Cajun Honey Lime Wings

There’s wing sauce and there’s WING sauce. The Cajun honey lime sauce on these wings was so good that I’ll be using it on a lot more than ‘just’ wings. A little spice, a little sweet, and a little citrus, all in a thick but not gooey sauce that doesn’t just flow off your wings into the bottom of the basket. Finger-licking good, that’s for sure.

A Wonderful Citrus Flavor

I used a fairly tame and not overpowering BBQ sauce when I made these Cajun honey lime wings. The flavors could easily be drowned out by an overly sweet smoky BBQ sauce. Just grab your run-of-the-mill regular ole BBQ sauce. Nothing fancy.

To keep things kinda Cajun-y, I used Crystal Hot Sauce. Man that stuff is so good!

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!

Cajun Bay Wings

A few weeks ago I made a beer-can chicken recipe that used a 50/50 combination of Cajun seasoning and Old Bay seasoning. I instantly fell in love with the combination. A little heat, a little sweet, cloves, allspice, paprika… just about all you could imagine. I knew right then and there that I wanted to use the same mix on chicken wings. And so my Cajun Bay chicken wings were born. And oh how good they were. I served them dry, not sauced. Just that great combination of Cajun and Old Bay seasonings, with a little Ranch dressing on the side for dipping. The flavor combination was fantastic, and one you will see here again soon.

One Deliciously Different Wing

Once the wings are cooked, you can dust them with more of the Cajun and Old Bay mix if you want even more pronounced flavors. I skipped it since my wife isn’t quite the fan of Old Bay as I am. She doesn’t like cloves or allspice so much. That’s one nice thing about this mix. You still get those flavors, but they are toned down a bit because of the addition of the Cajun seasoning.

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.

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.

Bloody Mary Wings

Sometimes a wing sauce is sooooo good you have to decide between using it on your wings or just drinking it straight up. Now, I didn’t use vodka or any other booze in this sauce, and honestly, it doesn’t need it. You get great Bloody Mary flavors with a hint of Buffalo sauce kick. It’s crazy good, and perhaps the best scratch-made wing sauce I’ve ever had.

If you prefer to add booze just put a splash or two of Vodka in the wing sauce. Or, if you prefer your wings ‘dry’, skip the sauce. The wings are absolutely divine seasoned with just the Bloody Mary seasoning mix, just add a few more pinches to the wings after they are cooked and toss.

A Different Kind of Wing

The idea for Bloody Mary wings hit me after making a batch of Bloody Mary glass rim seasoning. After tasting it I knew instantly that I needed to use it on wings. For the sauce you make your pretty standard Buffalo wing sauce with the addition of Bloody Mary seasoning and mix.

Angry Wings

I was big time happy with these angry chicken wings. ‘Angry’ because they pack a little kick, but not so much that your mouth is on fire. A very nice kick. This was my first time cooking with gochujang chile paste, and I really loved it. It’s sort of savory, sort of sweet, and sort of spicy. It contains fermented soybeans but the flavor isn’t overwhelming. A little gochujang does go a long ways, but it sure makes for one fantastic wing sauce.

Spread The Angry Around

The angry chicken wing sauce would also be good on grilled pork chops or grilled ground chicken or turkey burgers. Just dab a little on top before you dig in. If you make the sauce ahead of time and keep it in the fridge, it might thicken up a bit. Just add a few drops of water and stir to get the desired consistency.

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!

Ancho Peach Wings

I was sad. Sad because I definitely did not make enough wings. Tossed with ancho peach sauce, these wings were so good it would be almost impossible to eat too many. Slightly smoky. Slightly sweet. And a little heat. And the perfect consistency to stick to the wings and not to the bottom of the plate. Grab some napkins and get ready… there’s nothing but great stuff here!

Try different preserves

Apricot preserves also make for a great ancho wing sauce, so feel free to mix things up a bit. I strongly recommend doubling the sauce. Any leftover can be used on grilled chicken, smoked ribs, pulled pork, you name it. It’s just all-around great and not just on ancho peach wings.

