Stubb’s Texas Sriracha Anytime Sauce Wings

Stubb’s recently came out with a line of marinades and what they call anytime sauces. Our local grocery store had them all on sale, so I grabbed two or three bottles of each and headed on home with thoughts of the many things I was going to use them in. First up? Wings of course, so I grabbed a bottle of Anytime sauce and went to work making a batch of Stubb’s Texas Sriracha wings!

Stubb's Texas Sriracha Wings

Fantastic Flavor With The Right Kick

The heat from the Texas Sriracha Anytime sauce isn’t overpowering. Great flavor and a bit of a kick. It’s what I’d call the perfect bottled sauce, and absolutely the best thing for Stubb’s Texas Sriracha wings (or grilled chicken, or steak for that matter). It makes for the perfect (kicked up) substitute for the ‘normal’ Sriracha sauce you already use.

Also try Stubb’s black pepper anytime sauce wings.

Pretty Thai Sweet Chili Sauce Wings

This right here is why I just love eating wings. There are so many flavors, so many sauces, seasonings, cooking techniques… and each is fantastic. Pretty Thai Sweet Chili sauce wings are wonderfully delicious. They have an absolutely fantastic flavor. Slightly sweet, with a minimal touch heat and a hint of garlic and vinegar, this is downright tasty sauce. This sauce is ‘very clean’, with only a few ingredients and all of them natural. It might seem a little thin at first, but it’s actually just the right consistency for wings or anything else.

Pretty Thai Sweet Chili Sauce Wings

Great On Other Dishes, Too!

Pretty Thai Sweet Chili sauce wings are reminiscent of Thai BBQ sauced-wings. This sauce would be great on pot stickers, dipping egg rolls, or in a stir fry. But it’s truly outstanding on wings. Sometimes it’s nice to have a break from hot, Buffalo-style wings.

The Pretty Thai brand has a number of fantastic sauces, and they’re great on more than wings. Try them all!

Kinder’s The Chicken Dipping Sauce

This is kind of a change for me. Most of my wing dipping sauces are either homemade or salad dressings. And although it’s not labelled as a ‘wing dipping sauce’, I found Kinder’s The Chicken dipping sauce to be a nice change from my usual wing-dunking choices. The sauce is deliciously creamy, with a slight sweetness and a bit of mustard. A very slight amount of spiciness can be found, but it’s mostly in hiding, so nothing to be afraid of if you’re not into heat. It’s mayonnaise-like in its creaminess. I prefer it for dunking my dry, un-sauced wings.

Kinder's The Chicken Dipping Sauce

Dip Deep. It’s That Good

Kinder’s The Chicken Dipping sauce is also great for dipping nuggets. But, the place it finds the most use in my house (besides for wings) is on sandwiches. Just toast some bread, add some sandwich meat and a slice or two of cheese. Top with plenty of the sauce and get to eatin’!

Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle BBQ Sauce Wings

I’d been on a sweet wing sauce kick. I needed something to bring me out of that. Something to wake me up. Something to wake up my taste buds. Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle BBQ sauce wings did just that. Right up front, I got the tartness of black cherries. No mistaking that taste, that’s for sure. There are hints of smoke and heat, coming from wonderful chipotles. I’m a big fan of chipotles, they add so much to any sauce they are used in. This is a great sauce. It’s different and it’s fantastic on wings.

Kinder's Black Cherry Chipotle BBQ Wings

A Quality Tasty Sauce

Kinder’s sauces and seasonings are the real deal. These Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle BBQ sauce wings are proof of that. Not only is the flavor spot-on, the consistency is perfect for wings, and anything else for that matter. This would make the perfect sauce on grilled ribs for sure. Black cherry and pork go together well. And now, black cherry goes well with wings too!

Also try some Marie Sharp’s smoked habanero wings.

Slow Cooker Buffalo Ranch Wings

I usually cook wings on my Char-Broil Big Easy or on my charcoal grill using the Vortex. I have to admit, I was pretty pessimistic about the idea of cooking wings in a slow cooker. Would I like the texture? Would they taste as great as wings off the grill?

One thing’s for sure, making Buffalo Ranch wings in a slow cooker really couldn’t get any easier. It was the perfect recipe for my working-from-home lunch. Toss everything in first thing in the morning and at lunch, enjoy some wings!

The Verdict Is In…

So how were they? Well, mighty tasty for starters. In fact, I loved the flavor. Big time. Texture-wise, they got barely crispy but the meat was oh-so-tender and juicy. For truly crispy skin you’ll have to leave them under the broiler for a good bit of time, but keep an eye on them. I found the skin to be melt-in-my-mouth tender and I didn’t actually miss not having super-crunchy wings. In fact, it was a nice change. I loved them!

Slow Cooker Buffalo Ranch Wings

They’re Easy. And Good!

Although not traditional Buffalo wings to a purist, I still enjoyed these slow cooker Buffalo Ranch wings more than I actually thought I would. No mess, no fuss and very tasty. Certainly much easier than firing up a grill or even deep fryer to make a batch of the wings you normally expect.

Perdue Lemon Pepper Crispy Air Fryer Wings

I kind of feel like maybe my luck has run out. I enjoyed my first experience with the air fryer wings from Perdue. The hot and spicy wings were yummy and definitely packed a bit of heat. Now I’ve moved on to Perdue Lemon Pepper Crispy Air Fryer wings. Just like the first ones I tried, the wings cook up nice and crunchy. No complaints there. But I felt these lacked in the flavor department. I didn’t get much of the lemon pepper that is advertised on the front of the bag.

