Ancho Peach Wings

I was sad. Sad because I definitely did not make enough wings. Tossed with ancho peach sauce, these wings were so good it would be almost impossible to eat too many. Slightly smoky. Slightly sweet. And a little heat. And the perfect consistency to stick to the wings and not to the bottom of the plate. Grab some napkins and get ready… there’s nothing but great stuff here!

Ancho Peach Wings

Try different preserves

Apricot preserves also make for a great ancho wing sauce, so feel free to mix things up a bit. I strongly recommend doubling the sauce. Any leftover can be used on grilled chicken, smoked ribs, pulled pork, you name it. It’s just all-around great and not just on ancho peach wings.

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!

For the sauce

  • Note: I placed all of the sauce ingredients into a food processor and processed until smooth first. I would say it’s optional depending on how chunky your peach preserves are and how chunky you want your wings sauce to be.
  • Combine ingredients in a sauce pan over low heat. Keep warm until ready to use.

Notes

If you have any leftover sauce, warm it up before using.

Alfredo Chicken Wings

These Alfredo chicken wings are proof that sometimes its a good idea to step outside of your wing comfort zone and try something you’d never thought you’d try. Sure, I’m a big fan of chicken alfredo. It’s on my menu rotation often around here. But for some reason I’d never thought of saucing wings in that wonderfully creamy rich sauce. Well, let me tell you folks! These are great wings! Totally different. Totally great! And boy, talk about a ‘wow’ factor!

You can cook the wings any way you want. Oven. Deep fryer. Air fryer. It doesn’t really matter. Just get them in that delicious, creamy, rich cheesy sauce and get to eating! (And smiling!)

Alfredo Chicken Wings

Homemade. Or From A Bottle.

I’ve included the ingredients and steps to make a quick and easy Alfredo sauce from scratch. And it’s great stuff on these Alfredo chicken wings. But you don’t have to make your own if you don’t want to. Just grab a bottle of your favorite sauce from the store and warm it up. Boom. Instant creamy wing sauce. Who knew?

Just A Tad, Thanks

Now, I like a good bit of sauce on my chicken alfredo. But on my wings, I went a bit lighter. I still wanted to taste that delicious wing. Next time, I might serve a little extra warmed sauce on the side, for dipping. Heck, ‘might’ nothing. I will.

Instructions

For the wings

  • Note: These instructions are for cooking the wings in the oven. You can cook the wings any way you like, like in an air fryer or deep fryer, and coat in the sauce before serving.
  • Preheat oven to 375 F.
  • Season the wings with salt and pepper. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray.
  • Bake wings for 20 minutes.
  • While the wings are cooking make the sauce. Keep the sauce warm while the wings finish.
  • Flip the wings and bake another 20 minutes.
  • Flip one more time and finish cooking for 15 more minutes.
  • If you want more crisp or color to your wings you can place them under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep an eye on them while using the broiler.
  • Transfer wings to the sauce (working in batches as needed) and turn to coat.
  • Serve garnished with chopped parsley and more parmesan.

For the sauce

  • Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium heat.
  • Slowly whisk in the whipping cream.
  • Season with salt and pepper, stir and let come to a slow boil.
  • Turn heat down to low and let simmer 3-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • Add the cheese and stir.
  • Keep warm until ready to use.

Notes

You can substitute 2 cups of store-bought Alfredo sauce. Just warm it slightly while the wings are cooking.
If you like your wings extra saucy you may want to double the sauce recipe. You can always use any leftover sauce (if there is any) over pasta.

Aji Amarillo Wings

Aji amarillo is an orange-colored pepper from Peru. I haven’t been able to find it in the US in pepper-form, but you can find a paste made from pureed aji peppers in some foreign food markets. Aji amarillo rates between 35,000 and 50,000 on the Scoville scale, meaning it’s about as hot as Tabasco sauce. It has a nice fruity flavor that reminds me a bit of habanero, but without the scorching heat. I encountered aji amarillo often in dishes throughout Peru when I lived there long, long ago.

