Jalapeno Buffalo Cheddar Wings Archives

Messy. Very messy. And very good. Normally, I don’t drown my wings in sauce, but this time I had no choice. There was no turning back. These jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings are so darn crazy good that I was going all-in like never before. I’m not sure why I was surprised. The sauce contains all of my favorite things. But yeah, they’re messy. And quite spicy, too. I could not stop eating them despite the mess and heat. And when I took that last bite I was sad. I really wanted more!

Worth The Mess

The sauce on these jalapeno Buffalo cheddar wings is also great on hot dogs and hamburgers. That’s a good thing since the recipe below makes more than you’ll need for a family pack of wings. I’ve found that the sauce is actually better the next day, so plan ahead and let it ‘get happy’ overnight in the fridge before using it.

You can make the sauce nice and smooth (like I did, for wings) or keep it a bit chunky for something like hot dogs or burgers. Just don’t process it as much in your blender or food processor. And remember, you can always process it more, but you can’t process it less so keep an eye on it!

Feeling Kinda Wimpy?

Hey nothing wrong with not wanting a lot of heat. There’s plenty of it in this sauce. But if you’re feeling like maybe you want a little less burn, you can substitute roasted green chiles for the jalapenos. That’s a start.

There’s not a lot you can do to cut back on the heat from the hot sauce. Why? Because it’s hot sauce. My only recommendation is to have a nice big bowl of ranch or blue cheese salad dressing nearby. I use these little condiment cups for that. They’re perfect for wing dunking!
