Torchbearer Buffalo Wing Sauce 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 wing sauce 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.

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.

Also try some Torchbearer chipotle wing sauce wings.

Pick up a bottle and check out the ingredients. Torchbearer mild Buffalo wing sauce contains Mandarin orange, tomato, carrot, onion and a whole lot of other natural things.

Torchbearer Chipotle Wing Sauce Wings

I’ve been contemplating how I would start this post for two days now. Not because I was searching for what to write, but because any time I started thinking about these Torchbearer Chipotle wing sauce wings I got hungry and had to go make something to eat.

We were in Gatlinburg, TN, not too long ago. I stopped in to All Sauced Up, a little gourmet grocery store (full of nice folk) on main (Parkway) street in downtown Gatlinburg. So I grabbed two bottles of wing sauce from Torchbearer Sauces, one spicy chipotle and one Buffalo wing. For one thing, I noticed was that both sauces were made from stuff I wouldn’t expect in a wing sauce, like mandarin oranges. Say what?

Well, say hello to absolutely unbelievably good. I coated these wings with Torchbearer chipotle wings sauce. Yep, it’s spicy. All in all, it’s got some of the best heat I’ve had. Not in-your-face-crying-tears-of-sadness heat, but good heat with fantastic flavor. The sauce comes out thick and sticks to your wings. Nope, it doesn’t roll off and create a sauce lake in your plate (or basket). It’s just spot-on great sauce.

Torchbearer Chipotle Wings

Spicy And Delicious

I could not get enough of these wings. Basically, I coated them first and then deep fried them. Tossed them in Torchbearer chipotle wing sauce and chowed down. So, go get you some of this sauce! You will not be sorry. At all. Oh, and the Torchbearer web site also recommends using this sauce on pork chops and in stir fry. Indeed, you don’t get that from any ole normal wing 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.

Valentina Hot Sauce Buffalo Wings

Oh boy oh boy! It’s time for some good ole wing happiness! These Valentina hot sauce Buffalo wings are soooooo good I found myself licking the sauce bowl. First, and foremost, let’s talk flavor. Valentina hot sauce is crazy yummy. It has just the right pepper taste. Heat? Yes, it has some of that too but it’s really not that hot. It’ll wake you up but it won’t hurt you. Add that sauce to a few more ingredients and make a Buffalo sauce and you’ve got magic.

Valentina Hot Sauce Buffalo Wings

Absolutely Delicious Wings

Valentina hot sauce Buffalo wings sauce has the right consistency, sticking to your wings and staying there. Just enough. And if by chance some does drip off your wings and onto your plate, you’re going to want to sop it back up. Or heck, we’re friends here. Stick your finger in it and finish it off. You really don’t want to waste any. It’s delicious!

I make a lot of Buffalo wing sauces at home. The recipe below is my my basic recipe. I substitute whichever hot sauce I am using but the rest of the ingredients stay the same. It’s a great way to really highlight a hot sauce’s taste without burying it.

Schnucks Hatch Pepper Wing Sauce 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 wing sauce wings. The last bottle of sauce in my pantry. And definitely one of the best!

Schnucks Hatch Pepper Wing Sauce 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 Wing Sauce 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.

Da Kine Hawaiian Original Dry Rub Seasoning Wings

The best things about dry wings are the super-crunchy skin and the wonderful combination of flavors. Although you can get great flavor in a wet wing, the skin doesn’t like to stay crunchy too long in the sauce. About half the wings I make are dry. Just like with wet wings, the combinations are almost endless. Today I made some Da Kine Hawaiian Original Dry Rub Seasoning wings in my air fryer. They were truly enjoyable.

Da Kine Hawaiian Original Dry Rub Seasoning Wings

Say Aloha To Greatness

Da Kine Hawaiian Original Dry Rub is a wonderful combination of saltiness along with hints of garlic, lemon pepper and coffee. Yep, coffee. It’s that essence of coffee that really adds amazing depth to these wings. I couldn’t get enough of the seasoning. I liked it so much that I seasoned my wings three times. Once before cooking. Again after cooking. And then again after plating.

You can make dry wings using any technique you like. Just grab a bottle of seasoning and got nuts with it!

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.

Nando’s Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

There are a lot of Buffalo wing sauces out there. This one’s different. These Nando’s Buffalo wing sauce 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 Wing Sauce 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 wing sauce 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.

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

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 wing sauce 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 Wing Sauce 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 wing sauce wings.

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

The Dirty Buffalo Sweet BBQ Wing Sauce 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 wing sauce 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 wing sauce 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.

If sweet (and a bit of heat) is your thing, also try my honey hot sauce wings!
