Plucker’s Maple Chipotle Wings

Sometimes a wing sauce comes along that makes me re-think my choices for my all-time favorites. Plucker’s Maple Chipotle wing sauce is sooooo good that I instantly knew this one was rocketing to the top of my list. It’s the perfect combination of warm, sweet maple with just the right amount of smoky spiciness. It’s beyond finger-licking good, so much so that it’s flat-out drinkable right out of the bottle! Hurry up and make yourself some Plucker’s Maple Chipotle wings too!

Plucker's Maple Chipotle Wings

Sweet. Smoky. A Just The Right Heat.

I really can’t get over just how much I love Plucker’s Maple Chipotle wing sauce. I’m going to have to order more because I know that this sauce will also be fantastic on any grilled pork dish. Chicken too, but a slab of grilled or smoked ribs slathered in this sauce would be amazing. Plus, I need some more sauce for my Plucker’s Maple Chipotle wings, too!

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.

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 dipping.

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

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!

Capital City Sweet Hot Mambo Wings

Well, that’s just great. Just what I needed. Another wing sauce that is sooooo good I just can’t stop eating it. How many days in a row can I eat wings? Well, I’m not fessin’ up to a number, but I can definitely say that Capital City Sweet Hot Mambo wing sauce is crazy amazingly good and is worthy of finding itself on my wings day after day. It kind of reminds me of one of my all-time favorite BBQ sauces, Grandma Foster’s Smooth and Spicy Bar-B-Que Sauce but with a slight twist.

Capital City Sweet Hot Mambo Wings

The Perfect Sweet Heat

I ordered a squeeze bottle (perfect for squirting onto wings!) each of the sauces from Capital City. Now I can see that I’m going to have to order jugs instead, because this stuff just isn’t going to last around here. Next time I grill ribs, burgers, or chicken, this sauce is gonna be right there, too. It’s not just fantastic on wings, nope, Capital City Sweet Hot Mambo wing sauce is for everything!

Pimento Cheese Ranch Dressing

Ahhhh. Something different. Something new. That’s what I was looking for when I ran across this recipe for pimento cheese ranch dressing. Oh, no, not for a salad. Though it’s a great dressing for a salad for sure. Nope, I made this for dipping my spicy hot Buffalo wings. It cooled me right down, and it was a welcome change from my ‘usual’ ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Pimento Cheese Ranch Dressing

Well Now, That’s Different!

This pimento cheese ranch dressing isn’t thick. It’s a fairly thin sauce, which makes it perfect also as a salad dressing. It is still thick enough to stick to wings, which is why we’re here today. It’ll cool you down from that batch of mouth-on-fire wings, for sure!

Is It Hot In Here?

If you like to have a little more kick to your dipping sauce, you can easily do that. Swap out a nice habanero cheddar for the sharp cheddar cheese. That’s a great place to start. More hot sauce, well that’s a no-brainer. And a few pinches of cayenne pepper never hurt anyone either.

I like to serve my wing dipping sauces in these sauce dipping cups. They’re perfect for a batch of wings.

Grippo’s-Crusted Wings

There’s a fine line between fried wings and fried chicken. You know, the fried chicken your grandma would make that is brined in buttermilk, coated in seasoned in flour, and fried to perfection. These Grippo’s-crusted wings come close to crossing that line. But seriously, who cares? They’re just great tasting wings no matter what. You get just the right hint of that Grippo’s BBQ chip flavor. As addicting as the chips are, so are these wings. Just as I can sit down and eat a bag of the chips, I can eat a big batch of these wings. And just as quickly, too!

Grippo's-Crusted Wings

Crazy-Good Chip-Crusted Wings

Oh sure, you could use another potato chip if you wanted to. Or had to. Especially if you’re one of the unfortunate ones that live where they can’t get Grippo’s! Grippo’s are fantastic! These Grippo’s-crusted wings are definitely great wings.

Get Saucy

Me, personally, I didn’t see the need to put any sauce on these wings. If I did, I’d do it on the side. I’d dunk my wings in sauce. Or brush it on the wings. Gently. You definitely would not want to put these wings into a bowl, cover them in sauce, and toss them around to coat them. All of that wonderful crispy batter would fly off, all over the place. Every place but on the wings, where it needs to stay. So don’t do that. Sauce on the side or brush it on or skip the sauce entirely. They don’t really need it.

Grandma?

The chips make for the best crunchy coating on fried chicken wings too! So next time you’re frying up ‘regular’ chicken, use some crunched up Grippo’s instead of crackers.

Prep Time1 hour
Cook Time15 minutes
Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Keyword: deep-fried, wings
Servings: 6
Calories: 68kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

For the wings

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

For the dredge (makes more than you'll need for 6 servings)

For the Grippo's coating

Instructions

  • Combine all of the dredge ingredients (don't add the chips yet). Store in an air-tight container. You won't need all of it for a batch of wings, so keep the extra on hand for frying wings or chicken pieces.
  • When you are ready to make the wings, place just enough of the dredge into a bowl for the wings. Don't go crazy with it, less is more.
  • Add a good few handfuls of chips (to taste) to a resealable bag. Seal and crush with the edge of your hand. Don't pulverize them, you want some texture, but you don't want any big pieces either. Add to the dredge and mix well.
  • To use, rinse your wings and pat dry. Place into a bowl or pie plate.
  • Sprinkle with coating as desired. Toss or roll to coat.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle again with a small amount of coating. Again toss or roll to coat.
  • Return to the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • To fry, bring a few inches of oil to 350 F. Fry wings 9-12 minutes or until done, turning as they cook. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.

