Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings

This right here is why I go down the aisle of my local grocery store where they have the chicken fry mixes. There’s usually quite a few of them, and I like to try them all. There are hot ones. Mild ones. A few crunchy ones. Even extra crunchy. All sorts of them. So I always grab some. And I go home and make some wings! Today I made some Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Hot and Spicy Chicken wings. It’s the perfect batter. The kind that sticks to my wings. And it’s nicely crunchy but without being too much so. It’s spicy, but definitely not too spicy. This is my kind of wing mix!

Zatarain's New Orleans Style Hot and Spicy Chicken Wings

Sauce. On The Side.

Sure, you bet, I could eat this Zatarain’s New Orleans Style Hot and Spicy chicken wings straight up. Naked. Without any sauce. And I have and they are darned good. But I can also sauce things up a bit. But on the side. I am not a fan of saucing deep-fried battered wings, in most cases at least. You go to tossing those wings in sauce and two bad things happen. First, that crunchy, delicious batter starts flying off. That’s not good at all. Second, what batter is left gets soggy. And that’s not good either. So I pour my sauce in a little ole cup on the side, perfect for dipping or drizzling right before I take a bite! Perfect!

Instructions

  • Heat 2-3" of oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350 F. While the oil is heating, prepare the wings.
  • Combine the 2 1/2 tablespoons of mix and water in a small bowl. I like to use a whisk to get the mix well distributed.
  • Place the 1/4 cup of mix in a flat bowl such as a small salad bowl.
  • Working in batches as needed, first coat the wings in the wet mix. Get them all good and wet on all sides.
  • Transfer the wings to the dry mix and roll them around, pressing lightly, to coat completely. Add more mix if you need it. Don't be shy!
  • Fry the wings 8-12 minutes or until they reach 165 F. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve with your favorite sauce for dipping.

Notes

I recommend dipping your wings in sauce instead of tossing them in the sauce. Tossing will knock off that beautiful crunchy batter!

The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Parmesan Wings

So I went and ordered a bunch of sauces from The Dirty Buffalo a more-than-a-wing-joint in Virginia. I kinda randomly started with them, making wings, having a great time. Then along came these The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Parmesan wings. And my world changed. Sure, all the sauces I’ve tried are amazingly good. Fantastic. But this sauce? Above and beyond. I am stuck on these wings big time. Oh so good and garlicky. Lots of it. And Parmesan? Parmesan galore. My goodness do I ever love this sauce. Many thanks to The Dirty Buffalo for this one.

The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Parmesan Wings

Dip Or Drag

I love this sauce so much that I found myself dragging my wings thru the sauce on the bottom of my plate so I didn’t waste any. The Dirty Buffalo Garlic Parmesan wings are so good I just couldn’t stop. I licked my plate. I can do that because I was eating at home. But honestly, I’d do it in their restaurant too. I’m betting that they are used to that by now! If you’re worried what others might think of you, just order more sauce on the side and get to dipping!

Just Make Some Wings

I used my air fryer to make my standard batch of wings then sauced them. You can make your wings any way you want. Just don’t use anything that might overpower the sauce. Don’t go crazy with any seasoning. The sauce is the winner here. Big time. Let it shine!

I Shoulda Bought More

I think this sauce would be fantastic on a salad. I’m not going to try it though. I just bought one bottle. I gotta have my wings. Next time, I’ll get more and try it on some greens!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 350 F.
  • Lightly salt the wings on all sides.
  • 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.

Notes

Note: If your wing sauce is refrigerated, set it out on the countertop before starting the wings so that it warms up a bit. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings.
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.

Louisiana Fish Fry Spicy Fried Chicken Wings

Do it. Go down the aisle of your local grocery store where they keep the chicken fry mixes. There’s usually quite a few. Hot. Mild. Crunchy. Extra crunchy. All sorts of them. Grab some. Grab them all. And go home and make some wings! I highly recommend you start out with some Louisiana Fish Fry Spicy Fried chicken wings. It’s the perfect batter, the kind that sticks to the wings. All over. Crunchy. Oh so crunchy. Seasoned perfectly with a little spicy kick.

