Simple Truth Organic Mild Buffalo Wings

I wanted to like all of the wing sauces from Simple Truth, Kroger’s line of organic products. But I could not bring myself to do it. I missed flavor. I wanted more. And, I wanted thicker. Sorry, but these Simple Truth Organic Mild Buffalo wings just didn’t quite get it for me. They were close, and they weren’t bad, they just didn’t wow me.

Simple Truth Organic Mild Buffalo Wings

Well… They Aren’t Perfect…

I suppose I should cut these Simple Truth Organic Mild Buffalo wings a bit of slack. The sauce does have nothing but good ingredients in it, and you can’t fault that. But oh, do I wish it was thicker and had more flavor. Then I would’ve been happy. Right now, well, I’m kind of sad.

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 wing 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

Asian-Inspired Greatness

Thai ‘R’ Cracker wing 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 wing 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.

Also try Quaker Steak ‘N Lube’s Buckeye BBQ wings. They did start in Ohio, you know!

Quaker Steak and Lube Louisiana Lickers Wings

If you’re gonna name a wing sauce ‘Louisiana Lickers’, I’m going to buy it. And so I did the last time we were in Cincinnati while shopping at Jungle Jim’s. I picked up a few bottles of Quaker Steak and Lube’s wing sauces, including one of Louisiana Lickers. No matter how you cook them, you’ll love wings tossed in Quaker Steak and Lube Louisiana Lickers wing sauce!

Quaker Steak and Lube Louisiana Lickers Wings

One Addictingly Good Sauce

I really like the Louisiana Lickers wing sauce. It is spicy, but definitely not overly spicy. It’s different, almost Jamaican jerkish (somewhat citrusy) in flavor to me. The Cajun flavor lingers, with just a bit of burn. It’s addicting, like all of the Quaker Steak & Lube sauces (see them all here).

A Great Sauce At The Right Price

I was worried that for $5-$6, the sauce was over-priced, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that that isn’t the case. For the number of wings I made I used only a little sauce, without sacrificing flavor. And the sauce sticks to the wings. Not gloppy, molasses sticky, but just sticky enough to not run off and form a puddle. I liked that. A lot.

Also try the great medium Buffalo wings from Quaker Steak ‘N Lube!

Quaker Steak and Lube Arizona Ranch Wings

I’ve had a big hankerin’ for some chicken wings ever since we drove over to Cincinnati and went shopping at Jungle Jim’s. I picked up a few bottles of Quaker Steak and Lube wing sauces, including this Arizona Ranch wing sauce. We’ve actually eaten at a Quaker Steak & Lube near Cincinnati, and really enjoyed it. We can’t wait for them to open one here in Indianapolis!

Quaker Steak and Lube Arizona Ranch Wings

Don’t Worry About The Heat Too Much

I really like the Quaker Steak and Lube Arizona Ranch sauce. It is like ranch dressing, for grownups. It has some kick, but not enough to scare grandma off. Personally, I’d for more kick, but I wasn’t the only one eating wings! You can see how the Arizona Ranch wing sauce stacks up heat-wise to the other yummy Quaker Steak & Lube sauces here.

I really like the Quaker Steak and Lube Golden Garlic wing sauce. It is definitely garlicky. You won’t bite into a wing and think to yourself “I thought this was supposed to have garlic in it.” It brings the garlic. Look at the picture above. You can see how the Golden Garlic stacks up heat-wise to the other yummy Quaker Steak & Lube sauces here.

Quaker Steak ‘N Lube Buckeye BBQ Wings

Quaker Steak ‘N Lube has some crazy good wing sauces. From the mild to the insane, from traditional Buffalo to Asian sesame, they have you covered no matter your heat or taste preferences. Quaker Steak ‘N Lube Buckeye BBQ wing sauce is a bit on the spicy side. But it’s also a bit sweet. Nice and smooth, it’s the perfect sauce not only for wings, but also for anything you slather with BBQ sauce. Like grilled chicken, burgers, or ribs. Or drizzle it on some pulled pork or sliced brisket. It’s a great all-around BBQ sauce, despite having ‘wing’ in its name.

