De La Viuda Hot Sauce Wings

It’s not that complicated. Delicious hot sauces make for delicious wings. Nothing was complicated about these De La Viuda hot sauce wings. But they sure were delicious. The sauce is the real winner here. It is easily one of the best-tasting hot sauces I’ve had. A tremendous combination of peppers, it brings a little heat, but not so much that it’s overwhelming. I don’t like sauces that are so hot that I miss the flavor. This was spot-on great.

De La Viuda Hot Sauce Wings

Have It Your Way. You Rule.

You can cook up your wings any way you want. I went with my simple deep-fried wings. Just flour and a little seasoning. I didn’t want to over-power the sauce so I kept the seasoning ‘tame’. I mixed the hot sauce with a little butter (I went with the medium heat version) and let it get all warm and cozy in a saucepan while the wings cooked. Everything came together in a delicious wing-after-wing experience. I can’t wait to make more De La Viuda hot sauce wings!

Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana Hot Sauce Wings

I love it when I find a new hot sauce that’s just a bit different than the rest. I crave flavor in my hot sauce, and not just heat. And I love making any hot sauce into a sauce for wings. These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings are delicious with just the right heat level for me. Not overly hot, and not boring, either. These are fingerlickingly-good wings!

Kinder's Creamy Louisiana Hot Wings

Make Wings. Make Sauce. And Make Yourself Happy.

This wasn’t complicated. I threw some wings into the air fryer. Or the deep-fryer. I don’t remember. It’s not really about that. I just needed some cooked-up wings. Meanwhile I made the sauce. Two ingredients. That’s it. I went for a hotter sauce, but as you can see in the recipe below, you can adjust the heat by changing the ratio of butter to hot sauce. I tossed the wings in the sauce, sat down, and got to eatin’. And I was happy. Very happy. That’s wing success right there! These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings did not disappoint!

Arbol Chili and Garlic Wings

Oh man. My goodness. You talk about great tasting wings. These arbol chili and garlic wings were different and very, very tasty. The sauce is a wonderful blend of chiles, garlic and just enough jalapeno to give it a mild kick. A great kick. And oh such a great flavor. Southwestern-inspired, I would almost call this sauce an enchilada or taco sauce. And it’s fantastic on wings.

Perfect Heat

I mix the sauce with a little butter. Honestly, though, you can just drizzle it on your wings directly without it. Arbol chili and garlic wings are great either way. If it’s your first time making them I’d suggest you start out slow. Try the sauce right out of the bottle. Then try it with a little melted butter. See what you think. I like the taste of butter and a great hot sauce. You might want more hot sauce. Or more butter. Either way, you’ll end up with great wings in the end.

This is another great sauce from the fine folks over at the Bravado Spice Company.

Cholula Caliente Wing Sauce Wings

These Cholula Caliente wing sauce wings are something special. Traditional Buffalo wing sauce needed a south-of-the-border twist, and this is it. Nicely spicy, it has a great combination of peppers that make for one of the best tasting sauces I’ve had. If you’re a fan of Cholula’s hot sauce, you’ll be an even bigger fan of this wing sauce.

Cholula Caliente Wings

A Great Tasting Sauce

It’d be an understatement to say I’m a big lover of Cholula’s Caliente wing sauce. Ditto their other wing sauce that I’ve tried, Cholula Mexicali. And like any Cholula sauce, wing or hot, it’s good on just about anything. Like nachos. Or tacos. You name it. I don’t use it sparingly, I load up and then I add some more. No such thing as too much of this sauce.

And, according to my wife, the bottle is pretty.

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.