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 Plucker’s Medium Buffalo wings 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. These Plucker’s Medium Buffalo wings are a real winner!

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. These Plucker’s Fire in the Hole wings have flavor for sure!

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 of these Plucker’s Fire in the Hole wings!

Rick’s Coffee Burn Dry Wings

I was a bit skeptical about a coffee and chicken. Sure, coffee often finds its way into my beef rubs or sauces, but it’s not something I thought would work so well with chicken wings. Rick’s coffee burn dry wings have so many great flavors it’s impossible to point to just one that makes them taste so great. You taste the coffee, the bouillon, garlic, onion… all of it. And there’s no lack of heat, either. Chipotle powder and jalapeno powder both pack a punch, but like everything else in the rub, they don’t drown out the other flavors.

Rick's Coffee Burn Dry Wings

Dry Wings Are Always A Win

I’m a huge fan of dry rubbed wings. Sauced wings are fantastic too. But you have to be careful that the sauce doesn’t become the only star of the show. You don’t want to hide the seasoning and the chicken. Rick’s coffee burn dry wings let me taste of all of the spices, and still I taste chicken. If you can’t taste the chicken, what’s the point?

Got Seasonings?

You have to take care of your dry seasonings. In return, they’ll take care of you by always being ready the next time you need them! Protect seasonings from the four main enemies of flavor: heat, light, air, and moisture. Never store them above the stove or oven, where steam and temperature swings cause caking and quick degradation. If you have a problem with high humidity causing your dry seasonings to cake, try adding a silica gel packet to the containers to remove moisture.

I like to make my spice, rub and seasoning mixes in big batches and keep them in large bottles with easy-to-pour shaker lids.

Japanese Barbecue Sauce Wings

This post is for the original, non-spicy version of Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce. Also check out my post on their spicy Japanese barbecue sauce!

Japanese Barbecue Sauce makes me sad. Sad that I went so long before buying a bottle and squeezing it onto some wings, that is! My goodness me is this ever good stuff! I mean crazy good. Lightly sweet and lightly salty, it’s what teriyaki sauce wishes it could be. I cannot stop eating wings covered in this sauce. And I’m not afraid to admit it, I double-sauced my wings.

Japanese Barbecue Sauce Wings

“Oh. My. Goodness.” Good.

Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue sauce is a little on the thin side. Normally that would be a minus on wings. You won’t want your sauce to end up at the bottom of your plate, you need it to stick to your wings. Well, this sauce has so much fantastic flavor that you don’t need it to be super thick. Not at all. A light coating on your wings is sufficient. You don’t have to slather it on deep and thick.

If you want, do like I do and put a small bowl of extra sauce on the side for dipping. You won’t regret it. I use condiment cups for sauce. Any sauce. This sauce. Ranch. Blue cheese. Whatever. They’re great for sauce. Just the right size.

Other Stuff

There are other things in life besides wings. Or so I’m told. This sauce is great on them too. One of my favorites is to steam or blanch broccoli, then air fry it or throw it on a hot griddle for a bit. I then toss it in a bit of this sauce right before serving. And I don’t toss it in cold sauce, either. If it’s been refrigerated I let it come to room temperature first. There’s no reason to toss hot broccoli in a cold sauce. Or wings for that matter!

Red Chile BBQ Sauce Wings

Boy was I ever happy that I bought a sampling of the seasonings, sauces, and jellies from AlbuKirky Seasonings. Everything in the online store looked and sounded so good. I anxiously awaited the day my package arrived (which was very soon after I clicked ‘Check out’). I knew exactly what I was going to do first: chicken wings made with Kirk’s red chile rub and sauced with his red chile BBQ sauce. The perfect combination of southwestern flavors and a little kick of heat, the rub and sauce made for fantastic wings.

Red Chile BBQ Wings

Uniquely Delicious

I’ve used the red chile rub and BBQ sauce on many things since making these wings. Ribs, burgers, chicken, you name it, all came out great. But, oh, how I do love the wings. There’s no flavor like it to be found in any wing place around here, that’s for sure. There should be.

Capital City Mambo Wings

I can definitely say that Capital City Mambo wings are crazy amazingly good. It’s a ketchup-based sweet sauce that has great flavor and the perfect consistency for wings. It’d be great on a whole bunch of foods, but it really shines on wings for sure. It’s not spicy, so you don’t have to worry about it scaring off your I-don’t-like-heat guests.

Capital City Mambo Wings

An All-Around Great Sauce

I ordered a squeeze bottle (perfect for squirting onto wings!) each of the sauces from Capital City. Now I can see that I’m going to have to order jugs instead, because this stuff just isn’t going to last around here. Next time I grill ribs, burgers, or chicken, this sauce is gonna be right there, too. It’s not just fantastic on wings, nope, Capital City Mambo wing sauce is for everything!

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.

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 dipping.

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

My Trusty Wingman

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!
