spice Wings

I’m a pretty frugal guy. That’s why any time I make corned beef from a package I save the little packet of pickling spice that comes with it. I knew exactly what I was going to do with all of that pickling spice: make some brine for some chicken wings. And boy, was the wait ever worth it. These pickling spice wings way, way, way exceeded my expectations and then some.

Moist, tasty, tender, and still crunchy skin (sometimes hard to do when using a brine), they had a very subtle pickling spice flavor that was not overpowering or harsh. There was also a little sweetness. They were different from any other wings I’ve made or had and were absolutely fantastic.

Pickling Spice Wings

Flavor All The Way Through

Don’t ever throw away those little pickling spice packets. This same brine can be used on other cuts of chicken. Perfect on the grill, in the smoker or on a Char-Broil Big Easy (my hands-down favorite tool for cooking poultry).

Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

The first time I tried the Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings at Buffalo Wild Wings I was blown away. It was in West Chester, Ohio, and I remember it like it was yesterday because I absolutely loved the combination of coconut, curry and just a bit of heat. I could’ve just licked the sauce off the wings, but then we were in a public place and that would’ve been awkward. Ever since I’ve been looking for a copycat of BW3’s sauce, and here it is. Now I can lick the sauce off the wings in the privacy of my own home with this copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai curry wings!

Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

One Fantastically Good Sauce

I found the Shan chicken white karahi mix in the Pakistani section of our international supermarket. If you can’t find it nearby you can always order it online. It’s what makes this copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry wings so special.

I could not find Thai chile peppers in our supermarket, so I had to go to plan B. I picked up a few packages of dried cayenne peppers, reconstituted them, and chopped them up. It was a great save.

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!

Ingredients

For the wings

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

For the sauce

Instructions

For the wings

For the sauce (start cooking when you start the wings)

  • Mince the peppers and then pound in a mortar and pestle or grind into a paste using the side of a knife blade. You want the peppers to form a paste.
  • Place the peppers and remaining ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, while the wings are cooking. You want the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • NOTE: I could not find Thai peppers at our grocery store. You can substitute jalapenos or seranos for more heat. Preferably you want to use a red pepper. I bought dried cayenne peppers, which I then reconstituted in hot water for 1 hour. I then removed the seeds and minced the peppers into a paste.

Notes

The sauce is worth the effort.

Nightmare Wings

Our neighbor gave me a bottle of dried powdered Carolina Reaper pepper. I knew exactly what I was going to make with it: Nightmare wings. What I didn’t know, though, was would I survive?

Well, I’m still here! These Nightmare wings definitely packed a serious kick. But beyond that, they also had great flavor. These wings aren’t just about the heat. And if you prefer, you can certainly adjust the spiciness to your tastes. Jalapeno powder itself has just the right kick, while habanero powder brings just a bit more.

Nightmare Wings

A Serious Punch. Just What You Expected.

I enjoyed my Nightmare wings ‘dry’. That is, without sauce. The rub has such a great flavor that I really didn’t want to hide it under a sauce. Now, true, I did have plenty of Ranch dressing on hand for dipping. I needed something to help cool off the heat from the Carolina Reaper peppers. At 1.5 million Scoville units, they pack a serious punch.

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.

Chipotle Blackberry Wings

You know I love chicken wings. Any time, any way. So I was really looking forward to these wings. I made chipotle blackberry wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer, but you can make them in the oven, on a grill, or just deep fry them. The sauce is what makes these wings fantastic. A nice sweetness and a nice smoky heat. Perfect.

Chipotle Blackberry Wings

Kick It Up!

I like a little kick to my wings. If you do too, don’t be afraid to add more chipotles when you make your chipotle blackberry wings. Or add a few good shakes of hot sauce to the wing sauce.

I did serve these wings with a dipping sauce, but honestly, I could’ve skipped it. Nothing needed to be added to them that could possibly make them any better.

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!

Honey Cholula Wings

This Cholula Original Hot Sauce-based wing sauce is the perfect sauce for chicken wings. A little sweet, a little heat. As much as I like traditional Buffalo wing flavors, honey Cholula wings are a welcome change. The hot sauce does not overwhelm, and that’s just what I was looking for. Well that and some sweetness.

