Alabama White Sauce BBQ Wings

Alabama white sauce is the kind of BBQ sauce that I thought was a bit odd at first. I love mayonnaise, but in a BBQ sauce? Huh? Vinegar, yeah, I get that. But the mayonnaise threw me, even though I’m a mayo-holic. But like a good lil trooper, I tried it and boy did I love it. Do love it. I’ve made my own a few times, but I recently discovered Duke’s Alabama style white southern dipping sauce and it’s one that I really really like, so that’s what I put on my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings!

Alabama White Sauce BBQ Wings

Go easy on the sauce

I like my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings just lightly sauced. Too much and I start to think I’m having potato salad. Or a creamy macaroni salad. The sauce has a great flavor, but there’s no need to go crazy with it. That’s just my opinion, of course. You can always put some sauce on the side for dipping your chicken wings.

Lillie’s Q also makes an outstanding white sauce that is great on wings! Give it a try!

Private Selection Chili Wing Sauce Wings

I love the Private Selection (Kroger’s premium brand) line of wing sauces. Each one has been fantastic, and believe me I’ve tried them all. The Private Selection Chili wing sauce is no exception. It’s a wonderful combination of garlic and very mild chile peppers. It packs a very, very light punch and brings a good bit of sweetness. Not too spicy and not too sweet.

Private Selection Chili Wings

Great On Other Dishes, Too!

Private Selection Chili wing sauce isn’t just a great sauce for wings, either. It’s great for dipping shrimp and chicken nuggets too! But it is absolutely finger-licking fantastic on a batch of hot-out-of-whatever-you-cooked-them-in wings. I admit it, I’m pretty heavy handed with it when I pour it onto my wings.

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.

Blonde Beard’s Rooster Dry Wings

Blonde Beard’s is known for their wing sauces. But they also sell a wing seasoning, known as Rooster Dry Rub. It’s a wonderful combination of Cajun flavors and roasted garlic. It has a very low heat level so you don’t worry about scaring anyone off. Blonde Beard’s Rooster dry wings are fantastic and if you’ve not tried dry wings, this will make a believer out of you with the first bite!

The bottle says ‘wing rub’ but I can ensure you that’s not all it’s good on. It’s really good on wings. I love the roasted garlic flavor most. It’s a different flavor for wings, for me at least, and reminds me of roasted whole chicken (hint: roast a chicken and put this rub on it and you’ll thank me!).

Blonde Beard's Rooster Dry Wings

More Is Definitely Better

I prefer to season my ‘dry’ wings after they are cooked, especially if the seasoning I’m using might char a bit when exposed to high heat. I found that to be the case with Rooster Dry Rub when I applied it to wings before cooking them in an air fryer. Blonde Beard’s Rooster dry wings were much better when seasoned after cooking instead. And don’t be shy with it either. It’s really good and you really can’t go wrong with adding more. You can go wrong with not adding enough!

Like I said, Blonde Beard’s claim-to-fame is their sauces (look at them! Yowsa!) but don’t overlook their rub!

Make sure you seal your wing seasonings well after using. You don’t want any moisture sneaking in. This dust comes in shaker bottles that seal perfectly!

Old School Backyard BBQ Wings

One of my favorite childhood memories is of the backyard BBQs our neighborhood would have. A charcoal grill, chicken, and BBQ sauce. Oh sure there were things like potato salad and chips, too, but even as a kid I was all about that BBQ chicken. Well, nothing has changed really. Except now instead of legs or chicken quarters, I lean towards grilling wings. There’s nothing fancy going on here. Prep time is minimal. Cook time is fairly short. But these old school backyard BBQ wings hit the spot just like the chicken off the grill oh so many years ago!

Old School Backyard BBQ Wings

Don’t Over-Think It.

Like I said, there’s nothing fancy going on with these old school backyard BBQ wings. There’s no need to some $10/bottle wing seasoning. Or a high-fallutin’ BBQ sauce. Get that cheap stuff that’s been around for decades. There’s a reason it’s lasted that long. Get that.

I really like to put my sauced wings directly over the hot coals just before removing them. I like to ‘set’ the sauce and get a little char on the wings. A little crunch. Not too much, I don’t want to burn them and get that burned taste. But a little char is good.

