Chili Crisp Wings using the Vortex

Yowsa. Talk about a great flavor combination. The light charcoal and wood smokiness from the Vortex and the spicy umami-ness of chili crisp made me one happy guy. These chili crisp wings using the Vortex really hit the spot. Nothing complicated here. With that first bite my face lit up and I mouthed “Wow. That’s good.” I made these wings three days in a row. Now that’s saying something!

Chili Crisp Wings using the Vortex

The Whole Chili Crisp. Or Just The Oil.

I tried my chili crisp wings using the Vortex two different ways. Or I added the chili crisp two different ways, I should say. The first time I spooned the mixture over the top, getting a good bit of the chili peppers on each and every wing. A little spicy, the wings were great. Hints of garlic and onion and fermented black beans. Almost soy sauce-like. Just good stuff. Second time, I just used the oil from the jar of chili crisp. More like a wing sauce. Again, delicious. And a little less spicy.

Your flavor experience will vary based on the type of chili crisp you buy. You can also make your own, there are lots of recipes out there for that.

Instructions

  • Place the wings into a large bowl. Season well with the salt and pepper.
  • Place the Vortex into the center of your grill. Open the bottom vents on your grill by 1/3, while keeping the top vent open completely.
  • Light a charcoal chimney full of charcoal. Alternatively, you can fill your Vortex with charcoal and light them inside the unit.
  • Let the charcoal get fully ashed over then add to the Vortex.
  • Add the chicken as shown in the picture above. For the flats have the skin side up, and for the drumettes keep the meaty part away from the fire.
  • Close the grill and cook for 15 minutes.
  • Rotate the lid 90 degrees and cook for another 15 minutes.
  • Flip the wings. Rotate another 90 degrees and cook 15 more minutes.
  • Check if the wings are as crispy as you like. If not, rotate another 90 degrees and cook another 15 minutes.
  • Transfer wings to a bowl and toss and/or drizzle with the chili crisp. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

Make sure you give your chili crisp a good stir before using.
I’ve not found that rotating the grill has an affect on how great this wings turn out. So don’t sweat it if you forget to do it.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce if desired.

Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple Wings

It’s as if someone at Frank’s RedHot was monitoring my dreams. Taking notes. Then, they created a sauce especially for me. Plenty of sweet, and plenty of heat. The stuff dreams are made of. And maple. Oh, maple. That wonderful aroma, with hints of vanilla and caramel. All I had to do was cook wings and add sauce to make my dreams come true. Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple wings are the kind of wings that I wake up every day for. I could not get enough of them!

Frank's RedHot Spicy Maple Wings

More. Or Less.

I made a batch of my easy air fryer wings. A little seasoning, and cook. Nothing fancy, nothing crazy. I left the flavors up to the sauce. These Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple wings don’t need any help. You can put a little sauce for wonderful hints of sweetness, maple and spiciness. Or you can load up on the sauce and get a lot of everything. Your call. That’s why there’s a tomorrow. Do it one way today, and another tomorrow.

This sauce is also crazy good on chicken and waffles. Like big time crazy good.

Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon Wings

This is one decidedly different wing sauce. When I made a batch of Terrapin Ridge Farms hot pepper bacon wings I knew I was in for a total detour from the usual bottled wing sauce. For starters, this sauce looks different. You can see the real, fresh ingredients inside. You can see peppers. And you can see tomato sauce. It almost looks like a salsa or even a jam, but not as thick. That first bite proved this isn’t the usual sauce. Smoky bacon, plenty of roasted red peppers, a very slight bit of jalapeno spiciness and tomato goodness are the stars of the show here.

Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon Wings

I Got It At Buc-ee’s

I picked up a bottle of this sauce at a Buc-ee’s in Sevierville, TN. I’m always on the lookout for a wing sauce I haven’t tried, and these Terrapin Ridge Farms Hot Pepper Bacon wings are a good reason why. There’s no point in getting bored with the sauces you keep using over and over. Branch out. There are a ton of great sauces out there, like this one!

The Dirty Buffalo Hot Buffalo Wings

It pays to branch out when looking for new wing sauces. Make your own. Buy the national brands. Try a few local ones too. And absolutely, positively make sure you seek out great wing joints that also sell their sauces. The best sauces often come from smaller market restaurants and bars. They pay attention to taste and quality. They have to. There’s a lot of competition out there. You gotta make good stuff to stand out and succeed. And that’s how I came to find The Dirty Buffalo, a more-than-just-a-wing-joint around Norfolk, Chesapeake and Virginia Beach in Virginia. So I ordered a huge bunch of their sauces. Darned near everything they make. And oh, was I excited when they arrived and I made my first batch of wings: The Dirty Buffalo Hot Buffalo wings. This (and the rest I got from them) is one fantastically great sauce. THIS is why you seek these places out.

The Dirty Buffalo Hot Buffalo Wings

Deep-Fried For Wing Perfection

I started out with my favorite deep-fried wings. You can make any wings you like. Just don’t go seasoning them so heavy that you’re going to bury the flavor and heat from these The Dirty Buffalo hot Buffalo wings. The sauce is the winner here. A big winner.

Great Heat. Great Flavor.

The balance between heat and flavor is perfect in this sauce. This is easily one of the best kicked-up Buffalo wing sauces I’ve had. Traditional flavor, perfect consistency and the right amount of heat. I loved it. I’m glad I picked it first from my big box of bottled sauces. This is one great start on my journey through the sauces from The Dirty Buffalo.

Torchbearer Buffalo Wings

This Buffalo wing sauce is a little tamer in the heat department, but still oh soooo good. This was my wife’s absolute favorite sauce. And her favorite wings of all time. Of all time! Man, that says a lot when you consider how many wings get eaten around here. My wife is definitely a big fan of Torchbearer Buffalo wings!

This is the second flavor of Torchbearer wing sauce that I’ve tried. The first, chipotle, was beyond crazy good with fantastic flavor and heat.

Torchbearer Buffalo Wings

Great Tasting Heat In Every Bite

I coated these Torchbearer Buffalo wings first (ala Hooter’s wings) and then deep fried them. Tossed them in Torchbearer sauce and chowed down. And kept chowing. Oh, and don’t waste your time with those scrawny frozen uncooked wings that look like they came off crickets and not chickens. Get the big, fresh family packs.

Get yourself some of this sauce. You will not be sorry.

I like to kick back after a long day of work and just relax and enjoy. Same with my wings. I like to kick back and relax and enjoy every bite. They don’t have to be crazy spicy.

It has just a nice little kick to it. And it’s not lacking in classic flavor. Not at all.

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!

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.

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.