Aji Amarillo Wings

Aji pepper flavor

Since I love chicken wings, I decided to cook up a batch and instead of saucing them with just a traditional Buffalo sauce, I made a variation that adds aji amarillo paste. The end result was just a bit spicy, with a fantastic fruity pepper flavor.

Kick it up!

These were fantastic wings, and definitely a nice twist on the usual. If you like your wings to be a bit spicier, just add more of the aji amarillo paste. Since it’s not overwhelmingly hot you don’t have to worry about a-little-goes-a-long-ways: you can add quite a bit and still get great flavor without burning the roof of your mouth.

Alabama White Sauce BBQ Wings

Alabama white sauce is the kind of BBQ sauce that I thought was a bit odd at first. I love mayonnaise, but in a BBQ sauce? Huh? Vinegar, yeah, I get that. But the mayonnaise threw me, even though I’m a mayo-holic. But like a good lil trooper, I tried it and boy did I love it. Do love it. I’ve made my own a few times, but I recently discovered Duke’s Alabama style white southern dipping sauce and it’s one that I really really like, so that’s what I put on my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings!

Alabama White Sauce BBQ Wings

Go easy on the sauce

I like my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings just lightly sauced. Too much and I start to think I’m having potato salad. Or a creamy macaroni salad. The sauce has a great flavor, but there’s no need to go crazy with it. That’s just my opinion, of course. You can always put some sauce on the side for dipping your chicken wings.

Air Fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Seasoning Dry Wings

Yer derned tootin’ I was heavy handed when I seasoned these air fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo seasoning dry wings. I love this seasoning. I am never shy with how much I use. These wings made for the perfect lunch. Dry wings rock. If you’ve never tried them, you should. The right seasoning on a wing can make for a wonderful eating experience. I’ll put dry wings up against any wet wings any day of the week. They’re both great.

Bring the Flavor. And More.

These air fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo seasoning dry wings start out with a bit of a heat when you take a bite. Right up front. Oh, it’s not overly spicy. Not at all. Just a nice little kick to let you know it’s there.

Then comes the flavor. And lots of it. Garlic. Cayenne. And I swear butter. This is like having a Buffalo wing without having sauce all over your hands and face. Instead, well.. you’ll have seasoning all over your hands and face! Still a win win!

If you want (and you do), don’t be afraid to triple-season your wings. Once before cooking (just a little). Then toss them in more seasoning after cooking (a good dose). And finally, sprinkle them with some more (another good dose). You’ll thank me!

Air Fryer Buc-ee’s Barbecue Sauce Wings

It was crazy!

I’ve been to two different Buc-ee’s. Both times the experience was almost surreal. The sheer number of people almost overwhelmed me. There was merchandise everywhere. There were packaged snacks and fountain drinks everywhere. More importantly, there was food everywhere. Good-looking, just-made great smelling food.

The brisket station

I flowed through the crowd and went to my destination: the brisket sandwich station. I’d heard stories, I’d read the rumors. They chop the brisket right out of the smoker (after yelling ‘brisket is on the table!’) and sauce it with Buc-ee’s barbecue sauce. I gotta tell ya, it was one good sandwich. I immediately grabbed a bottle of the sauce and knew what I was making when I got back home: air fryer Buc-ee’s barbecue wings.

Air Fryer Buc-ee's Barbecue Wings

Just right!

These air fryer Buc-ee’s barbecue wings were fantastic. The sauce has just the right consistency for wings. Not too thick and not too thin. Perfect for sticking to my wings. It’s lightly sweet but definitely not overly so. There’s a light hint of smokiness, a little hickory to give it that traditional ketchup-based BBQ sauce flavor. These wings are finger-licking good and then some. And easy to make to boot!

To find a bottle of the sauce visit your nearest Buc-ee’s. And take my advice. Pick up a bunch of it, it’s great on anything BBQed!

