Copycat Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing

I was looking for a new dipping sauce for wings. I love Ranch dressing and I have to admit that it’s my go-to. But I also love blue cheese dressing. So I made this copycat of the blue cheese salad dressing from Outback Steakhouse. This instantly became my favorite chicken wing dipping sauce (and salad dressing).

Copycat Outback Steakhouse Blue Cheese Dressing

The Perfect Wing Dunking Dressing

You really need to let this copycat Outback Steakhouse blue cheese salad dressing ‘get happy’ in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. I actually prefer to let it sit overnight. The flavors get blended as you wait, and the wait is worth it. If you taste the dressing just moments after you make it you might be disappointed as it won’t have much flavor. That flavor comes later, so be patient! Then get yourself some wings, some of this dressing and GET TO IT!

Check out my new site, Dress My Salad, for more great salad dressing ideas!

I use this little ole sauce dipping cups for my salad dressings and dipping sauces. Whether I’m dipping wings, nuggets or chicken tenders or whatever, they’re the perfect size. And they’re easy to clean up, too. As an added bonus they help me with serving size, which is a good thing because I lack control around this blue cheese dressing!

Copycat KFC Honey BBQ Wings

These copycat KFC honey BBQ wings are some of the best deep-fried wings I’ve had. The coat is crazy crunchy and flavorful. It ‘bites’ thru perfectly. No fear of taking a bite and having the entire batter come off at one. And the sauce? My goodness me. The sauce starts with a store-bought sauce, adds a few ingredients, and ends up being just out-of-this-world great. I’d use the sauce on anything that requires a good, thick, smoky BBQ sauce. On these wings it’s perfect. These are finger-licking good wings if ever there were any!

These Wings Are Crazy Good

If you don’t follow Todd Wilbur, you should. He is the master of everything copycat. From restaurant dishes, like this copycat KFC honey BBQ wings recipe, to copycat grocery store items, and a whole lot more, Todd has it going on. Like with everything else of his I’ve made, he nailed this recipe and technique perfectly. I loved these wings. They’re a real winner.

If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll break out my big deep fryer. But, if it’s just me, I’ll fire up my Fry Daddy fryer. It’s the perfect size. It fries everything perfectly. And as an added bonus, it doesn’t use a lot of oil, which saves me money. And that means I can buy more wing!

Instructions

For the sauce (make first)

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer and continue simmering for 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Keep sauce warm until ready to use.

For the wings

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
  • Pre-heat oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 350 F.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and pepper.
  • Place the buttermilk in a separate bowl.
  • Coat the wings in the flour mixture. Shake off any excess and transfer to the buttermilk.
  • Coat the wings in the buttermilk. Shake off any excess then return to the flour mixture.
  • Shake off any excess flour. Working in batches if needed, fry the wings 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Brush the wings with the BBQ sauce. You can also gently toss the wings in the sauce, but I prefer to brush the sauce onto the wings.
  • Place wings on the baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes to 'set' the sauce.
  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Serve your wings with extra sauce on the side for dipping!

Copycat Hooter’s Hot Buffalo Wings

It’s hard to beat Hooter’s for good ole hot wings. 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 Hooter’s 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 taste wonderful and they disappear in no time. That’s the sign of darned good wings.

Copycat Hooter's Hot Buffalo Wings

Great Heat and Great Flavor

I wouldn’t do anything different about these copycat Hooter’s 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!

Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

The first time I tried the Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings at Buffalo Wild Wings I was blown away. It was in West Chester, Ohio, and I remember it like it was yesterday because I absolutely loved the combination of coconut, curry and just a bit of heat. I could’ve just licked the sauce off the wings, but then we were in a public place and that would’ve been awkward. Ever since I’ve been looking for a copycat of BW3’s sauce, and here it is. Now I can lick the sauce off the wings in the privacy of my own home with this copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai curry wings!

Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

One Fantastically Good Sauce

I found the Shan chicken white karahi mix in the Pakistani section of our international supermarket. If you can’t find it nearby you can always order it online. It’s what makes this copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry wings so special.

I could not find Thai chile peppers in our supermarket, so I had to go to plan B. I picked up a few packages of dried cayenne peppers, reconstituted them, and chopped them up. It was a great save.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Ingredients

For the wings

  • 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

For the sauce

Instructions

For the wings

For the sauce (start cooking when you start the wings)

  • Mince the peppers and then pound in a mortar and pestle or grind into a paste using the side of a knife blade. You want the peppers to form a paste.
  • Place the peppers and remaining ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, while the wings are cooking. You want the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • NOTE: I could not find Thai peppers at our grocery store. You can substitute jalapenos or seranos for more heat. Preferably you want to use a red pepper. I bought dried cayenne peppers, which I then reconstituted in hot water for 1 hour. I then removed the seeds and minced the peppers into a paste.

Notes

The sauce is worth the effort.

Cool Ranch Doritos Wings

I did it. I made Cool Ranch Doritos wings. Darn right I marked this day on my calendar. Because it was a glorious day. A day of wing greatness. Crunchy. A touch of Cool Ranch seasoning. These double-cooked wings came out fantastic. And different. You can’t ignore the ‘wow’ factor when these goodies come out of the fryer!

Cool Ranch Doritos Wings

Double-Cooked Greatness

Unlike normal breaded wings, these Cool Ranch Doritos wings are double-cooked. First they are cooked ‘naked’. No batter. Doesn’t matter how they are cooked as long as they are done. Oven. Air fryer. Grill. Whatever. However. Doesn’t matter. Then you batter them in Dorito greatness and deep-fry them just long enough to warm up the wings and get the coating nice and golden brown delicious.

