Four Sixes Top Hand Hickory BBQ Wings

If you watch the TV series Yellowstone you’ve heard of Four Sixes. Now the famous Texas ranch has put out a line of BBQ sauces and seasonings and all sorts of stuff. Me, I got wings on my mind and not horses, so I grabbed a bottle of all of their sauces at my local grocery store and got to making me some hand-held grub. These Four Sixes Top Hand Hickory BBQ wings hit the spot. Heck, I even thought for a moment there I was gathered around the chuck wagon on a hot Texas evening after a long day of cow herdin’. Good ole BBQ flavor. Lightly smoky. Lightly sweet. And just darned good.

Four Sixes Top Hand Hickory BBQ Wings

Get To Saucin’

I gotta admit, I’m not into lightly saucing my wings when it comes to BBQ sauce. Specially when it’s as good as this sauce is. So I cook up my wings. However I want. Sometimes it’s over an open fire like cowboys would. Or in an air fryer, like no cowboy would. Then I toss or brush them with sauce. Lots of sauce. I like my Four Sixes Top Hand Hickory BBQ wings saucy!

Ranch on the Ranch

I kinda get the feelin’ that cowboys don’t carry around bottles of Ranch dressing while they’re working the herds. But I gotta have Ranch with my BBQ wings. I love that combination of cool Ranch and sweet bold BBQ. So if I was a cowboy, I’d hide a bottle under my saddle. Well, maybe not. Nobody likes hot Ranch.

Also try you some Four Sixes Straight Sixes Spicy BBQ wings, pardner!

Hoosier Daddy Smokehouse Hickory with Lime BBQ Wings

Oh, I already knew about BBQ sauced-wings. Trust me. But what I didn’t know is that I needed a hint of lime in my BBQ sauce. I had no idea. But oh does it make a difference. Just enough to offset the sweetness. You still get a wonderfully smoky, just-the-right-thickness sauce. But with something special. A wonderful twist. I could eat these Hoosier Daddy Smokehouse Hickory with lime BBQ wings all day long. They are finger-licking good. This sauce is amazing.

Hoosier Daddy Smokehouse Hickory with Lime BBQ Wings

A Dream-Worthy Sauce

I cannot wait to make some more Hoosier Daddy Smokehouse Hickory with lime BBQ wings. But I also can’t wait to use the same sauce on some of my other favorites. Like smoked ribs! Or pulled pork. And I know this sauce will be amazing on rib tips or burnt ends. And you know what? You don’t have to get all BBQ-y with it to enjoy it. Slather some on grilled hot dogs or burgers too! Ditch the ketchup, this is better!

Available Online and in Stores

I’m lucky enough to be able to get all of the Hoosier Daddy BBQ sauces at our local grocery store. Tremendous on anything grilled or smoked, the sauces take wings to an all-new place too. Whether they are deep-fried, baked, grilled or roasted, you’re in for a treat. You can always order their sauces online directly from Hoosier BBQ or from Amazon too.

Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Smokin’ Hickory BBQ Wings

You cannot go wrong with a good ole BBQ sauce and wings. Sure, I’ll take Buffalo wings any time, anywhere. But every once in a while I like that backyard-BBQ-inspired flavor on my wings. A little smoky flavor. A little sweetness. Slightly tangy. This time I grabbed a bottle of sauce with Guy Fieri’s face on it. Now, usually celebrity-chef sauces don’t impress me much. But this one did. Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Smokin’ Hickory BBQ wings were fantastic thanks to this sauce.

Guy Fieri's Flavortown Smokin' Hickory BBQ Wings

Nice Everything.

Not too sweet. Not too thick. Not too smoky. Not too thin. Not too anything. This sauce is spot-on great. These wings were finger-lickingly delicious. And darn right, this sauce is great on anything BBQ too. Squeeze some on your ribs next time. Or nachos. And yes, a baked potato. Anything that needs a sauce, BBQ sauce is gonna work on it. Specially this one.

Also try some Hoosier Daddy Ghost Roast BBQ Wings! They’re BBQ wings with a kick!

Kinder’s Honey Hot BBQ Wings

Maybe you’ve heard of ‘sweet heat’ and just aren’t sure what that is. Or maybe you have heard of it, love it, and are craving more of it. Either way, Kinder’s Honey Hot BBQ wings are here to do one thing and that’s make you happy. The honey brings that wonderful natural sweetness. A little jalapeno brings just a kiss of spiciness. A hint of smoke all in a tomato-based sauce makes you think ‘backyard BBQ’. This is a great BBQ sauce that’s even better on wings.

Kinder's Honey Hot BBQ Wings

Stir it Up

Sometimes I toss my Kinder’s Honey Hot BBQ wings in sauce. Sometimes I serve the sauce on the side (I like it warmed just slightly). But one thing I don’t do is toss battered deep-fried wings in sauce. I don’t want to loose that wonderful crusty coating. So if I’m serving deep-fried wings I either serve the sauce separately or I stir the wings gently after drizzling them with sauce using a rubber spatula.

