Orange Wings

The idea for these orange chicken wings came to me quite easily. I had made a big, huge batch of orange chicken on my Char-Broil Big Easy and had a good amount of orange chicken sauce leftover.  Any time I have leftover sauce I think wings. The sauce has the perfect citrus flavor, with just a bit of heat and just a bit of sweetness. The perfect balance of flavors, making every wing a great taste experience. I loved it and could actually just drink the sauce.

Orange Wings

Orange Wings. Yes, Orange.

I recommend only using fresh oranges for these orange chicken wings. After zesting one orange, juice it and then juice a few others until you get 3 cups. In a pinch, or when oranges aren’t in season, use a good quality orange juice. You want get that extra punch you get from the zest, but you’ll still end up with fantastic 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!

Wicked Sticky Wings

Warning: The term ‘sticky’ is a tremendous understatement when it comes to describing these Wicked Sticky wings. Think sticky molasses, and then think stickier. Don’t spill the sauce (like someone I know might have done) or you will be cleaning counter tops and sinks and what-not for days. Trust me. Now, on to the wings…

These wings are crazy good. Wicked heat. Sticky sweet. I made them crispy style on my Char-Broil Big Easy, but you can make them anyway you like, from smoking them to deep frying them. It’s the sauce that shines here, and boy is it messy great. Wicked sticky wings are called that for a reason.

Wicked Sticky Wings

Sticky Really Doesn’t Describe It

I went simple with the dipping sauce for these wicked sticky wings. Just straight-out-of-the-bottle chilled Ranch dressing. Nothing fancy, just something to offset the kick of the sauce just a bit.

Tyson Caribbean Style Crispy Wings

I eat my share of wings. And then some. Usually, that means picking up a family pack of 3-4 pounds of fresh wings at the grocery store and cooking them up in whatever way I want. But, I also always keep some frozen, pre-made wings on hand for ‘wing emergencies’. And because, well, I like them. I picked up a bag of these Tyson Caribbean Style crispy wings and made them the other day. While they were cooking they gave off an aroma that got my mouth watering big time. Then I got to eating…

Tyson Caribbean Style Crispy Wings

Crunchy Battered Yumminess

Tyson Caribbean Style crispy wings are a variety of wing pieces that are seasoned and battered. Some pieces are big, some are small and some are in-between. All you have to do is toss them into the air fryer or oven for a little bit. They come out hot and crispy. They have a hint of spiciness to them, with a slight hint of island-inspired flavors. The seasoning is not overwhelming. It’s very nice and right down the middle of the road as far as not being too strong. You could easily serve these wings to a crowd for the big game, though you’d probably want to make them in the oven since you can only do a small amount at a time in the air fryer.

A Little Extra Cook Time

I like to cook these wings a few more minutes longer than the bag states for the normal cooking time. It could just be my air fryer or oven. But I do like crunchier wings, and that extra time gets me to wing happiness.

Not Just For Football Games

You can easily cook up a batch of these wings and serve them with your favorite sides for a meal. Don’t just think of them as handheld goodies for the big game. They’re great any time! So make some Caribbean rice and maybe some black beans and enjoy!

Twice-Fried Air Fryer Wings

What started out as an experiment turned out to be some of the best wings I’ve made. These twice-fried air fryer wings have tremendous flavor. More than just if I’d just seasoned some wings and tossed them into the fryer. No sauce at first. An initial cool and an overnight stay in the fridge turns out almost like dry-brining the wings. The meat has much more flavor. The texture is still great. The skin is still crunchy. Saucing them after the second fry is optional in my opinion. They’re great without a sauce.

Twice-Fried Air Fryer Wings

More Flavor. More Better.

I recommend that you go heavy with the seasoning for the first fry of these twice-fried air fryer wings. That flavor will ‘soak’ in overnight in the fridge. You don’t need to season them again after that. You can add some after the last fry if you want. And you can add sauce at that time too, if you wish.

Torchbearer Chipotle Wing Sauce Wings

I’ve been contemplating how I would start this post for two days now. Not because I was searching for what to write, but because any time I started thinking about these Torchbearer Chipotle wing sauce wings I got hungry and had to go make something to eat.

