  • Lightly salt the wings on all sides.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!).
  • Cook wings for 12 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and cook another 12 minutes.

  • Remove wings from the bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

Note: If your wing sauce is refrigerated, set it out on the countertop before starting the wings so that it warms up a bit. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings.
Note: The full 30 minute cook time is for large, meaty wings. If your wings are a bit thinner (er… scrawny) back the times down to 10/10/4 minutes instead of 12/12/6 minutes.

Thai Place Wings

This right here is why I love (absolutely love!) buying wing sauces from small, non-chain (or at least, regional chain) restaurants and bars. That’s where I often find the best flavors. These Thai Place wings are a huge winner. I mean huge. All from a Thai restaurant in Pittsburgh, that has, sadly, closed, but you can still find their wing sauce in stores! I found it in Jungle Jim’s outside of Cincinnati. And boy am I ever glad that I did! This sauce is has hints of soy sauce. It’s sweet for sure. And there’s a little heat kind just hovering around in the background. Not upfront so it’ll bite you, but it’s there.

Thai Place Wings

Make Some Wings!

There’s no need to over-complicate this situation. Make some wings. Doesn’t really matter how. I went with air-fried wings. You can go with baked. Grilled. Whatever. Even store-bought frozen ones (plain, of course). Just get ’em done and get them in this sauce. You’re gonna enjoy these Thai Place wings no matter how the wings are made. The sauce is definitely the star of this show.

Make sure you get extra bottles of the sauce. It’s great on smoked (or grilled) ribs too!

Also try some Croix Valley Garlic Ginger Teriyaki wings!

The Dirty Buffalo Buffalo Soldier Wings

It’s comforting to know that there’s someone out there looking out for the rest of us. They toil and toil, night and day, making sure we all get the greatest wing sauces ever. At least one of them is at The Dirty Buffalo, a southern Virginia regional sports pub that clearly is devoted to great food and in particular, wings. Their Buffalo Soldier wing sauce is just one example of the results of a devotion to great-tasting sauces. I couldn’t get enough of my homemade wings tossed in this sauce.

The Dirty Buffalo Buffalo Soldier Wings

Jerk. And Right Kind of Jerk.

The Dirty Buffalo Buffalo Soldier wing sauce hits you with a decent island-inspired jerk flavor. And a good dose of heat, too. Neither is overwhelming. I love jerk flavors, I often make jerk chicken on my charcoal grill. But it can be too much for me. It’s the allspice that can do me. But not in this sauce. It has just the perfect amount. Enough (along with other ingredients) to give me that jerk flavor without being too much jerk.

I kept my wings simple. I was after the sauce. Just my simple air fryer wings. You can use any plain wings you want. Just don’t use anything that is heavily spiced or flavored. You don’t want the wings to fight with the sauce.

I love this sauce. It’s finger-licking good. Just like every single other sauce I’ve had from The Dirty Buffalo. Jump over to their site and order some of them. Or rather, all of them.

Also try some delicious garlic parmesan wings made using a wonderful sauce from the Dirty Buffalo.

Sweet Baby Ray’s Mango Habanero Wing s

Oh my goodness. Oh me. I’m so badly addicted to Sweet Baby Ray’s Mango Habanero wing sauce that I cannot stop making wings tossed in the sauce, day after day. This sauce is everything I want in a sauce. It’s a little sweet. It has a hint of mango. Not overpowering, either. And just the right amount of heat. I wouldn’t call it hot, but it’s close to it. But the sweetness tames a lot of that heat. This sauce is beyond finger-licking good. I’d drink it out of the bottle. Without hesitation.

Sweet Baby Ray's Mango Habanero Wings

Sweet-n-Fruity. And Mighty Good.

I hope that the ‘Limited Edition’ words on the bottle of Sweet Baby Ray’s Mango Habanero wing sauce are just that. Words. This sauce is way, way too good to ever go away. I’ll have some on hand. And not just for wings, either. Slather it on grilled chicken. Brush it on rack after rack of smoked ribs. Drizzle it over salmon filets.

SouthHouse Sweet and Spicy Wings

I was scrolling through my Facebook feed, which consists of literally thousands of pictures of grills and food (don’t judge!) when I came across an ad for wing sauces for a sports bar and restaurant in south Philadelphia called SouthHouse. I’ve been to Philadelphia, but I’d never been to SouthHouse. The picture of their house-made wing sauces definitely caught my eye. They looked fresh, hand-crafted and yummy. So I ordered some.

There’s Nothing But Good In This Sauce

The first sauce I tried was the Sweet and Spicy. Let me tell you, this is one crazy-good wing sauce. It reminds me a bit of Meijer’s Sweet Chili wing sauce, but with more heat. And it reminds me a bit of Quaker Steak and Lube’s Thai ‘R Cracker wing sauce, but with fresh ingredients. It’s thick, but not too thick. And I loved it. It is delicious. And its finger-licking good. It is moan-while-you-eat good.

