I’ve said it before. If you’re standing in the wing sauce section of the grocery store, trying to decide on the next sauce you’re going to grab for a great batch of wings, do not hesitate to try the store brand. I was at Kroger, and I couldn’t help myself. I grabbed one each of every one of their sauces, including the Kroger Medium Buffalo wing sauce. The sauce turned out to be perfect! A decent hint of heat and the perfect consistency. This is a mighty fine wing sauce, and boy, the price was right!
The Perfect Party Wing Sauce
If you by chance end up with any leftover Kroger’s medium Buffalo wing sauce, toss it in the fridge. Make sure you warm it a bit (at least to room temperature) before using it on your next batch of wings. Nothing makes hot wings sad faster than tossing them in cold wing sauce!
I was intrigued when I came across a display of Joey Chestnut’s wing sauces at Jungle Jim’s outside of Cincinnati. All of the flavors sounded unique and awesome. I ended up making a batch of wings with Joey Chestnut Creamy Green Hatch and Jalapeno wing sauce first, and boy, let me tell you, this is a crazy good wing sauce. And it’s definitely different. It has just the right kick, the right spiciness. But the star is the green Hatch chile flavor. Man, it’s good.
This sauce is also great on taco salads. And tacos.
Creamy And Different
Joey Chestnut Creamy Green Hatch and Jalapeno wing sauce is nice and creamy. At first you might think it’s a bit thick. But as soon as it hits those hot wings it gets nice and perfect. It sticks to the wings, but it isn’t overly thick, either. It’s definitely finger-licking good.
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.
Hooter’s is where my wing addiction started. These Hooter’s medium wing sauce wings (deep fried!) are as close to the real thing as you can get. Lightly crunchy, super tasty breading with a just-spicy-enough Buffalo wing sauce. No pain from the heat here, just great wings. This is not a copycat recipe. These wings are made with the same breading and sauce you can order online or pick up in the retail section at any Hooter’s. Get some, make these wings, and be happy!
Great Wings Without All The Heat
I can fry 5-6 Hooter’s medium wing sauce wings at a time in aFry Daddy fryer. It makes for some perfect wings. Only downside is that you can’t select the cook temperature, so I end up cooking my wings a bit longer since the oil is around 325 F-350 F. Still it makes for great wings in no time with a lot less oil than if I’d used my big restaurant-style fryer!
If you like to serve your Hooter’s medium wing sauce wings with carrots and celery on the side, I recommend that you take a vegetable peeler to remove the outer strings. The celery is oh so much more tender without those pesky things!
The days of thin, bland sugar free wing sauces have come to an end. G Hughes’ line of low carb sauces totally make you forget what’s not in them. I don’t even think of them as sugar free. I just think of them as great on wings. G Hughes Sugar Free Thai Chili wing sauce is no exception. I’ve had tons of Asian-inspired chili sauces, and this is a fantastic sauce no matter what.
A Sweet Thai Sauce Without The Carbs
G Hughes Sugar Free Thai Chili wing sauce has just the right sweetness and just the right spiciness. I love it on wings, but it’s also delicious as a dipping sauce for shrimp or chicken nuggets. Very delicious. Do yourself a favor and get more than one bottle. You’ll want to always have one on hand!

I was cruisin’ down I-70 near Springfield, Ohio, when the lunch time hungers started to hit. I took a quick glance at the map (which is always set to show nearby wing restaurants) and saw a Fricker’s. Since I’ve never been to one, I figured well heck, now’s the time! So I went on in, grabbed a seat, and ordered some wings. Long story short, I left the place full and with a sack full of Fricker’s wing sauces. That way I could enjoy the same flavors at home, starting with Fricker’s BBQ wing sauce wings.
Not Just A BBQ Wing Sauce
Fricker’s BBQ wing sauce wings have a slight smoky flavor with just a hint of heat. It’s a thinner tomato-based sauce with a slight sweetness to it. At first I thought it was pretty much your standard BBQ-like sauce. But it really grew on me. A lot. And now I wish I’d bought more.
