Wing It Honey BBQ Wings

Just think. One day, perhaps not too long ago, someone at Wing It woke to what was probably a day like every other. Except it wasn’t. That day, one of the best BBQ-inspired wing sauces would be created. It was to be a special day. And in my opinion, a day worthy of being considered a national holiday. Wing It Honey BBQ wing sauce is everything you could hope for, dream for, yearn for, in a lightly smoky, sweet, tomato-based sauce. It’s not shy about being thick. It’s not shy about being sweet, either. This sauce means business. This is easily one of my favorite sauces of all time.

Wing It Honey BBQ Wings

Could This Be The Perfect Sweet Sauce?

I absolutely cannot get enough Wing It Honey BBQ wings. Yeah, I could put this sauce on just about anything hot off the grill. Like burgers, or split chicken breasts, ribs, brisket and even pulled pork. But boy oh boy do I ever enjoy the heck out of it on my wings.

Brrrrrrrrr!

Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that times getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.

So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.

Guy Fieri’s Buffalo NY Wings

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but when I see a celebrity’s face on a bottle of wing sauce, or on a package of frozen food, on a restaurant, or on a seasoning shaker, I think I’m in for disappointment. Usually the flavor doesn’t match the hype. Well, color me wrong on this one because Guy Fieri’s Buffalo NY wing sauces more than hit the spot for me. I could not get enough of wings tossed in this sauce. I thought that it’s more than a great version of traditional Buffalo wing sauce, it raises the bar! Get you some sauce and make some Guy Fieri’s Buffalo NY wings now!

A Better Buffalo-Style Sauce

Guy Fieri’s Buffalo NY wing sauce is going to pass the scrutiny of any hard-core wing aficionado in my opinion. It has the right consistency, the right heat level (medium at most) and definitely the right flavor. The ingredients list reads like many Buffalo wing sauce bottles do. But the combination of them is perfect. I’m impressed. These Guy Fieri’s Buffalo NY wings are great!

Hooters Hot Buffalo Wings (Copycat Recipe)

It’s hard to beat Hooters for good ole hot wings. Buffalo wings. The real deal. If you don’t have a restaurant nearby you have three options. One, move. Two, order some of their breading and sauces online and make the original yourself. Or three, make this copycat recipe of Hooters hot buffalo Wings from scratch. Any option will do, but I have to admit that these wings came out spot-on like what I’ve had at the restaurant. They’re hot but not crazy hot. They’re breaded perfectly. They have a great crunch to them. They taste wonderful and they disappear in no time. For me, that’s the sign of darned good wings.

Hooters Hot Buffalo Wings (Copycat Recipe)

Great Heat and Great Flavor

I wouldn’t do anything different about these copycat recipe Hooters hot Buffalo wings. Except maybe more of them, more often. You can tone down the heat but leaving out the cayenne and make a medium version of these wings, but then they wouldn’t be hot wings! Doh!

Hooters is where my love of wings began. My first Hooters restaurant was the original outside of Tampa, Florida, in Clearwater. I was working in Tampa but had a hotel in Clearwater. I drove by (and stopped at) the Hooters every day when I got off work. My only regret is that I didn’t work there longer!

If it’s just me or the two of us, I’ll use my lil ole trusty Fry Daddy fryer to make these wings. I can fit a good 8 pieces in without any fear of over-crowding. As an added bonus, it doesn’t use much oil and it is super easy to clean up. It sure makes deep frying a breeze.

Big Game Hot Wings

These Big Game hot wings were some of the best, if not the best, homemade wings I’ve had. The sauce really hit the spot for me. It’s the perfect combination of a little sweet and a little heat, with a little vinegar and mustard tang to it. It’s beyond finger-licking good. And since it’s homemade, I got to adjust the heat to my liking. That meant that I added a bit more hot sauce than the recipe calls for. You can use more. Or less. This sauce would be great for the Big Game. You can make a huge batch of sauce without a lot of fuss or trouble. If you’re worried about the heat scaring off some of your guests, just make two different batches. One with the pepper flake and hot sauce, and one without.

Big Game Hot Wings

Great Wings from a Great Cookbook

This recipe for Big Game hot wings is one of the many great wing recipes you can find in Brian White’s series of chicken wing cookbooks. Every book in the Chicken Wing Cookbook Book 1 Deliciously Different Recipes of Chicken Wings You Need to Try! series is packed with fantastic recipes like this one. I picked up all 6 books for free on Amazon with my Kindle Unlimited subscription. Heck, these books alone more than make the subscription price worth it!

Make Some Wings!

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!

This sauce would be absolutely great on grilled or smoked pork ribs. The mustard would go perfectly with the pork.

Croix Valley Pineapple Habanero Wings

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.

Croix Valley Pineapple Habanero 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!

Legend Larry’s Scary Larry Wings

I always say ‘it’s been fun’ before I dive into a batch of wings covered in a super-spicy wing sauce. You know, just in case things go sideways. Legend Larry’s Scary Buffalo wing sauce worried me a bit. I mean, it says ‘scary’ right there on the label. Not ‘hot’ or ‘spicy’, but ‘scary’. Heck, it was scaring me. Then I took that first bite of wings tossed in the sauce. Well, first thing was the heat. The spice. The tongue-tingling sensation. Maybe a sneeze or two. Then along came the wonderful, outrageously good flavor. The perfect combination of spices and vinegar sauce, these Legend Larry’s Scary Larry wings were fantastic. And scary hot.

