Dragon Fire Wings

Sweet heat. And then some. I should’ve known I’d love these Dragon Fire wings so much that I would want more. Such a simple sauce but it’s oh so addicting. Don’t let the sweetness of that first bite fool you. There’s heat coming and it’s coming fast. No question about it, these are easily one of my favorite wings of all time.

You bet, the sauce on these wings is just about the easiest thing you have ever made. Literally two ingredients. That’s it. But when they come together, they make wing sauce magic.

Use Different Preserves For Different Tastes

I used apricot preserves to make the Dragon Fire wings sauce. Peach would also work just fine. You can also substitute for the Sriracha sauce. Any good hot sauce or even Buffalo wing sauce would work just as well. No matter what you substitute, if anything, you won’t find an easier wing sauce anywhere. Well, ok, you could just open a bottle of sauce and pour it on your wings I guess. That would be easier. But no way would it be any better.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for sipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings, and saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

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 Mango Habanero Wings (Copycat Recipe)

Don’t fear the habanero. Don’t worry about the heat. Well, ok, maybe a little. But it’s really tamed by the fantastic mango sauce. This might well be the perfect combination of sweet and heat. This is what Buffalo wing sauce wants to be when it grows up. This copycat recipe Buffalo Wild Wings mango habanero sauce is nothing but awesome. These are amazingly good wings. The kind you’ll want to make time and time again. And they’re easy to make, too!

Tropical Heat

I used a can of nectar when I made this copycat recipe of the Buffalo Wild Wings mango habanero sauce. It can be found in the Hispanic foods section of your grocery store, or of course, you can visit your local Hispanic grocery store instead! If you can’t find it, you might find it in the juice section. In a pinch, you can substitute mango that has been diced and pureed until very smooth. In that case you’ll probably need to strain the sauce before using. You want it to be on the thinner side but don’t add water to make it thinner. You don’t want to water down the flavor.

Hmmmm. Nectar….

There are other flavors of nectar to be discovered. Peach. Strawberry. All are excellent candidates for your next flavor of wing sauce. So while you’re at the store getting the stuff for these wings, grab some other nectar flavors too. The sauce is so good I’d get at least two of each!
