fruity wing sauce Archives

I checked. It’s actually legal in all 50 states to drink a wing sauce directly from the bottle. You’ll want to, too, when you get a taste of Croix Valley Pineapple Habanero wings. The fine folks at Croix Valley way out-did themselves this time, and that’s saying a lot because they make a bunch of great sauces and seasonings. Slightly sweet, with a nice slow spicy burn, this sauce reminds me a bit of a Asian chili sauce, but fruit-based instead. It’s so good I put more sauce on the side for dipping my already-sauced wings.

Pineapple Sweetness with a Bit of Heat

Croix Valley Pineapple Habanero wing sauce is delicious on a whole heck of a lot more than ‘just’ wings, too. Shrimp, grilled or deep-fried, are big winners when tossed in it. Chicken nuggets too! And the pineapple sweetness really shines on anything pork, specially grilled or smoked pork ribs. And yeah, it’s great straight out of the bottle too!

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.

See my guides for cooking your wings, and saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My Trusty Wingman

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!

If you’re looking for a tropical wing sauce that packs a nice little kick, June Moon Mango Habanero wing sauce is the right one for you. It’s a bit fruity, has just the right consistency to stick to your wings, and is flat-out yummy! I’ve had a ton of different mango wing sauces, and I’ve even made a good number of them, and none of them had such a great mango flavor as this one. These June Moon Mango Habanero wings are great!

Deliciously Fruity with a bit of Heat

I picked up a variety pack of June Moon wing sauces. This creamy mango habanero is the first one I’ve tried and I loved it. These June Moon Mango Habanero wings were a treat. The sauce has great ingredients in it (I can pronounce them all!) and it screams fresh. I cannot wait to try the remaining sauces from the fine folks at June Moon Spice Company.

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.