Legend Larry's Scary Larry Wings

Heat! Glorious Heat!

So what do you do if you’re worried that Legend Larry’s Scary wing sauce is too hot for you? Well, first, accept that it’s going to be hot. Accept that it’s going to tingle your tongue and not for just 2 seconds either. But know that you’re going to taste a delicious sauce too. So go light that first time. Don’t drench your wings in sauce. Lightly coat them. Heck, these Legend Larry’s Scary Larry wings don’t have to be glistening in sauce!

Spicy Mango Wings

Let’s all head to the islands and enjoy some delicious tropical-inspired wings! These spicy mango wings bring a little fruitiness, a little sweetness and as little or as much heat as you want! The sauce is the perfect consistency for wing-sticking enjoyment. I couldn’t find fresh habaneros in our market, so I used a good few shakes of habanero hot sauce instead. It hits my palate up front, then comes the fruity sweetness and all is good in the world again.

Spicy Mango Wings

Fresh ‘n Fruity. And Spicy.

I used frozen mango chunks when I made these spicy mango wings. They’re always in season! They’re easier to deal with than a fresh mango and always perfectly ripe. It’s nice to keep them on hand for recipes like this and anything else that calls for mango.

The sauce on these wings is also great on grilled or smoke ribs. Or slather it on grilled chicken.

Croix Valley Garlic Ginger Teriyaki Dry Wings

This right here is why I really love dry wings. Croix Valley Garlic Ginger Teriyaki dry wings are packed with flavor, without a sauce. Hey, sure, if you want to add sauce you surely can. But the seasoning is soooo good you can enjoy them without anything else. A sauce or dressing for dipping is definitely optional. Each bite of the wings is a combination of hints of teriyaki, the aroma of ginger and a bit of garlic. You smell the ingredients when you first open the seasoning pouch. You might think that the teriyaki will end up battling the ginger, but no. There’s the perfect balance of each. It’s kinda soy sauce like but without being overwhelming.

Croix Valley Garlic Ginger Teriyaki Dry Wings

Great Flavor in Every Bite

Croix Valley Garlic Ginger Teriyaki Dry Wings still let you taste the wings. I like that. Otherwise, hey, just eat the seasoning out of the bag and skip the wings! We’re here for delicious wings, seasoned perfectly in each and every bite. Add more for more flavor. Less to get just the perfect hint of seasoning. Don’t let the size of the bags fool you. One bag goes a long ways. And this is quality stuff, too. No worries about some bites tasting different than others. It’s mixed and seasoned perfectly.

Got Seasonings?

You have to take care of your dry seasonings. In return, they’ll take care of you by always being ready the next time you need them! Protect seasonings from the four main enemies of flavor: heat, light, air, and moisture. Never store them above the stove or oven, where steam and temperature swings cause caking and quick degradation. If you have a problem with high humidity causing your dry seasonings to cake, try adding a silica gel packet to the containers to remove moisture.

Crystal Hot Wings

I’ve been a fan of Crystal Hot Sauce since the moment I first tasted it. It’s such an incredibly tasty hot sauce.

Well, the wait is over, Crystal Pure Louisiana Original Hot Wing Sauce is here. Now I can enjoy Crystal Hot Wings any time, in minutes. This is the wing sauce dreams are made of. Just the right heat. And the most incredible aged cayenne pepper flavor around. I love these wings.

Baked Coconut Mango Wings

I thought these baked coconut mango wings were delicious. I loved them. I’m not usually a big baked wings fan, but they were packed with island-inspired flavor with golden-brown lightly crunchy skin and moist, tender meat. I’m gonna be straight-up here, though. It was the dipping sauce that threw me. Maybe it’s because 99% of the time I dip my wings in blue cheese or ranch salad dressing. I’m not sure, but I wasn’t a fan. I’d make these wings again, but I’d use the sauce as additional marinade instead. You might feel differently, but it’s my job to be up-front and honest. Hey it’s just my opinion.

Baked Coconut Mango Wings

Delicious… and Pretty

The gorgeous color on these baked coconut mango wings comes from the annatto in the Sazon seasoning. It’s the same stuff that’s used to color other foods, like making cheddar cheese orange. Yeah, it’s really white. Go figure. Why do orange-ish foods taste better? I’m not sure, but they do. And they look better too.

Cool Operator

There’s a small touch of heat in the sauce. For me, it’s nothing. I’d definitely for more adding more if you wanted more heat. You can also add your favorite hot sauce instead, but it might change the color of the sauce. As in make it weird looking. The sauce isn’t really meant to be spicy. It’s more a sweet, fruity sauce. Kind of a topical feel, really. And not a Buffalo wing-style experience.

Make sure you shake the can of coconut milk before opening. And I do mean shake it. I’ve found that a good 15-30 seconds is best. Less is not best. There’s pulp in there that you want well-distributed before using it.