Louisiana Fish Fry Spicy Fried Chicken Wings

Make It Buffalo-Style

Yep, you sure could eat these Louisiana Fish Fry Spicy Fried chicken wings ‘naked’. No, no, not without clothes on! I mean without any sauce! Me, I wanted a little Buffalo feel to mine. A little more heat. So I served a little cup of Buffalo wing sauce on the side for dipping. I recommend dipping these wings instead of putting them in a bowl and dousing them with sauce and tossing. Tossing will knock that beautiful, delicious, crunchy coating off. What good would that be? So don’t do that. Dip them, if you want.

Need something a bit tamer? Try Louisiana Fish Fry’s less-spicy coating instead.

Schnucks Medium Buffalo Wings

We recently took a few days off and drove from Indiana into Illinois. Our trip was centered around hitting a few antique malls around Bloomington, IL. But, as luck would have it, our hotel was right by a Schnucks a regional grocery store. I knew exactly that that meant: regional grocery store wing sauces! Woo hoo! The last day of our trip we stopped by the store at around 7am. We were the only ones there. I grabbed a bottle of each and every wing sauce they had. The checkout lady must’ve thought I was nuts. When we got home, I got to making wings. And boy, what a great time it was too! My Schnucks medium Buffalo wings hit the spot. What a great sauce! And at a great price, too!

Schnucks Medium Buffalo Sauce Wings

What It’s About

There’s nothing fancy going on with these Schnucks Medium Buffalo wings. I made a batch of wings. I tossed them in the sauce. Then, I enjoyed the heck out of them. Great spice level for starters. Not too hot, by any stretch. Just a little heat in the background. Great Buffalo-inspired flavors. Not overly vinegar-y either.

I love buying regional wing sauces. Grocery stores, bars, restaurants. Doesn’t matter where they come from. I rarely have encountered one I didn’t love. Schnuck’s sauces are no exception. Grab yourself some. You’ll be happy you did!

Nando’s Garlic Wings

Garlic. Lots of garlic. More and more garlic. If you’re a big fan of garlic like I am, you’re going to love some Nando’s garlic wings. This sauce is spot-on great for us garlic lovers. And it has a little bit of heat to it too. That’s an extra win. So go make yourself some wings, grab some of this wonderful sauce, and get to enjoying garlic greatness!

Nando's Garlic Wings

Cook Them And They Will Eat

The sauce is the real star of this wing show. So when you make your wings, don’t go crazy seasoning them. You don’t want a flavor fight here. You want to taste all of that wonderful garlic. For me that usually means very-lightly seasoned wings cooked in an air fryer, then sauced to perfection and devoured immediately. No matter what method you use to cook them, you’re going to love the flavor of these Nando’s garlic wings.

This sauce is also great for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders, you name it!

Nando’s Buffalo Wings

There are a lot of Buffalo wing sauces out there. This one’s different. These Nando’s Buffalo wings had a little something about them. A little taste that I haven’t found in other traditional wing sauces. This is all thanks to the addition of peri peri chilis. They’re fantastic. They make this sauce fantastic.

Nando's Buffalo Wings

Different Is Good

There’s nothing wrong with traditional Buffalo wings. Don’t get me wrong. I’ve had plenty of them. Many were similar. Some were different. And a few, like these Nando’s Buffalo wings, were quite different, thanks to the sauce. Pretty much your ‘standard’ sauce consistency. And pretty ‘tame’ in the heat department. But mighty ‘yummy’ in the taste.

Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour Chicken Wings

There are those that would argue that these Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour chicken wings are ‘just’ fried chicken. Yep, they are. They’re right. Well, not about the ‘just’ part though. These wings are delicious no matter what you call them. To ‘Buffalo-ize’ them I serve them with some sauce on the side for dunking. There, now we’re all happy!

Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour Chicken Wings

Through Thick Or Thin

Many Buffalo wings are battered and fried. Some have a thick coating. Some thin. These Kentucky Kernel Seasoned chicken wings are somewhere in the middle. They’re not overly battered so you might call them grandma’s fried chicken. But they aren’t so lightly battered that you’d call them traditional Buffalo wings either . Yes, I know, some folks don’t batter their Buffalo wings… but some do!

