Welcome to one of my all-time favorite homemade wing sauces. Easy as heck to make. Delicious as can be. These sweet and tangy Heinz 57 wings were beyond finger-licking good. They were plate-licking good. I’d make these again in a heartbeat. A little tangy. A little sweet. They hit the spot!
I made a batch of simple deep-fried wings to go with this sauce. But really, any wings will do. The coating is not thick. But it does give the wings a nice little crunch. And a little something for the sauce to cling to. Air-fried wings would’ve been just as great. Baked would’ve been fine too. It really doesn’t matter. Just don’t season your wings with much more than something like salt and pepper. You do not want something on the wings that ends up ‘fighting’ the sauce. This is it’s moment. Let it shine!
A Sauce For The Entire Family
I do sometimes post some fairly spicy homemade wing sauces here on For The Wing. This isn’t one of them. I think these sweet and tangy Heinz 57 wings would be great to serve at a party or picnic or family get-together. No one’s gonna scream that they are spicy. But they will tell you they loved them. They’ll definitely ask you what’s in it. You can tell them or keep it a secret. A little wing sauce mystery can be a good thing! “It’s my special ingredient!”
But…. You could kick them up a bit if you want. They are on the sweet side. A bit. And just barely tangy. No reason you couldn’t sneak a little hot sauce in there. Maybe make a special batch for yourself and your heat-loving friends.
