Meijer Bourbon Honey Mustard Wings

Is it possible for a bottled store-brand wing sauce to be too good? No, but Meijer Bourbon Honey Mustard wing sauce is about as good as you can get. All of the flavors are balanced and at just the right levels for me. Not too much bourbon flavor. Just the right honey sweetness. And the right mustardy vinegar kick. It’s different and delicious.

Meijer Bourbon Honey Mustard Wings

I contacted Meijer’s corporate office about the fact that I couldn’t find their Honey Bourbon wing sauce online. As of the time of this post they haven’t added it yet. So just head to your local Meijer and grab a bottle from the condiment section. While you’re there grab a few bottles of the other great Meijer wing sauces, like Caribbean Jerk.

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.

Joey Chestnut Sweet Sriracha Teriyaki Wings

Man, what a great wing sauce this is. When I first ran across a display of Joey Chestnut Sweet Sriracha Teriyaki wing sauce my first reaction was ‘now that’s definitely different’. I’ve tried a few of Joey’s (I hope I can call him Joey) wing flavors, and they’ve all been crazy good. This one is no exception. It goes on a bit thick, but not too thick. It’s a bit sweet, but a lot of that sweetness is tamed by Sriracha heat. Add in a hint of Asian-inspired goodness and you’ve got a wonderful combination of flavors. I’m a big fan of this sauce. Well, actually, I’m a fan of every one of the wing sauces from Joey Chestnut.

Joey Chestnut Sweet Sriracha Teriyaki Wings

Joey Chestnut’s Sweet Sriracha Teriyaki wing sauce isn’t just for wings, either. It makes a fantastic dipping sauce for chicken fingers or nuggets. It’s also divine slathered on grilled chicken pieces. It’s good stuff, I tell ya!

Taste Domination Hatch Pepper Wings

The entire line of Taste Domination wing sauces is amazing. They’re spot-on when it comes to flavor. And they’re perfectly thick but not too thick. They’re nicely spicy but not overly so. Taste Domination Hatch Pepper wings sauce is flat-out fantastic. This sauce is what good-ole Buffalo Wing sauce wishes it would grow up to be. It’s got a great southwestern vibe to it, and just enough heat to wake you up. It’s not over-the-top spicy but it does have a bit of a kick.

Taste Domination Hatch Pepper Wings

Taste Domination Hatch Pepper wings sauce isn’t just for wings. It’s fantastic for dipping shrimp. I like to drizzle it over fried chicken pieces. I’ve even mixed it with Ranch dressing and used it as a wing dipping sauce. It’s got the kick and flavors that I love. It’s definitely a favorite of mine.

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.

Copycat Winger’s Wings

There are few things that make me happier than a big ole basket of wings. I consider wings to be the perfect lunch. The other day I cooked up a batch of wings and tossed them with a bit of homemade copycat Winger’s wings sauce. Perhaps one of the easiest wing sauces in existence, it packs a little heat and a little sweat. Fabulously addicting!

Copycat Winger's Wings

I wouldn’t mess around with the recipe for copycat Winger’s wings sauce. It’s meant to be straightforward. Nothing fru-fru. Just the perfect balance and consistency. No lakes of wing sauce at the bottom of the basket here!

You can adjust the sweetness to taste. I thought it was great as it is written below. Sometimes I like a little more sweetness to my wing sauce. Sometimes I want a little more heat.

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!

Joey Chestnut Nashville Hot Chicken Wings

When I first came across Joey Chestnut’s Nashville Hot Chicken Wing Sauce it was on a display at Jungle Jim’s outside of Cincinnati. The flavors all sounded intriguing and different, so I grabbed a few bottles and rushed on home to make some wings. Every sauce has been fantastic, different, and just flat-out tasty. I love Nashville hot chicken, so the idea of putting that same great kicked-up spicy flavor on wings was a must-do for me. Man, was it good!

Joey Chestnut Nashville Hot Chicken Wings

Joey Chestnut’s Nashville Hot Chicken wing sauce is great all around, and not just in taste. It has the perfect consistency, the right stick-to-the-wingsness. This sauce would be great on more than wings too, Heck, drizzle it all over fried chicken and get instant Nashville hot chicken with a twist!

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.