We were in Gatlinburg, TN, not too long ago. I stopped in to All Sauced Up, a little gourmet grocery store (full of nice folk) on main (Parkway) street in downtown Gatlinburg. So I grabbed two bottles of wing sauce from Torchbearer Sauces, one spicy chipotle and one Buffalo wing. For one thing, I noticed was that both sauces were made from stuff I wouldn’t expect in a wing sauce, like mandarin oranges. Say what?

Well, say hello to absolutely unbelievably good. I coated these wings with Torchbearer chipotle wings sauce. Yep, it’s spicy. All in all, it’s got some of the best heat I’ve had. Not in-your-face-crying-tears-of-sadness heat, but good heat with fantastic flavor. The sauce comes out thick and sticks to your wings. Nope, it doesn’t roll off and create a sauce lake in your plate (or basket). It’s just spot-on great sauce.

Torchbearer Chipotle Wings

Spicy And Delicious

I could not get enough of these wings. Basically, I coated them first and then deep fried them. Tossed them in Torchbearer chipotle wing sauce and chowed down. So, go get you some of this sauce! You will not be sorry. At all. Oh, and the Torchbearer web site also recommends using this sauce on pork chops and in stir fry. Indeed, you don’t get that from any ole normal 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 Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

This Buffalo wing sauce is a little tamer in the heat department, but still oh soooo good. This was my wife’s absolute favorite sauce. And her favorite wings of all time. Of all time! Man, that says a lot when you consider how many wings get eaten around here. My wife is definitely a big fan of Torchbearer Buffalo wings!

This is the second flavor of Torchbearer wing sauce that I’ve tried. The first, chipotle, was beyond crazy good with fantastic flavor and heat.

Torchbearer Buffalo Wings

Great Tasting Heat In Every Bite

I coated these Torchbearer Buffalo wing sauce wings first (ala Hooter’s wings) and then deep fried them. Tossed them in Torchbearer sauce and chowed down. And kept chowing. Oh, and don’t waste your time with those scrawny frozen uncooked wings that look like they came off crickets and not chickens. Get the big, fresh family packs.

Get yourself some of this sauce. You will not be sorry.

TGI Friday’s Honey BBQ Snack Wings

I don’t just make fresh wings at home. I think it’s important to try other wings. Like these TGI Friday’s Honey BBQ snack wings. I know that not everyone wants to grab a pack of fresh wings from the store and go thru the process of prepping and cooking them. It’s a bit of work. And if you have a house full of guests you don’t want to be stuck in the kitchen. But you also don’t want to serve bad wings. I can say these are actually pretty good wings. They are definitely some of the best frozen wings I’ve found.

TGI Friday's Honey BBQ Snack Wings

Tasty. And Easy.

I liked the sauce on these TGI Friday’s Honey BBQ snack wings. It’s lightly sweet and a pretty good BBQ sauce on its own. There’s plenty of sauce on each wing too. I didn’t run into a case where one wing was sauced and one wasn’t. The coating on the wings is good too. The wings are reasonably meaty, and I found the wings to be pretty consistent in quality. I can’t say I’ve always had that same experience with other frozen wing brands.

I cooked my wings in the oven. I’m not a big fan of microwaved wings even though the packaging has instructions for cooking them there. The oven gives you just a bit of a crunch to the wings and I like that. Plus they’re easy. Just make sure you use some non-stick spray on the foil before adding the wings. They do like to stick a bit.

Teriyaki Dry Wings

Man, these Teriyaki dry wings were so good. They disappeared in no time at all. It’s amazing the great flavors you can get with so few ingredients and in no time at all. You can’t beat these wings. The star of the show is the dipping sauce. If you’ve never had dry wings now is the time to try them. Having the sauce on the side means you get to enjoy the best of both worlds. Nicely spiced, tasty dry wings and a great sauce.

Tangy Wings

Oh my goodness do I ever love this tangy wing sauce. Simple, no-frills ingredients go together in no time. The result is a kicked-up Buffalo wing sauce. Just the right amount of kick. Not too much vinegar. And the perfect consistency. The sauce sticks to the wings without being gloppy. This sauce is different in a lot of good ways. Make a double batch, you’ll need it!

Tangy Wings

No Frills. But Oh What A Thrill!

If you want your tangy wing sauce to have a bit more kick you can add a few pinches of cayenne. Or a few good shakes of hot sauce. But don’t go crazy with the heat. This sauce is pretty perfect as it is. It already gets a bit of heat from the Buffalo sauce. You could of course just use a hotter Buffalo sauce if you want!