The sauce comes in glass bottles (yes!) and they have 4 of their signature flavors available online and in the stores. You can get any of their sauces in the restaurant to go, too. They’ll make them up for you fresh and package them in Mason jars. They’re very reasonably priced. And hey, you get a Mason jar to boot!
I usually make my own sauce when it comes to Cajun-flavored chicken wings. But, for something new I grabbed a bottle of Cravin’ Cajun Wing Sauce from Louisiana Fish Fry Products. Our local grocery store has a number of Cajun-seasoned items. Thankfully. Cravin’ Cajun wing sauce has a nice hot sauce kick to it, sort of like a traditional wing sauce, but with some great southern spice.
Great Flavor In Every Bite
So I just made up a batch of wings my usual way, cooking them on the Char-Broil Big Easy for a bit. You can also make them on a grill, smoker, in the oven or in a deep fryer. Then I tossed them in some Cravin’ Cajun wing sauce sauce and served them with Ranch dipping sauce. Easy. Great.
Want a really great way to cook up a huge batch of kickin’ good chicken nuggets? Just heat your favorite frozen pre-cooked nuggets as the package says, then put them in a large bowl. Pour on the Cravin’ Cajun sauce and toss to coat. Perfect for a huge party and down-right absolutely delicious!
I never really thought I’d write a post titled The Mustard Man Simply Horsey wings. Let me start by saying that I’m not usually a fan of horseradish. I like it in my cocktail sauce, and then only a little is enough.
Fortunately for me, this sauce has just the right amount of horseradish. It’s a creamy, delicious mayonnaise-based sauce that my wife absolutely loves on sandwiches. And now, I love it on wings!
Horseradish Heaven
These Mustard Man Simply Horsey wings made a horseradish believer out of me. It has shown me that the right balance of ingredients can make for a great wings with just the right amount of horseradish heat. These are great wings.
I’m not sure, but I might have teared up a bit the first time I saw an ad for Blonde Beard’s sauces and rubs. Everything looked so good. And the flavors? Yowsa! IPA Buffalo! Black Magic! Holy Hell! And Chicken and Waffles! I quickly cracked open the sauce, gave it a taste, went ‘mmmmm’, and drizzled it on my hot-out-of-the-fryer wings.
It’s not breakfast
The sauce is based on a mild traditional vinegar Buffalo wing sauce. Not too much heat (thanks to cayenne), but enough to be noticed. Then comes the sweetness from maple syrup. Oh yeah. My mouth was telling me I was having wings for breakfast but it was definitely lunch time.
A true favorite of mine
I suspected that I’d love Blonde Beard’s Chicken and Waffles wing sauce before I ever opened it and I was right. I’m a big Buffalo sauce fan, and an even bigger maple syrup fan (it’s scary how much I can put on my waffles!). The sauce is thin, like any vinegar-based sauce tends to be, but you don’t need much to get that great mildly spicy sweetness.
Of course, the Anchor Bar is famous as being the creator of what we now call traditional Buffalo wings. But, not all of their wing sauce flavors are based in vinegar or butter or hot sauce. Anchor Bar Barbecue wings are just as fantastic as the classic. Tomato based, this sauce is lightly smoky, lightly sweet, and has just a slight bit of a spicy kick to it. It’s perfect on wings.
It’s Not Just Great on Wings!
Anchor Bar Barbecue wing sauce is equally as great on a smoked rack of ribs or a grilled chicken breast as it is on deep-fried chicken wings. It has the right consistency, the right flavors to make it a great straight-up BBQ 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.
I’m pretty sure that if you make your own wings at home, by law, you have to have a few bottles of Anchor Bar Hot Buffalo wing sauce on hand at all times. The medium heat version is a great sauce to serve a crowd. But sometimes someone, maybe you, maybe not, wants some more kick. Well, say hello to the Anchor Bar hot Buffalo wings sauce. Same great flavor, more heat. Win!
Great Flavor without too much Heat
I wouldn’t call the spicier version of the classic sauce over-the-top spicy. It’s a great sauce with a great kick. It hits you then it sneaks off, leaving you with great flavor and great wings. Anchor Bar Hot Buffalo wing sauce wingsare really good. Finger-licking good. Get a few bottles and keep some on hand at all times. It’s the law!
