Country Bob’s Hot Honey Buffalo Wings

This is not that sauce that was too spicy. And it’s not that sauce that was too sweet. This sauce is spot-on in both the heat and sweet departments. I love it. A lot. My Country Bob’s Hot Honey Buffalo wing made me happy. Super happy, in fact. There’s nothing I didn’t like about this sauce. Except that I didn’t buy enough of it. These Country Bob’s Hot Honey Buffalo wings were great!

The Bees Knees

Sometimes I run across a wing sauce that contains honey that doesn’t really do it for me. I dunno exactly what it is, but there’ll be something, a little flavor thing, with the honey that throws me off. Not with these Country Bob’s Hot Honey Buffalo wings. The flavor of honey was perfect for me. Not too strong. But noticeable. In a very good way. I thought these Country Bob’s Hot Honey Buffalo wings were spot-on great!

So just make yourself some wings and sauce them up. No need to get fancy here, unless you want to. The wings can be as simple as salt and pepper and 20ish minutes in an air fryer. Or a little more, like battered and deep-fried until golden brown. Whatever works for you. Just get some sauce and get to eatin’!

I went with my standard air-fried wings. In less that 30 minutes, I’ve got perfect 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!

Ott’s Original Wings

I love opening a bottle of wing sauce that I’ve never tried. There’s that moment of anticipation. Will I be wowed? Will I be un-wowed? Well, welcome to ‘wowed’ and then some. These Ott’s Original wings were crazy great. As soon as I opened the bottle I noticed the aroma of one of my favorite spices: celery seed. I use it often in slaws and salad dressings. But I don’t think I’ve ever found it (at least not noticeably) in a Buffalo wing sauce. This is one wonderful take on a classic sauce. Oh did I mention it has a bit of a spicy kick too? Yep, it does. Not too hot but it brings a little heat for sure. I’d call it ‘spot on’ heat.

Ott's Original Wings

Make Some Wings. Any Wings.

You can make your wings however you prefer. I decided to air fry mine. No matter which way you go, I suggest you don’t over-season your wings. Go light. Maybe just salt and pepper. At most. You don’t want something that’ll fight the sauce. These Ott’s Original wings are more about the sauce than the wing. That doesn’t mean that your wings have to be blah. Just don’t go crazy with them. The spices in this sauce are amazing and you’ll want to enjoy them.

I found this sauce at a Schnucks grocery store in Bloomington, IL. We were in town to hit a few antique stores up for finds. I always make it a point to visit the local grocery stores in search of new wing sauces and I found this one. I’m so glad I did!

Also try some Jimbo’s mild wang sauce wings.

Brrrrrrrrrr!

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.

Panola Pepper Mild Wings

Nothing makes a good Buffalo wing sauce like a good hot sauce. Those aged peppers bring a depth of flavor like nothing else can. It’s not about heat. It’s about flavor. And these Panola Pepper mild wings have the flavor. Doesn’t really matter how you cook up your wings, the sauce is the winner here. Nothing but flavor. And a little bit of heat.

Panola Pepper Mild Wings

Thin For The Win

This sauce smells amazing as soon as you open the bottle. You know you’re in for a treat right off the bat. Panola Pepper mild wings ain’t messing around. It did strike me at first that the sauce is a little thin. But as soon as I got it on my wings my worries went away. I was lost in deliciousness.

This sauce is made using milk. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that in a wing sauce. Or pretty much any bottled sauce for that matter. It’s good stuff. Maybe milk (and fantastic peppers!) is the answer!

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.

The Dirty Buffalo Extra Hot Buffalo Wings

Nowhere on the bottle did it read ‘extra creamy’. And nowhere did it read ‘extra smooth’. But it did read ‘extra hot’. And ‘extra hot’ is no lie, either. If they had room they could’ve added ‘extra tasty’. But they didn’t have room. The Dirty Buffalo knows wing sauces and these extra hot Buffalo wings are proof. They definitely pack some heat. Not crazy heat but you’re gonna feel it for sure. And flavor, too. It’s not just about fire here.

