Schnucks Mild Buffalo Sauce Wings

We took a few days and went over to Bloomington, IL to do a little antiquing. Our hotel was next door to a grocery store, a regional chain named Schnucks. This of course meant I had to go on a wing sauce hunt. And boy did I make out like a bandit! Schnuck’s has a big selection of its own brand of wing sauces. I grabbed them all. The nice lady at the checkout didn’t even blink an eye. When we got home I made a batch of easy air fryer wings and sauced them up. I loved these Schnucks Mild Buffalo sauce wings!

Schnucks Mild Buffalo Sauce Wings

Nice Flavor. Great Heat.

I love a good mellow, tasty Buffalo wing sauce. These Schnucks mild Buffalo sauce wings hit the spot. I was more than happy. Great flavor. Just a little bump of heat. A hint. And let me tell you, you can’t beat the price either. Next time we’re anywhere near a Schnucks I’m stopping by and grabbing some more of this sauce and all their others!

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.

Braswell’s Spicy Hot Wings

I could wings using a lot of different techniques and tools, but the air fryer is probably most common just because it’s fast and easy and is perfect for making a batch of wings just for myself. It’s as simple as seasoning them, cooking them, and saucing them. Today I made a batch of Braswell’s Spicy Hot wings. Kind of a traditional Buffalo wing sauce, it made for the perfect lunchtime wings. A little kick. Tremendous flavor. What more could I ask for?

Braswell’s Spicy Hot Wings

Traditions Last

These Braswell’s Spicy Hot wings are a nice nod to the classic Buffalo wing sauces. Vinegary. A little thin (that’s not a downer, that’s just what vinegar is like!). Fantastic seasoning with a wonderful slightly different taste. The heat level isn’t very high. I’d call them sorta spicy. Spicy-ish? Depends on your level of heat tolerance, though. Some might say they’re quite spicy. So if you’re serving these to your pals, ya might want to give them a heads up first!

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. These The Dirty Buffalo Buffalo Soldier wings are fantastic!

The Dirty Buffalo Buffalo Soldier Wings

Jerk. And Right Kind of Jerk.

The Dirty Buffalo Buffalo Soldier wings hit 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 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.

My Trusty Wingman

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.

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!

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!

Check out my complete guide on how to sauce your wings. From breaded and deep-fried to air-fried to grilled, I’ve got your covered.

But remember… There’s nothing wrong at all with serving and devouring these wings without any sauce whatsoever. In fact, I highly recommend it! They’re delicious without any kind of sauce!

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!

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!

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!

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, golden brown coating off. What good would that be? All that effort spent getting it perfect, lost forever! So don’t do that. Dip them, if you want.

If you do decide to use a sauce on your wings, or dip them in sauce, don’t hit them with a cold, refrigerated sauce. Make sure your sauce is at least at room temperature first. Or even better, warmed slightly on the stovetop!

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.

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!

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

Brrrrrrrrr!

Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that times getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.

So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.

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.

Brrrrrrrr!

Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that times getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.

So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.

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 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!

Also try some wings tossed up in Moore’s Buffalo wing sauce!

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!

Don’t fear ‘just’ fried chicken wings. We all love fried chicken for a reason.

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 flour 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! I use condiment cups for my dunking sauces. Doesn’t matter what the sauce is, either. Blue cheese. Ranch. Buffalo. The cups don’t care.

Check out my complete guide on how to sauce your wings. From breaded and deep-fried to air-fried to grilled, I’ve got your covered.

But remember… There’s nothing wrong at all with serving and devouring these wings without any sauce whatsoever. In fact, I highly recommend it! They’re delicious without any kind of sauce!

Oh and yes, you can bake 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.