Perdue Lemon Pepper Crispy Air Fryer Wings

They’re Crunchy!

Now, despite the lack of lemon pepper flavoring, I still like the crunch of these Perdue Lemon Pepper Crispy Air Fryer wings. Whatever batter they are tossed in cooks up nice and yummy. If they’d sell just the batter I’d be in for a good jug or two of it for sure! I also felt that this bag contained a number of smaller wing segments while also containing a few drumettes that could’ve used a bit of trimming first. Anyways, not bad… just not great!

Thanksgiving Air Fryer Chicken Wings

The temperature outside dropped below 50F and my thoughts turned to Thanksgiving. I can’t help it. I was definitely looking forward to roasting a turkey in my oil-less fryer. But then, I thought, I love wings. How about taking that wonderful turkey seasoning and putting it on a batch of wings too? “Brilliant!” I exclaimed. So I made some Thanksgiving air fryer chicken wings and by golly, the holiday came early! Not only did these wings taste great, they made the house smell fantastic too!

Thanksgiving Air Fryer Chicken Wings

Back For Seconds

I made these Thanksgiving air fryer chicken wings two days in a row. I had to. They were great. I’ll let you in on a little modification that makes them even more Thanksgiving-y. I seasoned the wings upfront, like the recipe states. And I seasoned them when they were done, also like it states. But I also snuck in another round of seasoning. Before the last 6 minute cook, where the air fryer temp is increased to get that great crunchy skin, I placed the wings into a bowl and seasoned them some more. Back into the air fryer they went. Boy, were they ever finger-licking good!

Bandit Wings

The best wings pack flavor into every bite, all the way through. These Bandit wings have flavor and then some. They are marinated overnight, picking up a light soy sauce flavor along with a hint of cumin and chili powder. Sort of southwestern meets Asian.

No Sauce Required

Bandit wings definitely do not require a sauce. You don’t want to hide the fantastic flavors. I did have a little blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping but I used it sparingly. Very sparingly.

Bandit Wings

Garnishes Are Optional

The original recipe called for garnishing these Bandit wings with black sesame seeds. Apparently they’re as rare as a unicorn here so I went with plain ole ‘normal’ sesame seeds. You get that bit of sesame seed flavor either way. You can order the seeds online, of course.

If you do decide to have a side sauce for dipping, I recommend these little cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings!

Air Fryer Holy Voodoo Dry Wings

Grillers and BBQ smokers all over tout how great Meat Church’s seasonings are. Me, I always make wings first with any new seasoning I pick up. I don’t sauce them. I don’t bury them in other flavors. My favorite is making dry wings. And I found these air fryer Holy Voodoo dry wings to be absolutely delicious! The seasoning is slight sweet with both white and brown sugar. It’s a bit salty, but I do tend to like salty seasonings. And it’s just a tad spicy.

Air Fryer Holy Voodoo Wings

Double-Seasoned

I season my air fryer Holy Voodoo dry wings a bit before putting them into the air fryer. Now, because of the sugars in the seasoning I don’t go nuts with it. But I want that flavor before to be added before and after cooking the wings. You can actually skip this step but.. why?

Try all of the seasonings from Meat Church on wings. Or whatever you’re cooking.

There’s nothing fancy about the air fryer that I use. But it works great on wings. I use it a lot. And I do mean a lot. Mostly for wings. I know. Shocking. Cleanup is fairly easy. It easily holds enough wings for two people. Or one me when I’m really wing-hungry.

I love using my air fryer for wings. Checkout some of my favorite wing recipes, all made using an air fryer.

Instructions

  • Season the wings with the Meat Church Holy Voodoo seasoning. Don't go crazy with it as the high heat from the air fryer can burn the sugars. You want enough to taste the great flavors, but don't drown the wings in it.
  • Place wings in fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 350 F.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!).
  • Cook wings for 12 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and cook another 12 minutes.
  • Increase the air fryer temperature to 400 F and cook another 6 minutes.
  • Remove wings from fryer and place in a bowl. Toss with more seasoning, to taste. Now's a good time to not be shy with the seasoning.
  • Let cool slightly (the wings will crisp as they cool) then serve.

Notes

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.

Fire and Smoke Society Honey Garlic Dry Wings

I’m not a complicated guy. I don’t need some big ole 40-ingredient wing sauce to make me happy. Nope, I’m perfectly fine with a perfectly cooked wing tossed in a perfectly good seasoning. Like these Fire and Smoke Society Honey Garlic dry wings. It doesn’t really matter how the wings are actually cooked. For me, for lunch, it means an air fryer for 20-30 minutes. Then I season them. Big time. And then I get crunchy wings with a wonderful garlicky flavor that is lightly sweet. Oh and there’s some herbs in there too for a great balance! A little paprika, pepper and thyme. The perfect combination for wings!

Don’t Be Shy!

There’s one thing to always remember when it comes to making dry wings. Go big on the seasoning. Even when you think you’ve added enough, add more. And do it right as the wings come off whatever you cooked them in. Get ’em while they are hot!

Honey Garlic Dry Wings

Check Your Pantry

These Fire and Smoke Society Honey Garlic dry wings are proof that a bottle of seasoning doesn’t have to say ‘for wings’ on it for it to be great on wings! I bought this seasoning originally for seasoning full-sized chickens before they’d end up on a rotisserie or in my oil-less fryer. I knew instantly that it’d be great on wings, too. And I was more than right! These are what dry wings are about!

So go to your pantry and see what you might have on hand that’d be great on wings. Chances are, no matter what you bought it for originally, that bottled seasoning is great on wings too!
