Wing Master Smokehouse Wing Sauce Wings

Whenever my wife and I are in the Gatlinburg, Tennessee, area we always make it a point to swing by a Pepper Palace store. They have several stores in the area, including a new one in Sevierville in an area called The Island. The store, as always, was busy, with people everywhere enjoying samples of the hot sauces and salsas, from the hot to the mild. Me, I headed straight to the wing sauces and in particular, Pepper Palace’s own line of Wing Master sauces, including this Smokehouse wing sauce.

Wing Master Smokehouse Wings

The Right Amount Of Smoke And Heat

As soon as we returned from our trip I threw a few seasoned wings onto my Weber Performer grill outfitted with the Vortex insert. When the wings were done I tossed them with the Smokehouse wing sauce and dug in. The smokehouse sauce has, as you might guess, a great smoky flavor. Not overwhelmingly smoky, but really good. It really amplifies the grilled flavor of the wings. The sauce has a bit of a chipotle and wing sauce kick, but again, not overwhelming. It’s a very enjoyable sauce. I definitely wish that I’d picked up a few more bottles!

Pepper Palace Sauces Make For Happy Wings

Pepper Palace makes a ton of great sauces and seasonings, not just for wings. Find a store near you and spend an hour or two wandering the shelves. They always have an area where you can sample sauces and spices, too. It’s like flavor heaven. Instead, if there’s not one near you, take a road trip (it’ll be worth it) or order online.

Copycat Hooters Asian Wings

This copycat of the Asian wings from Hooters is beyond incredible. These are easily my favorite Asian-flavored wings. I could not possibly eat too many of them. I quickly regretted not making a bigger batch as they disappeared in minutes. The sauce is the boss here. It’s a bit sweet with a bit of soy flavor. Reduced to a thick glaze, the sauce is almost candy-like in texture. And like candy, it’s impossible to resist.

Copycat Hooters Asian Wings

Great Asian-Inspired Flavors

These copycat Hooters Asian wings are not spicy in any way, shape, or form. I’m usually a ‘hot’ hot wings guy, but these opened my eyes to wings with a sweeter flavor profile. If you want your wings to have some kick, add dried red pepper flake or cayenne to the sauce as you reduce it down. I would not add hot sauce as it would change the color of the sauce.

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!

Peri-Peri Wings

Apparently I have been living in a dark, deep cave for years and never heard of peri peri (or piri piri) sauce. Until recently, that is, when I saw an old episode of Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations where he devoured some peri peri chicken in Mozambique. He said it was great, but oh did it burn. Sounded good to me so I found a jar of peri peri sauce at Jungle Jim’s grocery store, and proceeded to make Peri-Peri wings that I then lightly covered in the sour, vinegary, slightly sweet and definitely spicy sauce.

Peri-Peri Wings

Great Flavor And Heat

I found the peri peri sauce to be quite addicting. Yeah, it’s a bit spicy but it’s really not over-the-top hot in my opinion. It brings a nice earthy pepper to these Peri-Peri wings. I can definitely see myself roasting an entire chicken and covering it in peri peri. That’d make for some mighty good eats. With a kick.

RIP Anthony.

Moore’s Honey BBQ Wing Sauce Wings

Me oh my! Talk about a pantry staple, Moore’s Honey BBQ wing sauce is it! Sure, it made for one heck of a great batch of wings. Packed with a little sweetness, and a little spiciness, it’s finger licking good stuff. But it’s more than a wing sauce. I use it wherever I need BBQ sauce, be it in a recipe or slathered on smoked ribs or grilled chicken. It’s one great all-around sauce.

Moore's Honey BBQ Wings

A Perfectly Balanced Sauce

I can’t say enough about Moore’s Honey BBQ wing sauce. It’s got that right consistency. It’s not thick and gloppy. Nor is it thin and runny. Not overly spicy, but it has a nice little kick. I like that. And just the right amount of sweetness. It sure did make my wings out-of-this-world great!

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.

Orange Sesame Wings

We love chicken wings with Asian-inspired flavors. We tend to favor the sweeter sauces versus the super hot and spicy. These orange sesame wings were absolutely incredible. As simple as they are, using easily-found ingredients, we could not stop commenting about how great they were while we devoured them. There’s a slight sweet orange citrus flavor and a good amount of sesame.

