June Moon Nashville Wings

For me, June Moon Nashville wings are like a sweet version of one of my favorite things to eat, Nashville hot chicken. Not quite as spicy as you can get, but packed with plenty of cayenne heat and flavor. Add a bit of honey and brown sugar to tame that heat a bit and offset the earthiness from the pepper. These are mighty good wings, and ones that I enjoyed immensely. I’m a big fan of Nashville hot chicken, and although this isn’t the thick lard-based paste you get on the real thing, this sauce reminds me a lot of the African-inspired dish.

June Moon Nashville Wings

Tremendous Flavor without a lot of Heat

I wasn’t shy with the sauce when I made some June Moon Nashville wings. I sampled the sauce right out of the bottle as soon as I opened it and knew I was in for a treat. So, no messing around. I added some to my right-out-of-the-air-fryer wings and tossed them good. Then I added a bit more and tossed some more. I really enjoyed the heavy cayenne flavor.

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.

Also try some June Moon parmesan garlic wings.

Valentina Hot Sauce Buffalo Wings

Oh boy oh boy! It’s time for some good ole wing happiness! These Valentina hot sauce Buffalo wings are soooooo good I found myself licking the sauce bowl. First, and foremost, let’s talk flavor. Valentina hot sauce is crazy yummy. It has just the right pepper taste. Kinda earthy. A little vinegary, too. And heat? Yes, it has some of that too but it’s really not that hot. It’ll wake you (and your taste buds) up but it won’t hurt you. Add the sauce to a few more ingredients and make a Buffalo sauce and you’ve got magic. These are some mighty-good Buffalo-style wings. The kind you’ll be wanting to make time and time again!

Valentina Hot Sauce Buffalo Wings

Absolutely Delicious Wings

Valentina hot sauce Buffalo wings sauce has the right consistency, sticking to your wings and staying there. Just enough. And if by chance some does drip off your wings and onto your plate, you’re going to want to sop it back up. Or heck, we’re friends here. Stick your finger in it and finish it off. You really don’t want to waste any. It’s delicious!

Heat, Your Way

Now, like I said, this sauce isn’t crazy hot. To me. I’m not a hot sauce aficionado. I don’t spend my time chasing the next crazy hot. But I also understand each of us have different definitions of what is ‘hot’. Well, fear not, because it’s up to you how hot this sauce it. Just adjust the ratio of butter to hot sauce! Want it hotter? Less butter, more hot sauce. Tamer? Yep, you guessed it. More butter, less hot sauce. It’s just that easy!

Moore’s Spicy Habanero Wings

Spicy and tasty. Moore’s spicy habanero wing sauce checked all of the boxes for me. It made my lips tingle but it wasn’t so hot that I didn’t notice the underlying flavor. I enjoyed the kick and I enjoyed the slight sweetness this sauce brings. I’m not one to want to torture myself with an over-the-top hot sauce. Although this sauce brought some heat I didn’t suffer when I took bite after by of my Moore’s Spicy Habanero wings!

I’ve Had Hotter, But Not Better

I’ve definitely had hotter sauces than Moore’s spicy habanero wing sauce. But few have been as tasty. It’s a great balance of the two. I didn’t go nuts with it when I sauced up a batch of hot-out-of-the-air-fryer wings. Just enough to notice. These Moore’s Spicy Habanero wings were perfect.

June Moon Strawberry Jalapeno Wings

Strawberry jalapeno BBQ sauce is a good thing, and strawberry jalapeno wing sauce is a fantastic thing! This sauce from June Moon packs strawberry flavor in right up front. You smell that wonderful strawberry aroma, and then you definitely taste it. Then comes that heat. Not too strong, but you’ll get it. Then it’s gone. It doesn’t linger and burn you forever. You get some sweet, then some heat and both are great. These June Moon Strawberry Jalapeno wings are fantastically different!

June Moon Strawberry Jalapeno Wings

“Wow” Different

This is the second wonderful wing sauce from June Moon that I’ve tried. The first, mango habanero, also impressed me with its fresh fruit flavor and taste and a good dose of heat. The June Moon strawberry jalapeno wing sauce is another winner that definitely did not fail to also impress me. These are great, small-batch, fresh-tasting sauces.

Creamy Asian Wing Dipping Sauce

Sure, I can dip wings in blue cheese dressing or Ranch dressing all day long. But sometimes I want something a bit different. When I first came across this recipe for a creamy Asian wing dipping sauce I knew I was going to like it. There’s nothing in it that I don’t like. And, it’s nice and creamy. It has a bit of a spicy kick to it. It also has a bit of a citrus flavor with a hint of garlic. And, if you let it set up the fridge overnight, it has the perfect consistency for wing dippin’! Heck, them’s all wins in my book!

Creamy Asian Wing Dipping Sauce

A Great Sauce For Asian-Inspired Wings

This creamy Asian wing dipping sauce was absolutely great for dipping Teriyaki wings. The two flavors were like a match made in heaven. I also found that this sauce is great as a sandwich spread (I was making my wife a sandwich whilst making some wings for lunch). And it’s also great on crackers. It’s a winner for sure!