Choose Your Dorito

I went with Cool Ranch Doritos because they are tied for being my favorite. Tied with taco. And nacho. You can use any Dorito flavor you want. Or do some of each. Make a Dorito-coated wing flight! Score!

Instructions

  • Cook the wings the day ahead. You don't want to cook them naked, or just lightly seasoned. I recommend grilling, smoking, deep-frying, baking or air-frying. Do not use any batter or coating. You can season them but don't over-do it as you don't want to drown out the Ranch Doritos coating. When the wings are done, place in an air-tight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat 2-3" of oil to 350 F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven. While the oil is heating set the wings out at room temperature.
  • Working in batches, place the chips into a blender and process until they have a breadcrumb-like consistency.
  • In a large bowl, combine the processed chips, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • In a small bowl or pie plate, whisk together the eggs.
  • Working in batches as needed, dip the wings in the eggs. Shake off any excess.
  • Dip wings in breading and coat evenly. Shake off any excess.
  • Again dip the wings in the eggs. Shake off any excess.
  • One more time into the breading. Shake off any excess.
  • Deep-fry the wings for 3 minutes. You're just getting the coating nice and crunchy and golden brown and heating the wings.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve hot.

Chipotle Blackberry Wings

You know I love chicken wings. Any time, any way. So I was really looking forward to these wings. I made chipotle blackberry wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer, but you can make them in the oven, on a grill, or just deep fry them. The sauce is what makes these wings fantastic. A nice sweetness and a nice smoky heat. Perfect.

Chipotle Blackberry Wings

Kick It Up!

I like a little kick to my wings. If you do too, don’t be afraid to add more chipotles when you make your chipotle blackberry wings. Or add a few good shakes of hot sauce to the wing sauce.

I did serve these wings with a dipping sauce, but honestly, I could’ve skipped it. Nothing needed to be added to them that could possibly make them any better.

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Chipotle Barbecue Wings

These chipotle barbecue wings are proof of two things. One, Tabasco Chipotle Sauce is absolutely the tastiest, smoky pepper sauce you can find. And two, with just two ingredients you can make one of the best wing sauces you’ve had. Mild on the heat side, and full-power on the taste side, I could not have been happier with these wings.

Chipotle Barbecue Wings

The Easiest Sauce You’ll Ever Make

The sauce on these chipotle barbecue wings is definitely not ‘just’ for wings. Oh me, is it ever good on grilled or smoked ribs. Ditto smoked pulled pork or brisket. And grilled chicken? Yeah, great there too. It has the perfect consistency to stick to anything you put it on without being too thick that it is gloppy. You can adjust the spicy level by using more or less of the Tabasco sauce. I found a 50/50 ratio to be perfect, giving me a little heat and a lot of flavor at the same time.

I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce in this recipe. Kraft Original Slow-Simmered BBQ Barbecue Sauce would be another great choice. You don’t want to grab something that is going to fight the pepper sauce. Just a good old school tomato-based sauce will do just fine.

Chili Garlic Wings

Ketchup-based BBQ sauces are very common. Ketchup-based wing sauces? Not so much. That’s why I was (incorrectly) apprehensive about this chili garlic wing sauce at first. Would it be too ketchupy? Would I like it? No, and no. I LOVED IT! This sauce is the absolute bomb on wings. It has so many flavors packed into one bite it’s almost impossible to describe. Just the right balance of tomato, garlic, spice, sweetness and mustard. And the consistency is spot-on too. I so enjoyed these chili garlic wings!

Chili Garlic Wings

A Great Sauce To Keep On Hand

The sauce on these chili garlic wings is actually great on anything you grill, too. Slather some on some ribs, or grilled chicken. Or even better, smoked brisket or pulled pork. You’ll be thinking… hey! This is my new go-to sauce for everything!

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Catalina Wings

Creamy, yummy, great. With a hint of soy sauce. These Catalina wings more than hit the spot. I was amazed by how much I loved the flavor combination. Kinda like an Asian-inspired BBQ sauce. Easy as heck to make, too. If you’re looking for a simple wing sauce recipe that can be made from ingredients you already have in your fridge and pantry, this is it. The only one you’ll need!

Catalina Wings

Make More

The sauce on these Catalina wings is great for more than wings. Slather it on grilled chicken breasts. On fried chicken sandwiches. Dip your nuggets in it. Brush it on ribs. It’s a great all-around sauce that has great flavor and the perfect consistency for just about any application.

If you’re having trouble getting the onion powder to dissolve when stirring, just use a whisk. In a minute or two it’ll disappear into the sauce and you’re good-to-go!

Cajun Wings

I love chicken wings. Any flavor, any time, but in particular, I love wings with some kick. Not over-the-top, kick-me-in-the-gut hot, but just spicy enough to wake you up. These Cajun wings with dipping sauce bring the heat thanks to Louisiana hot sauce.

Cajun Wings

Great No Matter How You Cook Them

I prefer to cook my Cajun wings in my Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer then finish them off on the grill to get a nice crunchy skin. But, they’re just as great cooked in the oven or on a grill. You can also deep fry them. These wings with dipping sauce are a delight no matter what you use to make them. The marinade really adds tremendous flavor to every bite, through and through and the cooling dipping sauce finishes it all off perfectly.