Four Sixes Straight Sixes Spicy BBQ Wings

My squeeze bottle of this sauce didn’t last long at all. Not only were these Four Sixes Straight Sixes Spicy BBQ wings fantastic, but the sauce also found its way onto some pulled pork sandwiches and baked potatoes. And some grilled chicken thigh sandwiches. This sauce is great all-around, but absolutely fantastic on wings. It’s what I call a “not overly” BBQ sauce. It’s not overly spicy. It’s not overly sweet. Or overly thick. It’s just spot-on in every category.

Four Sixes Straight Sixes Spicy BBQ Wings

Squeeze Away

I found myself craving more of these Four Sixes Straight Sixes Spicy BBQ wings not minutes after finishing them. They are the perfect balance of vinegar, sweet molasses and just a hint of heat. And I liked the slightly smoky flavor. All in a great stick-to-your wings consistency. I was glad I found a bottle of this sauce at my local grocery store. Now I have to go back and get more!

Lillie’s Q BBQ Aioli Wings

Yee-yowsa! You’re talking about some great wings here. I devoured my plate of Lillie’s Q BBQ aioli wings. Boy I really wish I’d made more. This BBQ and mustard sauce hit the spot for me. It’s a creamy sauce. Not one of them traditional vinegary ones. It’s a wonderful mayonnaise concoction. A combination of a lightly smoky BBQ sauce and mustard. But not too much of either. You know how mustard can get .. … too mustardy? Well not here. It’s perfect. I could just pour this sauce in a bowl and grab a spoon it’s just that good.

Lillie's Q BBQ Aioli Wings

Tender Sauce

I know the bottle says ‘tender sauce’. But when I hear chicken tenders, I think chicken wings instead. Good call on my part because tossing some hot wings in this sauce was brilliant. If you’re looking for something different, something creamy, make some Lillie’s Q BBQ aioli wings. But make sure you make plenty of them, because they’ll disappear like that!

Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle BBQ Wings

I’d been on a sweet wing sauce kick. I needed something to bring me out of that. Something to wake me up. Something to wake up my taste buds. Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle BBQ wings did just that. Right up front, I got the tartness of black cherries. No mistaking that taste, that’s for sure. There are hints of smoke and heat, coming from wonderful chipotles. I’m a big fan of chipotles, they add so much to any sauce they are used in. This is a great sauce. It’s different and it’s fantastic on wings.

Kinder's Black Cherry Chipotle BBQ Wings

A Quality Tasty Sauce

Kinder’s sauces and seasonings are the real deal. These Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle BBQ wings are proof of that. Not only is the flavor spot-on, the consistency is perfect for wings, and anything else for that matter. This would make the perfect sauce on grilled ribs for sure. Black cherry and pork go together well. And now, black cherry goes well with wings too!

Air Fryer Buc-ee’s Barbecue Wings

It was crazy!

I’ve been to two different Buc-ee’s. Both times the experience was almost surreal. The shear number of people almost overwhelmed me. There was merchandise everywhere. There were packaged snacks and fountain drinks everywhere. More importantly, there was food everywhere. Good looking, just-made great smelling food.

The brisket station

I flowed through the crowd and went to my destination: the brisket sandwich station. I’d heard stories, I’d read the rumors. They chop the brisket right out of the smoker (after yelling ‘brisket is on the table!’) and sauce it with Buc-ee’s barbecue sauce. I gotta tell ya, it was one good sandwich. I immediately grabbed a bottle of the sauce and knew what I was making when I got back home: air fryer Buc-ee’s barbecue wings.

Air Fryer Buc-ee's Barbecue Wings

Just right!

These air fryer Buc-ee’s barbecue wings were fantastic. The sauce has just the right consistency for wings. Not too thick and not too thin. Perfect for sticking to my wings. It’s lightly sweet but definitely not overly so. There’s a light hint of smokiness, a little hickory to give it that traditional ketchup-based BBQ sauce flavor. These wings are finger-licking good and then some. And easy to make to boot!

To find a bottle of the sauce visit your nearest Buc-ee’s. And take my advice. Pick up a bunch of it, it’s great on anything BBQ’d!

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.
  • Remove wings from fryer and place in a bowl. Toss with the sauce. Click here for our guide on how to sauce wings.
  • Remove wings from the bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

Note: If your barbecue 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.

Fricker’s BBQ Wings

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 wings.

Fricker's BBQ Wings

Not Just A BBQ Wing Sauce

Fricker’s BBQ 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!

June Moon Sweet-n-Spicy Wings

June Moon Sweet-n-Spicy wings are a little different. In a good way, too. The sauce is a little bit tomato-BBQ-sauce-like. A little sweet with a little tang, a little kick, that makes it different. It’s not thick or too thin. This is a good sauce that you can serve to your friends without worrying about scorching their tongues or making their taste buds fall asleep.

Not Too Sweet and Not Too Spicy

If I am serving my wings with Ranch or blue cheese or some other sauce, I use these little sauce dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables. And they’re easy to clean, too!