Quaker Steak 'N Lube Buckeye BBQ Wings

What’s In A Name?

So why the name? Does Quaker Steak ‘N Lube Buckeye BBQ wing sauce contain buckeyes, the chestnut-looking nut often associated with Ohio? Well, I don’t think so, but it was named the preferred sauce of Ohio State. And Quaker Steak ‘N Lube was founded in Ohio. So, I’m guessing that explains the name! No matter what, it’s a great sauce.

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.

The Arizona Ranch wings from Quaker Steak ‘N Lube are great too! Try them!

Plucker’s Spicy Mandarin Wings

Now this is different. Take a bite of Plucker’s Spicy Mandarin wing sauce and you’ll instantly taste orange and soy sauce. Not overwhelming flavors, but you won’t go hunting for them, that’s for sure. This is a nice change from the sweet chili or teriyaki sauce Asian-inspired wing sauces you usually find. Not that there’s anything wrong with those.

Plucker's Spicy Mandarin Wings

Decidedly Different. And Delicious.

I picked up eighteen different bottles of wing sauce from Plucker’s. It’s a wing restaurant based out of Austin, Texas. Every single sauce, like Plucker’s spicy mandarin wing sauce, has been fantastic. So many different exciting flavors in bottle after bottle. And it’s all quality stuff, too! I’d better get to making more 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.

Also try Plucker’s Teriykai wings! They’re great too!

Plucker’s Medium Buffalo Wings

If you’re not a fan of Buffalo wing sauce, then I recommend you give it a second chance and try Plucker’s medium Buffalo wing sauce. If you are a fan, then this sauce is a must-taste-and-soon. This is what great Buffalo wings are about. It has the perfect balance between vinegar and spice. It’s not spicy (to me), but it does have a slight kick (according to my heat-fearing wife). The flavor is perfect. I could eat wings covered in this sauce all day long.

Plucker's Medium Buffalo Wings

And Outstanding Buffalo Sauce

I try to avoid saying something is the ‘best I’ve ever had’, because sure enough, something seems to come along that might be a little better. I’m crazy close to saying that Plucker’s medium Buffalo wings sauce is the best medium Buffalo wing sauce I’ve ever had. I think Plucker’s hit it out of the park on this one, as they do on many of their sauces. This is a star.

Try some Plucker’s Sesame wings too!

Plucker’s Jamango Jerk Wings

What an enjoyable experience it is, sitting down to a big ole batch of wings covered in Plucker’s Jamango Jerk wing sauce. Kind of like a Caribbean BBQ sauce. You get mild mango flavor, a little heat, and just the right amount of jerk seasoning flavor. That’s important for me because jerk seasoning, when applied heavily, can be a bit much because of the allspice. This sauce has just the perfect amount.

Plucker's Jamango Jerk Wings

A Great Balance Of Island Flavors

Plucker’s Jamango Jerk wing sauce is another one of my top favorite sauces. But it’s not just for wings, that’s for sure. It’s fantastic slathered on grilled chicken. And absolutely great on smoked ribs. Anywhere you normally might use a store-bought BBQ sauce, use this wing sauce instead.

Remember that if you 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.

Plucker’s Fire in the Hole Wings

You know Plucker’s Fire in the Hole wing sauce is guaranteed to be spicy. Plucker’s backed up the name with great flavors too. Yeah, it’s got great heat. A lot of it, too. I do mean a lot. A whole heck of a lot of heat. But it’s also one super-flavorful sauce. There’s nothing worse than a spicy sauce that’s nothing but kick and no flavor.

Plucker's Fire in the Hole Wings

Lots and Lots of Great Heat

If you like hot wings, I highly recommend Plucker’s Fire in the Hole wing sauce. And, according to their website, if you eat 25 wings covered in the sauce while at their restaurant you’ll get your picture on their wall of fame. I just had 6 wings and it was good but made me sweat. Not sure I could eat 25!
