Korean BBQ Wings

I know I’ve got a great wing sauce when I consider getting a spoon and just eating it right out of the pan. These Korean BBQ wings were fantastic, thanks to a delicious sauce that packs just the right amount of heat. And it’s the perfect, spot-on consistency to boot. There were darned good wings.

Korean BBQ Wings

Asian-Inspired Wing Greatness

I made the sauce exactly as you see below. You’ll notice that it does call for a good amount of sesame oil. If you find sesame oil a bit strong you might want to start with half the amount listed and taste to see if you want more. I went full-bore and loved it.

The sauce for these Korean BBQ wings isn’t just great on wings, either. I strongly recommend you at least double the recipe. You’ll want some sauce on hand to brush (or dip) grilled chicken. It’s also fantastic on smoked or grilled ribs.

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!

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!

Secret Aardvark Habanero Wings

As soon as I saw a squeeze bottle of Secret Aardvark habanero sauce in the grocery store I knew it would make for the best wing sauce. Oh, yes, it’s great on and in a lot of recipes, for sure. But on wings, it’s crazy good. And darned spicy for that matter. It isn’t messing around when it comes to the heat. It also has a fantastic consistency to it. It’s not too thin or thick. It sticks to your wings. And your fingers. You taste tomato, onion, carrots… and definitely habanero. Make a wing sauce with it and you’ll be just as pleased as I was!

Secret Aardvark Habanero Wings

Grown Up Flavor For Grown Up Tastes

Secret Aardvark habanero wings are what Buffalo wings want to be like when they grow up. Oh, ain’t nothing wrong with Buffalo wings, not at all. But for something a bit different, and definitely a bit spicier, try this sauce on wings and you’ll love it.

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Messy. Very messy. And very good. Normally, I don’t drown my wings in sauce, but this time I had no choice. There was no turning back. These jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings are so darn crazy good that I was going all-in like never before. I’m not sure why I was surprised. The sauce contains all of my favorite things. But yeah, they’re messy. And quite spicy, too. I could not stop eating them despite the mess and heat. And when I took that last bite I was sad. I really wanted more!

Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings

Worth The Mess

The sauce on these jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings is also great on hot dogs and hamburgers. That’s a good thing since the recipe below makes more than you’ll need for a family pack of wings. I’ve found that the sauce is actually better the next day, so plan ahead and let it ‘get happy’ overnight in the fridge before using it.

You can make the sauce nice and smooth (like I did, for wings) or keep it a bit chunky for something like hot dogs or burgers. Just don’t process it as much in your blender or food processor. And remember, you can always process it more, but you can’t process it less so keep an eye on it!

Feeling Kinda Wimpy?

Hey nothing wrong with not wanting a lot of heat. There’s plenty of it in this sauce. But if you’re feeling like maybe you want a little less burn, you can substitute roasted green chiles for the jalapenos. That’s a start.

There’s not a lot you can do to cut back on the heat from the hot sauce. Why? Because it’s hot sauce. My only recommendation is to have a nice big bowl of ranch or blue cheese salad dressing nearby. I use these little condiment cups for that. They’re perfect for wing dunking!

Harissa Wings

After making roasted harissa cauliflower the other day (my first encounter with harissa) I knew after the first bite that the next thing I was going to make with the spicy red pepper paste would be Harissa wings. There was no doubt in my mind that I was in for a wonderful treat. You get a nice kick, but don’t be afraid. Harissa is not crazy spicy, not at all. It has a wonderful earthy flavor to it. I could eat it all day. On wings I could eat it all week.

Harissa Wings

Great Mediterranean-Inspired Flavors

The Harissa sauce for making harissa wings can be found in the Mediterranean section of your local grocery store. I haven’t tried making it home yet, but I will. The consistency reminds me a bit of hummus, though it’s certainly not hummus. But, oh…. it just hit me… harissa sure would be great in hummus! I’m off to try that now!

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!

Honey Old Bay Wings

My addiction to Old Bay seasoning began long ago, in crab and shrimp boils. And as often as possible, I still feed my addiction. Now, though, I also get my fix with chicken wings. These honey Old Bay wings not only have that great seafood seasoning flavor, they have a bit of sweetness too. And a bit of heat. Not a lot, but just a hint. Nothing to overpower the main reason I made these wings: Old Bay flavor. I’m a big time Old Bay addict and I’m ok admitting it.

I think these are amazingly-good wings. No, they aren’t complicated. Not even close. They use ingredients you very likely have on-hand. And it requires almost no time at all to make. That’s just an all-around win in my book!

Honey Old Bay Wings

The Perfect Wings?

My favorite variation on these honey Old Bay wings is to leave out the cayenne pepper and substitute Mike’s Hot Honey for ‘regular’ honey instead. Mike’s Hot Honey is just that: hot danged honey! It’s creamy smooth and packs a serious kick. It’s not for the faint of heart, so if you’re a bit worried about the heat, try adding just a bit of it to your ‘regular’ honey and give it a taste.

Chipotle pepper powder is also a great substitute for the cayenne. It still adds a little heat. But it also adds a little smokiness. Heck, it is ground smoked dried jalapenos, after all!

No Heat Zone

Yep, you bet, you can leave out the cayenne pepper. There’s really not that much of it in the sauce but ‘not a lot’ can be subjective. If you want, just don’t even add it. Or add less.