The Dirty Buffalo Extra Hot Buffalo Wings

Delicious Pain

I fried up a batch of wings my usual way. Light on the flour, light on the seasoning. Fried to crispy perfection. Then I tossed them (gently) in The Dirty Buffalo Extra hot Buffalo wing sauce. I went light on the sauce the first time. I knew I was in for some heat. And I was kinda scared. So I went easy. What I got was delicious pain. Great pain. And flavor so good I wish I’d used more sauce. These The Dirty Buffalo Extra Hot Buffalo wings are nice and hot!

So the next batch of wings I did. And those hurt too. But they sure were mighty good. Sure, I had extra Ranch nearby. Ya know, just in case.

Da Kine Hawaiian Spicy BBQ Sauce Wings

One of the smartest things I ever did was order a bunch of sauces and seasonings from Da Kine Hawaiian. In particular, I love their BBQ sauces. On wings. Yeah, they’d be great on ribs, burgers. The stuff you’d normally put BBQ sauce onto. Me, I’m all about wings. And BBQ sauce and wings are meant for each other. Especially when it’s Da Kine Hawaiian Spicy BBQ sauce wings. These are great wings. Really great. The sauce is slightly smoky. Slightly sweet. And there’s a hint of pineapple sauce. That makes this sauce so you good you’ll want to drink it out of the bottle. It’s great stuff. Get some!

The Dirty Buffalo Margarita Buffalo Wings

The fine folks over at The Dirty Buffalo come up with some mighty great wing sauces. I ordered a ton of them to enjoy at home. Unfortunately, I’m a bit far from Virginia Beach and thereabouts so I can’t just swing by one of their restaurants and grab some grub there. Sadly, this is the last bottle of sauce I had on hand. But, oh did I ever save a great one to go out on. The Dirty Buffalo Margarita Buffalo wings are different in a very good way. Kinda taco-sauce like but not like if you went to Taco Bell, grabbed a bunch of sauce packs and drizzled them over your wings. Much better than that. There’s a good hint of lime. And just a kiss of cilantro. Like taco sauce elevated. All that with a good healthy dose of spiciness.

The Dirty Buffalo Margarita Buffalo Wings

Don’t Hide The Sauce

You can make your wings however you prefer for The Dirty Buffalo Margarita Buffalo wings. I decided to air fry mine. No matter which way you go, I suggest you don’t over-season your wings. Go light. Maybe just salt and pepper. At most. You don’t want something that’ll fight this wing sauce. You want to get the true flavor that was intended by the creators. It’s true, I kept some Ranch dressing on hand but honestly, I didn’t need it. I should’ve kept it in the fridge. These wings don’t need it. The flavor and heat are spot on great. So go to The Dirty Buffalo’s site and order up some of their sauces (and seasonings). This sauce, and all the rest, do not disappoint. In fact, they amaze!

Country Bob’s Chili Lime Wings

You know that little sticker on your car mirror? “Objects in mirror are closer than they appear”? I have an equivalent for bottled wing sauces. “Sauces may be even better on wings than they seem.” I tasted this chili lime sauce right out of the bottle and thought it was pretty darned lime-y. And pretty darned chili-y too. Then I put it on some air fryer wings. And man, oh man, was it great! These Country Bob’s Chili Lime wings blew me away. The sauce is way, way better on wings than just drinking it right out of the bottle!

Country Bob's Chili Lime Wings

No Hiding

The chili and lime flavors aren’t hiding in these Country Bob’s chili and lime wings. You don’t need to go searching for them. From that first bite you’re gonna get them. Heck, you can smell them too. They’re strong, but in an oh-so-good way. This is one of those wing sauces that you just cannot stop eating. I really wish I’d made more wings. I could not get enough!

This sauce is nice and just thick enough. It has the perfect consistency for wings. Not too thin that it slides right off. And not too thick that it’s like molasses. Perfect.

Love lime flavor but want some kick? Try some Mighty Quinn’s spicy chile-lime BBQ wings.

