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.

Also try my chili maple wings!

Cholula Caliente Wings

These Cholula Caliente 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 wings 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.

You’ll also want to make some Cholula Mexicali wings!