These wings have a wonder flavor. The seasoning in the batter is perfect. Not spicy, just tasty. Great just as they are, right out of the fryer. Even better, I think, dunked in Buffalo wing sauce. Not tossed in it, though. Tossing the chicken in sauce knocks off that crunchy batter and makes it soggy. So I go for the dunk!

Oh and yes, you can make these wings instead, if you prefer. I went for the deep-fry because that’s what I prefer!

Instructions

For the Wings

  • Dunk the wings in the milk. Get them well-coated then shake off any excess.
  • Add the wings to the fry mix and turn to coat well. I like to press the wings into the mix several times to make sure I don't get any 'bald spots'.
  • Heat 3" of oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350 F.
  • Working in batches if necessary, fry the wings 8-10 minutes or until they reach 165 F. Transfer to a rack over a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or wing sauce on the side, if desired.
I like to put my milk in a short glass and then dunk the wings into it. You can also add it to a bowl and just roll the wings around to get them well-coated.
Sure, you can bake your wings instead of deep-frying them! Just follow the instructions on the package.

The Dirty Buffalo Sweet BBQ Wings

It’s not that I didn’t want traditional Buffalo-style wings for lunch. But I did want a little break from them. I wanted a little sweetness. But not too sweet. I wasn’t looking for dessert wings! I’m a huge fan of BBQ sauced-wings. Any chance I get I tell people they shouldn’t just peruse the wing sauce section of their grocery store. They should spend some time over at the BBQ sauces too. You might find something great and make something almost as good as these The Dirty Buffalo Sweet BBQ wings. These are mighty tasty wings and a great alternative to your usual spicy Buffalo wings. They’re definitely the kind of wings you could serve to the “no heat please” crowd.

The Dirty Buffalo Sweet BBQ Wings

Make Some Wings Your Way

I used my air fryer to make my standard batch of air fryer wings then sauced them. You can make The Dirty Buffalo Sweet BBQ wings any way you want. Just don’t use anything that might overpower the sauce. Don’t go crazy with any seasoning. You don’t need to make them sweeter and you don’t need to add any heat. Well, ok you could add a bit of heat but just a hint maybe.

Schnucks Hatch Pepper Wings

We stopped at a Schnucks grocery store on a recent trip to Illinois. I’d never been to a Schnucks. And boy oh boy did I ever hit the wing sauce jackpot there! Schnucks has their own brand of bottled sauces. All sorts of flavors. I grabbed one of each and when I got home I got to making some wings (and saucing them!). Sadly, there is an end to my journey and it came today when I made some Schnucks Hatch Pepper wings. The last bottle of sauce in my pantry. And definitely one of the best!

Schnucks Hatch Pepper Wings

Crazy Delicious

I might have been living under a rock, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I was introduced to hatch peppers. I loved them at first bite. So much so that I ordered a case of them! They are so flavorful. Without a tremendous amount of heat. It’s that delicate balance that I really enjoy. And that’s why I loved these Schnucks Hatch Pepper wings so much. The right amount of hatch pepper flavor. A little heat (but not too much). All in a sauce with the right consistency. This is a delicious sauce and a great way to end (for now) my trip thru the fine wing sauces from Schnucks.

Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana Hot Sauce Wings

I love it when I find a new hot sauce that’s just a bit different than the rest. I crave flavor in my hot sauce, and not just heat. And I love making any hot sauce into a sauce for wings. These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings are delicious with just the right heat level for me. Not overly hot, and not boring, either. These are fingerlickingly-good wings!

Kinder's Creamy Louisiana Hot Wings

Make Wings. Make Sauce. And Make Yourself Happy.

This wasn’t complicated. I threw some wings into the air fryer. Or the deep-fryer. I don’t remember. It’s not really about that. I just needed some cooked-up wings. Meanwhile I made the sauce. Two ingredients. That’s it. I went for a hotter sauce, but as you can see in the recipe below, you can adjust the heat by changing the ratio of butter to hot sauce. I tossed the wings in the sauce, sat down, and got to eatin’. And I was happy. Very happy. That’s wing success right there! These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings did not disappoint!
