Roasted Green Chile Wings

One of the things I love about being addicted to cooking and eating chicken wings is that 99 times out of 100, every new recipe I try is just absolutely fantastic. I dream about chicken wings. A lot. And these roasted green chile wings, well, they were crazy good and certainly dream-worthy. I love chile peppers for the pepper flavor. And although I also love spicy, my number one love is that great pepper flavor, and the roasted green chile jelly from Albukirky Seasonings brings that and then some without scary spiciness.

Roasted Green Chile Wings

Great Rubs… And Sauces, Too!

The Albukirky Seasonings green chile BBQ rub (and also the red chile BBQ rub) has quickly become my go-to wing rub. It’s just perfect on wings (and other things, too, but I really, really enjoy it on wings). Combined with the green chile jelly, the roasted green chile wings made for a lunch that I won’t soon forget.

Cajun Power Garlic Sauce Wings

I’ve been a huge fan of Cajun Power Garlic Sauce for years. I seriously don’t know why I waited so long to use it as both a chicken wing marinade and sauce. I loved these Cajun Power Garlic Sauce wings. Seasoned perfectly. A little garlicky. Nice and rich and super yummy.

Cajun Power Garlic Sauce Wings

More Sauce is More Better

I loved these Cajun Power Garlic Sauce wings. But guess what? Cajun Power also makes Cajun Power Spicy Garlic Sauce. Perfect for your friends (like me) that prefer their wings nice and hot! It’s not crazy spicy, but it packs a nice heat.

You can’t put enough Cajun Power Garlic Sauce on your cooked wings. I’ve tried and it’s not possible. It’s also great for dipping wings instead of your usual cooling dips like blue cheese or ranch dressing.

If you like some extra sauce on the side for dipping your wings, these little cups are the perfect size.

Also try my chili garlic wings. They’re delicious too!

Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ Wing Sauce Wings

Sometimes BBQ-flavored wing sauces are too sweet for me. Or too BBQ-y. Not Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ wing sauce. I thought that this sauce was a spot-on BBQ sauce. Not only great on wings, either. I’d put this sauce on burgers, ribs, smoked chicken and even my crazy yummy pulled pork.

Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ Wings

Outdoor BBQ Flavor on Wings

One of the nice things about Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ wing sauce, besides the great taste, is the consistency. This sauce isn’t too thin, so you don’t have to worry about it running off your wings or whatever you have it slathered on. No one wants a sauce lake on their plate. And it’s not too thick. No one wants gloppy sauce that can also be used as spackle. Nope, this sauce is just right.

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.

Buffalo Ranch Dry Wings

I was perusing the spice section at our local GFS store when I spied a big container of Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning. Yeah, like I’d pass up on anything wing-related. I grabbed a bottle and stopped by my grocery store and picked up a family pack of fresh chicken wings. I was going to make wings. Great wings. Buffalo Ranch dry wings.

Buffalo Ranch Dry Wings

Dry is Good

Dry wings really bring out the flavor of the wing and the seasoning. They aren’t buried in sauce so much that its all you can taste. Now that doesn’t mean I’m shy with the seasoning, but I am careful that I can still taste the chicken. These wings are absolutely fantastic, with that traditional Buffalo wing flavor, but without the mess. If you don’t have a GFS in your area you can find other brands of Buffalo style seasoning in your grocer’s spice section.

I like to make my spice, rub and seasoning mixes in big batches and keep them in large bottles with easy-to-pour shaker lids.

Also try my crazy-good blackened dry wings.

BBQ Ranch Wings

I have been enjoying the heck out of the flavors of wing sauces I picked up from Alliger’s House of Wings. Each and every one has been fantastic. Another cool thing about House of Wings is that on their website they have recipes for using their sauces and a few other simple ingredients to create all-new flavors. Like these BBQ Ranch wings. They’re crazy easy and crazy delicious. There’s nothing fancy going on here, just a great wing sauce. The kind you cannot stop eating.

BBQ Ranch Wings

The Perfect Taste Combination

These BBQ Ranch wings have just the right amount of Buffalo wing flavor, with a hint of barbecue sauce. The Ranch dressing adds a nice creaminess and coolness to the wings. This is a great way to serve wings at a party. No need for that bowl of Ranch for dipping your wings. They’ve already been dipped for you!

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

I’ve been using Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce for years. It’s a great sauce as-is, but it also makes for a good starter for making my own BBQ sauce. But until now I’d never tried their Buffalo wing sauce. For some reason, I needed a coupon to get me off my butt and to the grocery store to pick up a bottle. Well, boy am I sorry for having waited so long to try it. This sauce makes for the perfect Buffalo wings. It is exactly what I was looking for when I made a quick batch of air fryer wings for lunch the other day. The right consistency, the right amount of spice, it’s spot-on good.