Aji Amarillo Wings

Aji amarillo is an orange-colored pepper from Peru. I haven’t been able to find it in the US in pepper-form, but you can find a paste made from pureed aji peppers in some foreign food markets. Aji amarillo rates between 35,000 and 50,000 on the Scoville scale, meaning it’s about as hot as Tabasco sauce. It has a nice fruity flavor that reminds me a bit of habanero, but without the scorching heat. I encountered aji amarillo often in dishes throughout Peru when I lived there long, long ago.

Aji pepper flavor

Since I love chicken wings, I decided to cook up a batch and instead of saucing them with just a traditional Buffalo sauce, I made a variation that adds aji amarillo paste. The end result was just a bit spicy, with a fantastic fruity pepper flavor.

Kick it up!

These were fantastic wings, and definitely a nice twist on the usual. If you like your wings to be a bit spicier, just add more of the aji amarillo paste. Since it’s not overwhelmingly hot you don’t have to worry about a-little-goes-a-long-ways: you can add quite a bit and still get great flavor without burning the roof of your mouth.

Adobo Buffalo Wings

Nothing makes me happier than discovering a wing sauce that can be used on much more than ‘just’ wings. The sauce on these adobo Buffalo wings packs some mild heat, just enough and just right. There’s a little sweetness, a little smokiness, and my favorite, a hint of soy sauce. Each bite is a wonderful combination of flavors.

One great sauce!

The sauce on these adobo Buffalo wings is thick, thick enough for sticking to smoked or grill ribs, chicken, burgers… you name it. I’d definitely recommend doubling the sauce.

Kick it up a bit!

For a little more kick add more adobo, cayenne or red chili flakes. You can also substitute hot sauce for the Buffalo wing sauce, but the Buffalo sauce does add that nice traditional wing flavor.

Wing Master Garlic Parmesan Wing Sauce Wings

Whenever my wife and I are in the Gatlinburg, Tennessee, area we always make it a point to swing by a Pepper Palace store. They have several stores in the area, including a new one in Sevierville in an area called The Island. The store, as always, was busy, with people everywhere enjoying samples of the hot sauces and salsas, from the hot to the mild. Me, I headed straight to the wing sauces and in particular, Pepper Palace’s own line of Wing Master sauces, including this Garlic Parmesan wing sauce.

I couldn’t wait!

As soon as we returned from our trip I threw a few seasoned wings onto my Weber Performer grill outfitted with the Vortex insert. When the wings were done I tossed them with the Garlic Parmesan wing sauce and dug in. The sauce is mellow, cheesy, and definitely garlicky. Not overwhelmingly garlicky, but really good. Yes, there’s a slight wing sauce kick, but again, not overwhelming. It’s a very enjoyable sauce, and a favorite around our house. Furthermore, I definitely wish that I’d picked up a few more bottles!

Get to a Pepper Palace now!

Pepper Palace has a wide range of sauces, from the extremely hot to the nice and mellow. The Garlic Parmesan wing sauce is nice and mellow with not a lot of heat. I seasoned the wings with your standard Ranch dressing seasoning mix, which complemented the sauce flavors perfectly.

Pepper Palace makes a ton of great sauces and seasonings, not just for wings. Find a store near you and spend an hour or two wandering the shelves. They always have an area where you can sample sauces and spices, too. It’s like flavor heaven. Instead, if there’s not one near you, take a road trip (it’ll be worth it) or order online.

Buffalo Sauce-Injected Wings

Oh how many thousands of wings have I eaten? I sure do love my wings. But you know, maybe a little something was missing. Once you get inside the wing, well, there’s just chicken. Good tasty moist chicken, sure. But no sauce. What if instead of tossing my wings with sauce I injected them with it instead? So I did. Buffalo sauce-injected wings are crazy good and fantastically different. Crispy skin on the outside with a burst of wing sauce in the middle. No lame wings here.

Different. And Cool.

I really enjoyed these Buffalo-sauce injected wings. It’s like I get the best of all the tastes. I get to enjoy my wing seasoning. None of it is diluted after the wing has been covered in sauce. And I get my wing sauce, and lots of it. I didn’t end up with a lake of sauce at the bottom of my plate. It was definitely a chicken wing win, and a real attention-getter at a party.

Of course, you don’t have to use just Buffalo wing sauce like I did. Any wing sauce will work, but you’ll want to try and use ones that are thin enough to make it through your injector. And don’t skimp on the injector either.