Da Kine Hawaiian Smoky BBQ Sauce Wings

When I ordered a bunch of sauces and seasonings from Da Kine Hawaiian I seriously had no idea what I was in for. Sure, everything sounded great from the descriptions and the pictures made me drool, but would the products back it up? Well, now that I’m on my second bottle of their BBQ sauce, I can say that these guys got it going on. The first thing I made, BBQ sauce wings, were fantastic. And these Da Kine Hawaiian Smoky BBQ sauce wings are just as fantastic. Maybe more fantastic. Coffee and pineapple combine in a slightly sweet and smoky sauce that is perfect on wings. And I know it’ll be fantastic on burgers and ribs too! And more!

Da Kine Hawaiian Smoky BBQ Sauce Wings

Not That Sauce

There are tons and tons of BBQ sauces in your local grocery store. Smoky ones even. Well, this isn’t any of those. This sauce has amazing flavors. Hints of things unexpected. Delicious. And on wings? Yowsa! Da Kine Hawaiian Smoky BBQ sauce wings are something special. Just make some wings. Doesn’t really matter how you do it, and sauce them. And enjoy!

I can say without hesitation that this is my favorite bottle BBQ sauce.

Brrrrrrr

If you’re grabbing a bottle of the sauce out of the fridge (Da Kine or any other brand!), ready to sauce your wings, don’t. Don’t put that cold sauce on your hot, cooked wings. No. Set that sauce out for an hour before serving so it comes to room temperature. No hot wing deserves a cold sauce. Ever.

The Dirty Buffalo Mild Buffalo Wings

I was more than looking forward to some The Dirty Buffalo mild Buffalo wings. I ordered a big mix of sauces from the Virginia-based more-than-a-wing-joint. The first that I tried, the hot Buffalo version, was a huge win. Great flavor and heat. And I didn’t sit around counting the days until I made some wings using the mild Buffalo sauce. I counted the seconds.

The Dirty Buffalo Mild 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 from these The Dirty Buffalo mild Buffalo wings. The sauce is the winner here. A big winner. There’s no real heat here, so it’s all about flavor. Like it should be. Your it’s-too-spicy friends will thank you for these wings again and again so invite them over for a batch!

Great Flavor.

The flavor is perfect in this sauce. This is easily one of the best low-heat Buffalo wing sauces I’ve had. It has traditional flavor and the perfect consistency. I loved it. This is one great second stop on my journey through the sauces from The Dirty Buffalo.

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.

For the Wings

  • Combine the flour, salt, cayenne and paprika in a large bowl.
  • Rinse the wings. Drain well but do not dry the wings.
  • Add the wings to the flour mixture and turn to coat well. Transfer to a plate and place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • 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.
  • Transfer wings to a large bowl. Drizzle with the sauce and toss gently to coat. Serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

If you prefer to air fry your wings, use my extra-crispy air fryer wing recipe to cook the wings then sauce with the Dirty Buffalo sauce when done.
If you prefer to bake your wings, use my oven-baked wing recipe and substitute the Dirty Buffalo sauce for the sauce in the recipe.

The Dirty Buffalo Spicy Garlic Ranch Wings

I enjoy a great plate of wings. Who doesn’t? The kind where I take a bite and just say “Oh that’s good.”. No analysis. No checklist. Just enjoy the moment. That’s what I did with these The Dirty Buffalo Spicy Garlic Ranch wings. Instead of trying to describe the sauce right off the bat, I just enjoyed my lunch. And boy did I. You know you’ve had great wings when your thought after the last bite is “I can’t wait to have those again.”.

It’s About The Sauce

I didn’t make any fancy fru-fru wings. Just some simple air fryer wings. I had tunnel vision. I wanted to get to that sauce! The Dirty Buffalo spicy garlic Ranch wings more than hit the spot. They were nicely spicy. They have a great kick to them. Not overwhelmingly so, but very enjoyable. The sauce is like a Buffalo Ranch sauce. Kind of a creamy Buffalo sauce really. All with a hint of garlic. Not a ‘ward off the vampires’ amount of garlic. Just right.

I’d eat wings tossed in this sauce all day long. Sometimes I use a lot of sauce. Some times I use less. Either way, they’re fantastic!

Brrrrrrrrrrr!

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.

Instructions

  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!).
  • Cook wings for 12 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and cook another 12 minutes.

  • Remove wings from the bowl and serve immediately.

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.
