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.

I use these little sauce dipping cups for dipping my wings. They’re also great for things like nuggets, tenders and even dipping vegetables. As an added bonus, they’re as to clean too!

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Messy. Very messy. And very good. Normally, I don’t drown my wings in sauce, but this time I had no choice. There was no turning back. These jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings are so darn crazy good that I was going all-in like never before. 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 despite the mess and heat. And when I took that last bite I was sad. I really wanted more!

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Worth The Mess

The sauce on these jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings 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.

You can make the sauce nice and smooth (like I did, for wings) or keep it a bit chunky for something like hot dogs or burgers. Just don’t process it as much in your blender or food processor. And remember, you can always process it more, but you can’t process it less so keep an eye on it!

Feeling Kinda Wimpy?

Hey nothing wrong with not wanting a lot of heat. There’s plenty of it in this sauce. But if you’re feeling like maybe you want a little less burn, you can substitute roasted green chiles for the jalapenos. That’s a start.

There’s not a lot you can do to cut back on the heat from the hot sauce. Why? Because it’s hot sauce. My only recommendation is to have a nice big bowl of ranch or blue cheese salad dressing nearby. I use these little condiment cups for that. They’re perfect for wing dunking!

Sweet Baby Ray’s Sweet Teriyaki 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 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.

Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry 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!

Honey Old Bay Wings

My addiction to Old Bay seasoning began long ago, in crab and shrimp boils. And as often as possible, I still feed my addiction. Now, though, I also get my fix with chicken wings. These honey Old Bay wings not only have that great seafood seasoning flavor, they have a bit of sweetness too. And a bit of heat. Not a lot, but just a hint. Nothing to overpower the main reason I made these wings: Old Bay flavor. I’m a big time Old Bay addict and I’m ok admitting it.

I think these are amazingly-good wings. No, they aren’t complicated. Not even close. They use ingredients you very likely have on-hand. And it requires almost no time at all to make. That’s just an all-around win in my book!

Honey Old Bay Wings

The Perfect Wings?

My favorite variation on these honey Old Bay wings is to leave out the cayenne pepper and substitute Mike’s Hot Honey for ‘regular’ honey instead. Mike’s Hot Honey is just that: hot danged honey! It’s creamy smooth and packs a serious kick. It’s not for the faint of heart, so if you’re a bit worried about the heat, try adding just a bit of it to your ‘regular’ honey and give it a taste.

Chipotle pepper powder is also a great substitute for the cayenne. It still adds a little heat. But it also adds a little smokiness. Heck, it is ground smoked dried jalapenos, after all!

No Heat Zone

Yep, you bet, you can leave out the cayenne pepper. There’s really not that much of it in the sauce but ‘not a lot’ can be subjective. If you want, just don’t even add it. Or add less.

Buffalo Wild Wings Jammin’ Jalapeno Wings

Where have I been that I haven’t tried Buffalo Wild Wings Jammin’ Jalapeno wing sauce? I mean, dang I love this sauce! Just a bit spicy (perfectly so). A hint of lime (but not too lime-y!). And just a bit of Tequila (not much, but it adds a little something). I truly enjoyed this sauce, it’s one of my all-time store-bought favorites. If you’re looking for something different, something that stands out from your ‘usual’ Buffalo wing sauce, this sauce is for you. And me.

Buffalo Wild Wings Jammin' Jalapeno Wings

Great Sauces. Grab Yourself Some!

This wing sauce is just one of the sauces I picked up at my local BW3 the other day. I admit it, I backed up the truck and bought one of each. And all of their wing seasonings too. There’s just no point in picking up one or two. There are wings to make. Lots and lots of wings. This isn’t the time to dilly dally.

You can order the sauces (and BW’s seasonings) online but it’s more fun to go into your local restaurant and get them there. It’s a great excuse to sit down, take a break, and enjoy some wings (and maybe an adult beverage). Ask your waitstaff about what flavors they have on-hand. Then order up a bunch. The fine folks at our BWs double-bagged mine because, well, I had a ton of them! And if you’re enrolled in BWs reward program (and why you’re not, I do not know!), you’ll earn tons of points just for enjoying some sauces! How’s that for great!

Needless to say, you’ll be seeing a lot more BW3s posts here soon.

PS: All of Buffalo Wild Wings’ sauces are great to serve at parties. Just set the bottle out next to the wings so folks know what flavor is where and on what.

Kosmos Q Honey Barbecue Wing Dust Wings

I’m a HUGE fan of dry wings. You know, wings that are cooked up nice and crunchy then tossed with a seasoning such as Kosmos Q’s Honey Barbecue wing dust. No sauce. Yeah, you can have a dipping sauce, but the wings themselves are not tossed in anything but seasoning. I’m happy to see more and more restaurants and bars now offer dry wings in addition to wet ones.

I tossed some air fryer wings with Kosmos Q’s Honey Barbecue wing dust and proceeded to devour each and every one. And quickly. I loved the lightly smoky, lightly sweet seasoning. They weren’t quite what I would call dessert wings, but I sure felt like I was cheating on my diet when I was eating them (even though I wasn’t!). The dust is definitely finger-licking good!

Kosmos Q Honey Barbecue Wing Dust Wings

Not Just For Wings, Nope

Kosmos Q Honey Barbecue wing dust isn’t just for wings, nope. This stuff is fantastic on a grilled chicken, be it pieces or a whole bird. You can sprinkle it on popcorn. And on roasted peanuts. Ribs. Anywhere you’re looking for some BBQ sweetness, reach for Kosmos Q first.

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!

Crispy Convection Oven Wings

Most of the time I make wings either on a charcoal grill using the Vortex insert, on my Char-Broil Big Easy, in an air fryer, or I deep fry them. But sometimes none of those options are available. Or I like to just cook my wings differently. That’s when I ‘fire up’ my convection oven. And you know, the wings are actually pretty darned good! Nothing will ever match deep frying wings in oil, but this is close enough when a deep fryer isn’t available. And since there’s not all that oil (and mess), these are a bit healthier and cleanup is quicker! These crispy convection oven wings satisfy my wing craving just fine, thank you!

Crispy Convection Oven Wings

No Sad Wings!

When your crispy convection oven wings are done, don’t make them sad by adding cold wing sauce right out of the fridge! That cold sauce will kill some of that crispiness that you had, and it’ll make your wings mighty darned cold! So if you’re using leftover, refrigerated sauce, warm it up while the wings are cooking. Then sauce those little beauties right out of the oven!

In A Hurry?

You can skip the overnight ‘marinade’ if you don’t have the time. Just some oil and the seasoning on the wings, and into the oven they go. They’ll still be fantastically good.

Crispier?

If you want to put the wings under the broiler for a few minutes after they are cooked to crisp them up even more and give them more color you can. BUT! You cannot keep them on parchment paper or a silpat if you do this!!! You must remove the wings and place them directly on a baking sheet. NO PARCHMENT PAPER! NOTHING! And keep an eye on them. They’ll burn quickly.