Crispy Convection Oven Wings

Most of the time I make wings either on a charcoal grill using the Vortex insert, on my Char-Broil Big Easy, in an air fryer, or I deep fry them. But sometimes none of those options are available. Or I like to just cook my wings differently. That’s when I ‘fire up’ my convection oven. And you know, the wings are actually pretty darned good! Nothing will ever match deep frying wings in oil, but this is close enough when a deep fryer isn’t available. And since there’s not all that oil (and mess), these are a bit healthier and cleanup is quicker! These crispy convection oven wings satisfy my wing craving just fine, thank you!

Crispy Convection Oven Wings

No Sad Wings!

When your crispy convection oven wings are done, don’t make them sad by adding cold wing sauce right out of the fridge! That cold sauce will kill some of that crispiness that you had, and it’ll make your wings mighty darned cold! So if you’re using leftover, refrigerated sauce, warm it up while the wings are cooking. Then sauce those little beauties right out of the oven!

In A Hurry?

You can skip the overnight ‘marinade’ if you don’t have the time. Just some oil and the seasoning on the wings, and into the oven they go. They’ll still be fantastically good.

Crispier?

If you want to put the wings under the broiler for a few minutes after they are cooked to crisp them up even more and give them more color you can. BUT! You cannot keep them on parchment paper or a silpat if you do this!!! You must remove the wings and place them directly on a baking sheet. NO PARCHMENT PAPER! NOTHING! And keep an eye on them. They’ll burn quickly.

Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Wings

I’ve been using Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce for years. It’s a great sauce as-is, but it also makes for a good starter for making my own BBQ sauce. But until now I’d never tried their Buffalo wing sauce. For some reason, I needed a coupon to get me off my butt and to the grocery store to pick up a bottle. Well, boy am I sorry for having waited so long to try it. Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo wings are nothing but delicious. It is exactly what I was looking for when I made a quick batch of air fryer wings for lunch the other day. The right consistency, the right amount of spice, it’s spot-on good.

Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wings

It’s Got A Good Kick.

I’ve read a few reviews of Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo wing sauce that say it’s too spicy. Well, yeah, each of us has a different definition of what’s spicy, but I definitely found this to be just right. It has a bit of kick. Hey, it’s a Buffalo wing sauce. It contains cayenne pepper. It’s gonna have some heat. But for me, it’s definitely not over the top.

Don’t wait around for a coupon to pick up a bottle of this sauce. Learn from my mistakes!

All About That Base

I mentioned that I use SBR’s BBQ sauce as a ‘base’ for my BBQ sauces. I’ve been doing that for years. Start with the bottled stuff and embellish to suit my fancy at the moment. Ditto their Buffalo sauce. I can use it straight out of the bottle and be one happy guy. Big time. But if I’m feeling a little adventurous, I might change it up a bit. Add a little honey or brown sugar or even molasses for some sweetness. Hot sauce for some heat. Soy sauce or fish sauce for something Asian.

Play with it. This sauce is a great way to start and a great way to finish any wings.

Air Fryer Wings

Well, I admit it. I had no idea how good wings made in an air fryer could be. I figured, meh, air fryer wings… But, like my convection oven wings, they came out moist, tender, and with great crunchy skin! These wings make for the perfect quick lunch, which is why they’ve quickly become a standard dish around our house. I didn’t need any help with my wing addiction, these just made it worse!

Air Fryer Wings

Skip the sugary seasonings

I recommend that you use a rub or seasoning that doesn’t contain sugar when you make air fryer wings. Now, you can certainly add a sweet rub after the wings are cooked, but that seasoning will tend to burn (or at least char) if you have it on the wings while they cook. Just good old salt is fine. The salt won’t overpower the wings and will let you add any sauce or seasoning later without having to worry about the tastes conflicting with each other.

Air Fryer wings rock!

I actually had no plans to get an air fryer. Our neighbor gave me her spare after receiving a new one for Christmas. It took one batch of wings to convince me that I was missing out. I eventually wore it out so I bought the exact same model to replace it. It easily makes enough wings for two people.

Also try my duck fat air fryer wings! If you prefer your wings baked, my garlic Parmesan wings made in the oven are also fantastic.

  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it’s hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
  • Cook at 360 F for 12 minutes.
  • Carefully flip the wings (rotate the drumettes if they are standing) and cook another 12 minutes again at 360 F.
  • Flip the wings one last time. Cook another 6 minutes at 400 F.
  • Remove and toss with your favorite wing sauce. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

The cook times are for good, meaty wings. If your wings are a bit ‘scrawny’ you may want to try to short cook times.

Gold Fever Wings

Mustard. Chicken wings. I had no idea. Sure, I like mustard. On sandwiches, or hot dogs. Or burgers. But, wings? My beloved chicken wings? Yes. Oh yes. Gold Fever chicken wings have quickly rocketed to the top of the ‘chicken wings that we want regularly’ list around here. My wife absolutely loves them. Oh, and don’t worry about them being overly mustardy, either. There’s plenty of traditional Buffalo wing flavor too.

I just made a big batch of Gold Fever wings a few days ago. I’m making another tomorrow. That’s how good they are. Finger-licking good. Honey mustard. Traditional Buffalo-wing sauce flavors. Chicken wings. Fantastic. You can’t beat that combination.

This sauce is also great on smoked or grilled pork ribs.