Quaker Steak and Lube Thai ‘R’ Cracker Wings

When I can’t get to the nearest Quaker Steak & Lube (about 2 hours from here in Indy), I do the next-best-thing and make my version of their wings here. This time I used the insanely good Quaker Steak and Lube Thai ‘R’ Cracker wings sauce. It’s got a bit of kick, but not so much that you’re gonna cry. And it’s got a bit of sweet to it too. It’s perfect with a bit of cool Ranch sauce on the side. Or serve the wings with more Thai ‘R’ Cracker sauce for a more kicked-up dipping sauce.

Quaker Steak and Lube Thai 'R' Cracker Wings

Thai ‘R’ Cracker sauce is by far my wife’s favorite from Quaker Steak and Lube. We always keep a number of bottles of Quaker Steak and Lube Thai ‘R’ Cracker wings sauce on hand for making delicious wings!

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.

Quaker Steak and Lube Medium Buffalo Wings

I love chicken wings. Homemade or bottled sauce, just as great either way to me. And I love to be surprised by just how great some store-bought sauces are. Like this Quaker Steak and Lube medium Buffalo wing sauce. This is what a bottled sauce is supposed to be.

The perfect balance

The perfect consistency. You want that. The perfect amount of heat. You need that. And that great classic Buffalo flavor. You deserve that. This is it, all in one sauce. It is nice and creamy to boot.

Quaker Steak and Lube Medium Buffalo Wings

My wife and I always stop at the Quaker Steak and Lube outside of Cincinnati when we are in the area. They have a full menu and great service. I of course only get the wings. Because, like this medium Buffalo wing sauce, all of their sauces are fantastic. There’s not even a sort-of-ok sauce on the menu. They’are all 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.

Ramen-Seasoned Wings

I’ve come across recipes for Ramen-crusted chicken wings on the internet, but never really got into the idea. But I did get into the idea of dusting some mighty fine cooked wings with Ramen seasoning (you know, the little spice packets from the noodle packages) and serving them with an out-of-this-world peanut dipping sauce. And I didn’t leave off the noodles, nope! A quick fry in a pan with a little oil, and boom! Crunchy wing topping! These Ramen-seasoned wings with peanut dipping sauce disappeared in no time!

Ramen-Seasoned Wings

If you really love Ramen seasoning don’t be afraid to double the amount of seasoning used. I always have Ramen seasoning on hand because I like to crunch up the noodles and fry them for topping salads. More is better on these Ramen-seasoned wings with peanut dipping 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!

Noble Made Hot Buffalo Wings

I was perusing the wing sauce section at our local Whole Foods when I came across a few bottles of Noble Made sauce, including their hot Buffalo wing sauce. Never one to pass up a new (to me) sauce, I grabbed a few and headed on home to make a big ole batch of wings. This sauce is good and spicy (hey, it does say ‘hot’ on the label!), has that great Buffalo wing flavor, and has the perfect consistency. And consistency is important. Too many sauces are thin and watery. You end up with 10 times as much sauce on your plate as you do on your wings. That’s not why you made wings. You want them covered in sauce, not swimming in sauce soup.

Noble Made Hot Buffalo Wings

Next time I’m at Whole Foods I won’t hesitate to grab a few more bottles of Noble Made hot Buffalo wing sauce, along with their other flavors. You can’t go wrong with it. It’s perfect for those occasions when I want a good spicy Buffalo wing sauce. It’s not for the ‘no spicy stuff for me’ crowd.

Copycat Applebee’s Buffalo Wings

I’m sitting here trying to describe how I felt when I devoured this copycat of the Buffalo wings from Applebee’s. It was more than love. It was an unstoppable obsession. An addiction. As soon as I was done eating I started to plan making them again. And again. So what makes them so different? It’s the addition of flour to what is a pretty typical Buffalo wing sauce. You wouldn’t think that it would make that big of a difference, but it helps the sauce stick to the wings. You don’t usually get that with Buffalo wings. They may be sauced, but a lot of that sauce ends up on your plate or shirt and not in your mouth.

Copycat Applebee's Buffalo Wings

There’s no such thing as making too many Applebee’s Buffalo wings or making them too often. No matter how you cook them, everyone will love them. I’ll end my thoughts there because I’m off to make another batch…

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!
