Dr Pepper & Cream Soda Wings

The first time I tasted Dr Pepper & Cream Soda I knew I was going to make a wing sauce with it. I mean that stuff is just flat-out fantastic, especially for a big Dr Pepper fan (me!). So I made the sauce. Happily. And boy, is this ever crazy good.

Classic Dr Pepper flavor, a little creamy sweetness, and just a slight kick of Buffalo sauce, this sauce is fantastic. Each flavor is different. Nothing is lost. You’ll get everything in every single bite. Could this be the perfect wing sauce?

Dr Pepper & Cream Soda Wings

Uniquely Yummy

I would not change a thing about these Dr Pepper & Cream Soda wings. The flavor is unique and delicious. I like my sauce a bit thick, but not gloppy thick, so I added a little cornstarch at the end to help thicken it up. You can leave it out if you want. After the sauce reduces take a spoon and dip it in the sauce to see if you want it thicker or not.

Sauce On The Side

There’s nothing wrong with serving a bit extra of the sauce on the side for dipping the wings, along with Ranch and blue cheese dressing.

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!

Meijer Honey Barbecue Wings

Wow. I’ve got to stop being so surprised as to how great the wing sauces are from Meijer. I mean no disrespect to the fine people at Meijer, but I wasn’t expecting such great flavor and texture from a well, cheaper, sauce. I’ve loved every one I’ve tried and I’ll be getting more and more, again and again. The Meijer honey barbecue wing sauce is spot on. Low in heat, but high in flavor. A little sweet with a little smoky. I’m willing to bet this sauce would be equally as great on ribs or pulled pork. It’s darned good!

Meijer Honey Barbecue Wings

Lightly Smoky And Sweet

Meijer has a full line of wing sauces. Check them out! They’re all natural and don’t contain anything ‘weird’ in them. And another plus is that they come in glass bottles. None of that strange plastic flavor going on here. Just good stuff just like this Meijer Honey Barbecue wing sauce.

Angry Wings

I was big time happy with these angry chicken wings. ‘Angry’ because they pack a little kick, but not so much that your mouth is on fire. A very nice kick. This was my first time cooking with gochujang chile paste, and I really loved it. It’s sort of savory, sort of sweet, and sort of spicy. It contains fermented soybeans but the flavor isn’t overwhelming. A little gochujang does go a long ways, but it sure makes for one fantastic wing sauce.

Spread The Angry Around

The angry chicken wing sauce would also be good on grilled pork chops or grilled ground chicken or turkey burgers. Just dab a little on top before you dig in. If you make the sauce ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, it might thicken up a bit. Just add a few drops of water and stir to get the desired consistency.

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.

Anchor Bar Medium Buffalo Wings

Eating wings at the Anchor Bar is on my bucket list, and not near the bottom of the list either. Until I can get there to devour the original, I’ll have to ‘settle’ for my homemade wings tossed with the Anchor Bar Medium Buffalo wing sauce. I don’t consider it settling at all, because these wings were fantastic. Just the right amount of heat and absolutely great seasoning. I could’ve definitely had more of these Anchor Bar medium Buffalo wings. A lot more.

Anchor Bar Medium Buffalo Wings

A Pantry Staple

I ordered Anchor Bar Medium Buffalo wing sauce online. I found the prices to be quite reasonable as was shipping. Don’t be shy, back up the truck and get as many sauces as you can fit into your pantry. They won’t last long. These Anchor Bar medium Buffalo wings are outstanding!

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.

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.

Ingredients

  • 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

For the marinade

For the glaze (if tossing the wings with the glaze you may want to thin it somewhat with a little water so the glaze doesn't end up too thick)

Instructions

For the glaze

  • Combine all ingredients except for the cornstarch in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring, for 15-20 minutes.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Combine the cornstarch with water. Slowly whisk into the glaze.
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring thru a whisk.
  • Keep warm over low heat until ready to use. If too thick stir in a little (very little!) water a time to get the desired consistency.

Notes

If you end up with leftover sauce, just place it in a resealable container in the fridge. Warm the sauce over medium heat before using.

Backyard BBQ Wings

These Backyard BBQ wings bring back memories. Memories of years ago, as a kid, enjoying those classic neighborhood grill-outs. The dads gathered around charcoal grills, the moms chatting away in a circle of lawn chairs. Us kids playing, running all over the place and even getting yelled out when we came to close to the grill. Ok, so maybe not all of those memories are fond ones but the memories of the food are.

Backyard BBQ Wings

Every Bite A Memory

There’s nothing I would change about Backyard BBQ wings. They’re easy to make. They come out juicy, tender and delicious. And they remind me of that grilled barbecue chicken from long ago.

You’d find mostly grilled chicken and burgers at these cook-outs. The chicken would be heavily brushed in BBQ sauce. Like these wings. Same great flavors as back then, but on delicious wings instead.

More Maximum Memories, Grill Over Charcoal

Most of my memories of grilled chicken from my childhood are more about the sauce and char than whether the food was cooked over charcoal or gas. To really kick up these wings to proper backyard status, you’ll want to cook them over charcoal fire. Check out my instructions for grilling the perfect wings here.

Stay Cheap, My Friends

One thing to keep in mind as you prepare these wings is don’t over-think them. They aren’t complicated. They don’t require fancy ingredients. Do not go to the store and seek out the expensive stuff. Do not get the ‘top shelf’ Italian salad dressing. Seek out the classic from Kraft. Ditto any ranch (or blue cheese) dressing for dipping. Kraft is what you’re after. And for the BBQ sauce, you got to go with Bull’s Eye.