If I am serving my wings with Ranch or blue cheese or some other sauce like this one, I use these sauce dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables.

But if you do…. use it as a veggie dip. Or a salad dressing. Sauce up some grilled chicken quarters. Anything where you want great, garlic flavor and aroma with a creamy Parmesan sauce.

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 for saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

June Moon Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

I had been on a super-vinegary, mega-spicy wing sauce kick for a while. I needed a break. June Moon honey BBQ sauce rescued me, treating me to delicious sweetness and fantastic flavor. A wonderful tomato-based sauce, these perfectly-sauced wings made me very happy. No heat here, just the right balance of flavors and a hint of smokiness. This is the ideal sauce to serve your friends. Not every wing sauce has to be vinegar-based and fiery hot. Sometimes it’s ok to have a little sweet. And these June Moon Honey BBQ Sauce wings are just that.

Sweet BBQ Goodness

Oh sure, June Moon honey BBQ sauce would be great on other foods. Like grilled burgers. Or ribs. Roasted whole chicken. Or serve it as a dipping sauce for something like chicken tenders or nuggets. Things like that. But I’m not doing that. Nope, I’m keeping this sauce all to myself and I’m putting it all over my June Moon Honey BBQ Sauce wings. I can do that. I’m a grown-up. Well, sort of.

Croix Valley Mango Habanero Dry Wings

I didn’t have to make dry wings. I could’ve seasoned them and then sauced them. But I’m a huge fan of dry wings and Croix Valley Mango Habanero Dry Wings are some of the best I’ve ever had. All I had to do was cook up a batch of wings and toss them in the seasoning and enjoy a crazy good lunch. Up first, I got the heat. And a good bit of it too. Then that spiciness took a back seat and up came the tropical fruitiness of mango. Heck no, I couldn’t get enough! These wings did not last at all!

Croix Valley Mango Habanero Dry Wings

Tropical Flavor with a Great Kick

I knew these Croix Valley Mango Habanero Dry Wings would be great as soon as I opened the seasoning pouch. It’s always good to get a little taste the first time you use a rub or a sauce. Without that you might use too much. You can always add more, but it’s hard to use less once you’ve already seasoned your wings!

Also try this rub on shrimp.

I like to air fry my dry wings. I season them upfront. Then I cook them. Then I season them again, hot out of the air fryer. Then I plate them. And then I season them again. Yep, three times. Three times the flavor. Three times the enjoyment!

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.

Croix Valley Hickory Barbecue Dry Wings

My wife said that her first bite of these Croix Valley Hickory Barbecue Dry Wings made her think of her favorite BBQ potato chips. There’s no mistaking the fantastic flavor of this seasoning. It’s really good and very well balanced. If you’re looking for the flavor of BBQ chicken (or really good BBQ chips!) you’re in luck. We both enjoyed the heck out of these wings.

Croix Valley Hickory Barbecue Dry Wings

Great BBQ Flavor

I keep my Croix Valley hickory barbecue dry wings simple. I cook them first, and usually without any seasoning on them. I’ll add a bit of salt if I’m cooking them on a deep fryer or grill. But, I don’t add anything else, specially not something that might burn (like seasonings that contain sugar).

Dry wings are a wonderful thing. The skin stays crispy long after you’ve cooked them. That makes them perfect for a get together. You can still serve them with sauce, if you want, just put it on the side in condiment cups. But there’s nothing wrong with serving them dry. And hey, they’re sure as heck a lot less messy!

Dry Wings Are A Favorite

After the wings are done, and while they’re still hot and a bit oily, I toss them in seasoning. That’s when the wings and the seasoning are going to come together the best. If you wait until the wings cool the seasoning won’t stick as well. Also, make sure you use a quality seasoning… like anything from Croix Valley!

I often also like to season my wings even more after I plate them. It’s like a garnish, but with flavor.

Legend Larry’s Teriyaki Wings

Legend Larry’s makes some absolutely terrific wing sauces. I’ve enjoyed them all, again and again. Their Teriyaki wing sauce, though, is something above and beyond absolutely terrific. This is a big favorite in our house. We always look forward to a batch of wings covered in this sauce. It’s nice and thick, but not gloppy. It’s likely sweet, but not cloyingly so. It has that traditional teriyaki flavor, but it’s not so strong that it overpowers your senses. It’s the perfect balance of everything you want and need in a wing sauce. These Legend Larry’s Teriyaki wings are great!

Asian-Inspired Wing Greatness

You could sure put this sauce on a stir fry, or use it as a dipping sauce for nuggets. Or on a grilled chicken sandwich. But for me, Legend Larry’s Teriyaki wing sauce is a hands-down true winner on wings. And it’s one of my wife’s favorites too. That says a lot. She’s picky about her wing sauces, and she’d pick Legend Larry’s any day of the week. Even picky her loved Legend Larry’s Teriyaki wings!

What Are You Waiting For?

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 for saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My Trusty Wingman

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!