Orange Sesame Wings

A Wonderful Citrus Flavor

I sometimes find sesame-infused flavors to be easily overpowering, but not in this case. The orange marmalade cools it perfectly. And if you do want a bit of heat to offset the sweetness, add a few pinches of red pepper flake to the sauce.

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!

Moore’s Asian Teriyaki Wing Sauce Wings

Whoa back up the truck to teriyaki yumminess! We both loved the heck out Moore’s Asian Teriyaki wing sauce. Though the bottle says you can use the sauce on anything from vegetables to stir-fry to whatever, the sauce was amazing on wings. Not overly sweet as teriyaki sauce can sometimes be. Not overloaded with soy sauce or ginger. Just flat-out perfect teriyaki flavors.

Moore's Asian Teriyaki Wings

Don’t Drown Your Wings

I made sure to not overly sauce my wings. Some places you buy wings at like to bury their wings in sauce, usually to hide skimpy thin wings. Not me. I use the big wings and I want to taste the wings too, not just the sauce. Even if that sauce is delicious like Moore’s Asian Teriyaki wing sauce!

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.

Torchbearer Pineapple Papaya BBQ Sauce Wings

When I first came across Torchbearer’s Pineapple Papaya BBQ sauce, I immediately thought chicken wings. The thought of a slightly spicy, somewhat fruity sauce on wings sounded like a brilliant idea. And it proved to be exactly that, too. I found the sauce be just a bit fruity, and bit a sweet, with a bit of heat. Exactly what I was hoping for, be it on wings or smoked ribs or grilled chicken.

Torchbearer Pineapple Papaya BBQ Wings

Fruity Sweet Heat

Don’t just grab one bottle of the sauce. The bottles aren’t particularly big, and you’ll definitely want to keep some on hand at all times!

Torchbearer Pineapple Papaya BBQ sauce is the perfect consistency, no matter what you’re going to slather it on or toss it with. You’ll find yourself licking your fingers. A lot. It’s different, and it’s delicious.

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.

Torchbearer Honey Garlic Wings

This is not the first bottle of Torchbearer wing sauce that I’ve tried. And it won’t be the last, either. Because, like the others, Torchbearer Honey Garlic wing sauce is crazy good. Usually garlic wing sauces tend to be spicy. This variation brings the sweetness of honey for a nice tasty twist. Add in roasted garlic and you’ve got a great wing sauce!

Torchbearer Honey Garlic Wings

A Great Sauce For More Than Wings

Torchbearer Honey Garlic wing sauce isn’t just for wings, either. Although that’s certainly a good enough reason to run out and buy a few bottles. It’s also great as a marinade for chicken, fish, or shrimp! Or brush it on your hot-off-the-grill steak or pork chops!

San Antonio Wings

These San Antonio wings turned out to be some of the best I’ve had. I wasn’t expecting the sauce, as simple as it was, to be so drool-worthy. I could not get enough of it. And the dipping sauce was equally fantastic, with just a slight hint of cumin giving it a nice southwestern flavor. A little heat, and a little sweet. Perfect.

San Antonio Wings

Spicy. Or Not. Up To You.

The first time I made San Antonio wings I used hot picante sauce. The next, I used mild. To my surprise, I loved both equally. That’s saying something because I do normally like a good kick to my wings. Not overpowering, but a little spiciness. You can’t go wrong no matter how you make these.

Oh, and the dipping sauce isn’t just great for San Antonio wings. It’s also yummy dipping for tortilla chips.

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!

Heritage Fare Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

This right here is one fantastic bottled Buffalo wing sauce. Heritage Fare hit this one out of the park, big time. Just the right Buffalo flavor, just the right amount of heat. And Heritage Fare Buffalo chicken wings sauce has just the right consistency, too. And that’s just as important as taste. Doesn’t matter how great tasting a sauce is if it all ends up at the bottom of a plate, and not on your wings!

Heritage Fare Buffalo Chicken Wings

Great Classic Buffalo Flavor

I can’t recommend Heritage Fare Buffalo wing sauce enough. I loved it. Sure, you can make a Buffalo wing sauce at home easy enough, but you’re going to have a hard time beating the taste and convenience of it right out of the bottle.

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.