Adobo Buffalo Wings

Nothing makes me happier than discovering a wing sauce that can be used on much more than ‘just’ wings. The sauce on these adobo Buffalo wings packs some mild heat, just enough and just right. There’s a little sweetness, a little smokiness, and my favorite, a hint of soy sauce. Each bite is a wonderful combination of flavors.

Adobo Buffalo Wings

One great sauce!

The sauce on these adobo Buffalo wings is thick, thick enough for sticking to smoked or grill ribs, chicken, burgers… you name it. I’d definitely recommend doubling the sauce.

Kick it up a bit!

For a little more kick add more adobo, cayenne or red chili flakes. You can also substitute hot sauce for the Buffalo wing sauce, but the Buffalo sauce does add that nice traditional wing flavor.

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!

Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy Sauce Wings

Never has a bottle of hot sauce disappeared so fast than when I made a few batches of Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy sauce wings. I love this sauce so much I could not get enough. The wings? Simplicity defined: seasoned wings, cooked. The sauce? Easy too. Just hot sauce and a little butter. The result? Absolutely delicious. The sauce is a Mexican hot sauce with just a touch of heat but oh, the flavors. So good. This tomato-based sauce is different than any other sauce you’ve had.

Acapulco Joe's Hot Sassy Sauce Wings

The Story Behind The Sauce

Acapulco Joe’s was a well-loved Mexican restaurant here in Indianapolis. The restaurant is long gone, but fortunately the sauces live on. Normally used as a table sauce for tacos, chips… anything, it is of course my goal (and my duty!) to use everything on wings. Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy Sauce wings make me smile. Not just because they taste great (and they do!) but because it’s a great example of how a non-wing sauce makes for a great wing sauce!

It may seem odd, but I thought ‘spaghetti’ when I first tried this sauce. Well, after that I thought tacos but the tomato and spices made me think it’d be great on pasta. Now, I just need to order more!

5 Salt 5 Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings

Oh, me. These 5 Salt and 5 Pepper air fryer dry wings are why I am such a big fan of un-sauced wings. Sure, you can make these and still sauce them. And you should. But do yourself a favor and try them dry. They’ll make a believer out of you.

Packed with flavor

The 5 Salt and 5 Pepper seasoning from Kroger is packed with flavor. So, you ask yourself, really? Are there really 5 different kinds of salt and 5 different kinds of pepper in it? Yes! Here’s proof. The salts: sea, pink Himalayan, Cypress white, French grey, and fleur de sel. The peppers: cayenne, chili, black, red and green bell. All combine for a decidedly different taste that hits every part of your tongue. And makes it tingle!

5 Salt 5 Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings

Be heavy-handed!

Do not be shy with the seasoning when it comes time to make your 5 Salt 5 Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings. Seasoning them good and let them dry brine in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking them. That’ll help get some of fantastic salty pepperiness deep inside, making each bite completely incredible. Afterward, season them even more after they’re cooked up crispy hot.

Copycat Whataburger Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

I always get really excited whenever I find a good new recipe for blue cheese or ranch dressing. Yeah, sure most people might think ‘salad’ but I think ‘wings’. I like them easy and I like them tasty. This copycat Whataburger buttermilk ranch dressing is spot-on fantastic for dipping wings. It’d probably be good on a salad, too. I dunno. I do wings.

Copycat Whataburger Buttermilk Ranch Dressing

Stop At The Light

I gotta say, and I can’t say it enough… don’t go light when you’re making any kind of dressing for dipping your wings. Well, I can’t tell you what to do, so I’ll say I ‘recommend that you don’t use light ingredients’. We’re here to enjoy great wings with a great dipping sauce to help cool us off a bit so we can get back to the wings. Ok, yeah, maybe there’s a carrot stick or a piece of celery we can drag through it too. But we’re here for great wings and a great dressing. Use the ‘heavy ‘stuff.