Honey Cholula Wings

The Perfect Sweet Heat

Sure, you can use other hot sauces when you make honey Cholula wings. I really like Cholula for the flavor and the amount of heat. It’s spicy, but not too spicy. It’s not screaming hot. I think it’s a great middle-of-the-road hot sauce and a pleasure to eat!

In A Hurry? Don’t Worry

If you’re in a hurry you can skip the marinade. Just cook the wings, and while they’re cooking, make the sauce. Keep the sauce warm until the wings are done. If you end up with leftover sauce, just make sure you set it out 30 minutes or so before you start the wings so it starts to soften. You can also microwave it for 10-15 seconds.

Drunken BBQ Wings

I normally roast my wings in my Char-Broil Big Easy or grill them over charcoal, so I was a little skeptical about this recipe for drunken BBQ chicken wings where the wings are slow-cooked in a Dutch oven. But, to my surprise, the final result was incredibly tasty and oh-so-tender. You’ll love the BBQ sauce on these wings. It’s a very traditional ketchup-based sauce with beer added in for a nice change.

Drunken BBQ Wings

Broiler Time

To get a little crisp and color, I put the wings under the broiler for a few minutes after they were completely cooked. You can also cook these wings in a crockpot. You’ll still want to brown them under the broiler a bit before serving. Or better yet, toss them on a hot grill for a bit.

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!

Chili Garlic Wings

Ketchup-based BBQ sauces are very common. Ketchup-based wing sauces? Not so much. That’s why I was (incorrectly) apprehensive about this chili garlic wing sauce at first. Would it be too ketchupy? Would I like it? No, and no. I LOVED IT! This sauce is the absolute bomb on wings. It has so many flavors packed into one bite it’s almost impossible to describe. Just the right balance of tomato, garlic, spice, sweetness and mustard. And the consistency is spot-on too. I so enjoyed these chili garlic wings!

Chili Garlic Wings

A Great Sauce To Keep On Hand

The sauce on these chili garlic wings is actually great on anything you grill, too. Slather some on some ribs, or grilled chicken. Or even better, smoked brisket or pulled pork. You’ll be thinking… hey! This is my new go-to sauce for everything!

Whew. Spicy. This here is some spicy wing sauce for sure. They weren’t a kiddin’ around at the Wing Palace (home of Palace Sauces) when they named it, that’s for sure.

Buffalo Wild Wings Medium Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

I think I may have overdone it here recently. I’ve been eating a lot of really, really spicy wings. Ya know, the kind that make your eyes water. Time for a welcome break. Time for some great tasting Buffalo-inspired wings that don’t burn off the roof of my mouth. Thanks to the fine folks at B-Dubs (uh, that’s Buffalo Wild Wings in case you aren’t up on the lingo), I got just what I wanted in their not-so-much heat Buffalo wing sauce.

Buffalo Wild Wings Medium Buffalo Wings

The Perfect Tame Sauce

Buffalo Wild Wings Medium Buffalo wing sauce is going to pretty much satisfy everyone you know. Or have met. Or will meet. It’s not in-your-face anything, just the right amount of vinegar, just the right amount of spiciness, and just the right consistency. And it’s a welcome break from those crazy hot wing sauces, that’s for sure.

Carolina Wings

I’ve always been a fan of Carolina BBQ sauces. And although there are lots of variations from region-to-region, they all have vinegar in common. These Carolina wings packed that great vinegar punch, and then some. I found myself not able to get enough of the sauce on these wings. I’m quite sure I’ll end up using this exact recipe on more than wings.

Carolina Wings

The Perfect Heat

These Carolina wings are a bit spicy, but they have the right amount of spiciness in my opinion. I like a little kick in just about everything I eat, but that doesn’t mean I need to be in pain and not able to taste my meal. The balance between the heat and sweetness is necessary, and the sauce on these wings has achieved that balance spot-on. It’s fantastic stuff.

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!