SouthHouse Sweet and Spicy Wings

A Great Sauce To Keep On Hand At All Times

I can definitely see SouthHouse Sweet and Spicy wing sauce finding its way onto just about anything I pull off the grill. It’ll be amazing on ribs. Fantastic on grilled or roasted chicken. And delicious as a dipping sauce for chicken tenders or nuggets. This sauce is definitely a favorite of mine.

Also try some SouthHouse Buffalo wings.

Taste Domination Pepper and Garlic Wings

Taste Domination’s Pepper and Garlic wing sauce is great on wings (duh), believe me. It has a nice amount of spiciness to it. Not too much that you’re in pain and not so little that you’re disappointed. And it definitely brings the garlic punch, too. It’s packed with great flavors, making for a delicious batch of wings!

Taste Domination Pepper and Garlic Wings

Garlicky Without Being Too Garlicky

I would not think of Taste Domination’s Pepper and Garlic wing sauce as ‘just’ a great wing sauce. You can use it anywhere you use hot sauce. Like in chili. Or drizzled on a grilled chicken. Or use it as a dip for shrimp or chicken nuggets. It’s a great versatile sauce that shines on wings, but is just as fantastic everywhere else.

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.

Also try Taste Domination’s hatch pepper wings.

SouthHouse Spicy Ranch Wings

This is why you should not scroll through your Facebook feed too fast if it’s like mine and is full of food-related posts and ads. I don’t usually pay attention to ads but a recent one from SouthHouse, a sports bar and restaurant in Philadelphia caught my eye. I saw bottles of wing sauces and they all looked fantastic. They’re made in-house and sounded great, so I ordered a bottle of each flavor, including Spicy Ranch, to try out.

SouthHouse Spicy Ranch Wings

What’s The First Word In The Name?

The Spicy Ranch wing sauce is… spicy! That’s why the word ‘spicy’ comes first, I bet! It’s not super-Ranchy, and not buttermilk Ranchy like say, your favorite dressing. But as you can see below, it makes for some awesome-looking wings.

For me the heat in the SouthHouse Spicy Ranch wing sauce is just right. It hit me right up front, but then mellowed out as I went. So it’s not like I was curled up on the floor in a ball. I liked it. And I can use it as a dip for veggies too!

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.

SouthHouse Honey Mustard Wings

Never have I been so happy as when I opened a bottle of honey mustard wing sauce from  SouthHouse, a bar and restaurant in south Philadelphia, and sauced up a batch of wings hot off my grill. This sauce made my day. My week. My month. I loved it. It has just the right sweetness. And just the right mustardness. I was worried about that. Sometimes, mustard sauces can be a bit too mustardy for me. Not this one, this was spot-on perfect.

SouthHouse Honey Mustard Wings

Mustardy Without Being Too Mustardy

You can’t go wrong with the honey mustard wing sauce from SouthHouse. It really impressed me and I’d have it again and again. And make sure you get extra, because it’s great as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets, too. And it’s great brushed onto fried chicken. Trust me. This is great stuff!

SouthHouse Buffalo Wings

SouthHouse is a restaurant/pub in the south part of Philadelphia. I’ve never been there, but that didn’t stop me from ordering a few bottles of their wing sauces. I had to. They looked fantastic, like they’re made with real ingredients, with care. And they are. The Buffalo wing sauce looks amazing just sitting in the bottle. Little yummy things floating around, destined for greatness on a big ole batch of homemade wings.

SouthHouse Buffalo Wings

A Fantastic Traditional Sauce

SouthHouse’s Buffalo wing sauce isn’t too spicy, I’d say it’s just right. A nice little kick, but nothing crazy spicy. It isn’t too thin or thick, it’s what I’d call a ‘normal’ consistency, perfect for wings. And critical for me, it’s not too vinegary. I thought it was a great all-around Buffalo wing sauce, worthy of the name and a great nod to the classic.

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.

Simple Truth Organic Medium Buffalo Wings

I’m sorry. I tried. I really tried. But I just could not make these Simple Truth Organic Medium Buffalo wings work for me. I’m a nice guy. I gave them a chance. I made them two days in a room, two different ways, to make sure that it wasn’t me. Maybe I had a cold, I thought. Maybe the humidity was affecting my taste buds. But no, they still lacked something. The sauce starts out making me think that it’s a thin French salad dressing, with only a bit of flavor. Then there is heat next, and it’s good. I like the heat level I have to say. And there’s a little more flavor at that point. I just can’t get past that early… meh.

Simple Truth Organic Medium Buffalo Wings

Don’t Stop Believing

Now, don’t let these Simple Truth Organic Medium Buffalo wings stop you from trying other flavors in this line of ‘clean’ sauces from Kroger. I’ve had great success and a lot of great batches of wings tossed in the other flavors. I just wanted happy with this one. But you know, we’re all different, and maybe (just maybe) you’ll like it! Let me know if you do! Or don’t.