Sweet Baby Ray's Buffalo Wings

It’s Got A Good Kick.

I’ve read a few reviews of Sweet Baby Ray’s Buffalo wing sauce that say it’s too spicy. Well, yeah, each of us has a different definition of what’s spicy, but I definitely found this to be just right. It has a bit of kick. Hey, it’s a Buffalo wing sauce. It contains cayenne pepper. It’s gonna have some heat. But for me, it’s definitely not over the top.

Don’t wait around for a coupon to pick up a bottle of this sauce. Learn from my mistakes!

Meijer Sweet Chili Wing Sauce Wings

“Blown away” were the first words that crossed my mind when I took my first bite of chicken wings (cooked using a Vortex) tossed in Meijer’s Sweet Chili wing sauce. With no artificial flavors, I found the sauce to be nothing but pure goodness.

The sauce has a nice heat level, not too much and not too little. A little sweetness and the perfect consistency. Not too gloppy, but perfect for sticking to wings and your fingers. Better than many top shelf wing sauces and a whole lot cheaper.

Meijer Sweet Chili Wings

My Wife Likes It. That Says A Lot.

My wife’s favorite eat-out wings are the Thai’R Cracker wings from Quaker Steak and Lube. She said that the Meijer sweet chili wing sauce is at least as good and maybe a bit better. That’s saying a lot.

Also try some Meijer bourbon honey mustard wing sauce wings. Trust me, they’re great too!

Stubb’s Black Pepper Anytime Sauce Wings

I really love ‘dry’ chicken wings. By dry I mean not pre-sauced. Not ewwwy dry. Good dry. And they don’t have to be complicated either. Like these black pepper wings. Salt. Pepper. Wings. Well, ok, I did have a dipping sauce, but it’s the fantastic out-of-the-bottle Stubb’s Sweet Black Pepper Anytime sauce, which is also great as a marinade.

Stubb's Black Pepper Wings

More Pepper Is More Better

You don’t want to be shy with the black pepper on these wings. You want that pepper kick, and even a bit of pepper heat, to come through in every bite. Stubb’s makes a variety of sauces and they’re all great on wings, even if they don’t say ‘wing sauce’ on the bottles. You’ll enjoy the intense pepperiness of these Stubb’s black pepper wings!

Also try Stubb’s Texas Sriracha sauce wings and their Wicked Habanero Pepper sauce wings.

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.

Quaker Steak and Lube Smoked Jalapeno Honey Wing Sauce Wings

I love to make my own wing sauces, but I have to admit, I’m a sucker for bottled sauces too. Specially when they’re as good as the Smoked Jalapeno Honey wing sauce from Quaker Steak and Lube. My wife and I had lunch at a Quaker Steak and Lube on the north side of Cincinnati.

I enjoyed a big ole helping of their fantastic wings tossed in just the right amount of Smoked Jalapeno Honey sauce. And yes, after one bite I decided I was going home with a bottle of the sauce for my homemade wings. Just the right amount of heat and sweet, with a little light smokiness, this sauce is very tasty and not spicy enough to scare off your I-don’t-like-spicy friends.

Quaker Steak and Lube Smoked Jalapeno Honey Wings

A Pantry Full Of Wing Sauces

I would say that I on occasion have a good number of wing sauce bottles on hand. That used to worry me, but honestly, I eat wings so often that they don’t last very long at all. Especially when they are as good as the Smoked Jalapeno Honey wing sauce from Quaker Steak and Lube. I wish they had a restaurant here in Indy. I do love their wings (though they certainly serve a lot more than wings).

Quaker Steak and Lube Golden Garlic Wing Sauce Wings

I picked up a few bottles of Quaker Steak and Lube wing sauces the last time we were at Jungle Jim’s in Cincinnati, including their Golden Garlic wing sauce. The Quaker Steak and Lube Golden Garlic Sauce is the star of this show but don’t skimp on the wings either.

I really like the Quaker Steak and Lube Golden Garlic wing sauce. It is definitely garlicky. You won’t bite into a wing and think to yourself “I thought this was supposed to have garlic in it.” It brings the garlic. Look at the picture above. You can see how the Golden Garlic stacks up heat-wise to the other yummy Quaker Steak & Lube sauces here.

Quaker Steak and Lube Golden Garlic Wings

Good Sauce at a Good Price

At $5-$6, the sauce was not over-priced. You don’t need a lot of sauce. And the sauce sticks to the wings. Not gloppy, molasses sticky, but just sticky enough to not run off and form a puddle. I liked that. A lot.

Also try the Louisiana Licker’s wing sauce wings from Quaker Steak ‘N Lube!