If you’re looking for extra-crispy wings from your charcoal grill, I can’t recommend using a Vortex BBQ enough!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the seasoning over the wings. Using your hands, toss the wings to coat.
  • Load up the charcoal chimney about 3/4ths of the way with charcoal and light. Once the charcoal is all lit and lightly covered in ash, dump the coals into the grill along one side. This will create two zones: a hot direct heat zone over the coals and a cooler indirect heat zone for the wings.
  • Add the charcoal grate and close the grill. Oven the top and bottoms vents all the way. Let the grill preheat for 5.
  • Place the wings on the indirect heat side of the grill. Close the lid and turn so that the vent is above the wings.
  • Cook until the wings are lightly browned and crispy, usually 45 minutes.
  • Brush the tops of the wings with BBQ sauce the last 10 minutes of cooking. Close the lid and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and brush with more sauce. Close the lid and cook another 5 minutes.
  • If desired, place the wings directly over the coals to get a little char on them for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve hot.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce on the side, if desired.

Legend Larry’s Honey BBQ Wing Sauce Wings

A little sweet. And a little heat. A little tangy mustard. And the perfect flavor combinations. The perfect consistency. Legend Larry’s Honey BBQ wing sauce is spot-on the perfect wing sauce. There’s nothing wrong with traditional Buffalo-inspired wing flavors, but sometimes you want something totally new and totally different. This is it. This is one fantastic sauce that you’ll find yourself craving over and over.

Legend Larry's Honey BBQ Wings

Decidedly Different. Definitely Delicious.

Legend Larry’s Honey BBQ wing sauce isn’t just for wings, either. I like to brush it on grilled or smoked ribs. It’s also fantastic as a dipping sauce for grilled chicken breasts or chicken nuggets. Since it’s not too thin (or thick) it makes for a great all-around sauce.

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.

Heritage Fare Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

This right here is one fantastic bottled Buffalo wing sauce. Heritage Fare hit this one out of the park, big time. Just the right Buffalo flavor, just the right amount of heat. And Heritage Fare Buffalo chicken wings sauce has just the right consistency, too. And that’s just as important as taste. Doesn’t matter how great tasting a sauce is if it all ends up at the bottom of a plate, and not on your wings!

Heritage Fare Buffalo Chicken Wings

Great Classic Buffalo Flavor

I can’t recommend Heritage Fare Buffalo wing sauce enough. I loved it. Sure, you can make a Buffalo wing sauce at home easy enough, but you’re going to have a hard time beating the taste and convenience of it right out of the bottle.

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.

Chik’N-Lik’N BBQ Sauce Wings

Just because it doesn’t say ‘wing sauce’ on the label doesn’t mean it isn’t going to be good on wings. And actually, Chik’N-Lik’N BBQ sauce wings aren’t just good. They’re flat-out delicious. I devoured these wings like I hadn’t eaten in weeks. A little savory, with a light mustardy tang and just a bit of spiciness, I can see why people love this sauce on more than chicken.

Chik'N-Lik'N Wings

This Sauce Makes Me Happy

I didn’t use up the entire bottle of sauce on my Chik’N-Lik’N BBQ sauce wings, although I certainly could’ve made a few more batches of wings and loved every one of them. No, I saved some for roasted chicken and even burgers. The sauce was delicious on both. This is one great sauce to keep on hand, even substituting it for ketchup on fries!

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.

SouthHouse Spicy Ranch Wing Sauce Wings

This is why you should not scroll through your Facebook feed too fast if it’s like mine and is full of food-related posts and ads. I don’t usually pay attention to ads but a recent one from SouthHouse, a sports bar and restaurant in Philadelphia caught my eye. I saw bottles of wing sauces and they all looked fantastic. They’re made in-house and sounded great, so I ordered a bottle of each flavor, including Spicy Ranch, to try out.

SouthHouse Spicy Ranch Wings

What’s The First Word In The Name?

The Spicy Ranch wing sauce is… spicy! That’s why the word ‘spicy’ comes first, I bet! It’s not super-Ranchy, and not buttermilk Ranchy like say, your favorite dressing. But as you can see below, it makes for some awesome-looking wings.

For me the heat in the SouthHouse Spicy Ranch wing sauce is just right. It hit me right up front, but then mellowed out as I went. So it’s not like I was curled up on the floor in a ball. I liked it. And I can use it as a dip for veggies too!

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.

June Moon Honey Mustard Wing Sauce Wings

I thought that these June Moon honey mustard wing sauce wings were absolutely outstanding. I like mustard, but I don’t like it overly… mustardy. This sauce isn’t overbearingly mustardy. Not this sauce, no. It’s spot-on with the right balance of mustard and the sweetness of honey but it’s not crazy sweet either. This is one great experience on a chicken wing, right here. Get some and you’ll be happy too!

June Moon Honey Mustard Wings

Mustardy Goodness without being too Mustardy

June Moon honey mustard wing sauce wings are a great alternative to your standard, Buffalo-style wings. Mix it up. Do a little of both. This sauce is just the right creamy thickness, with just the right flavor to satisfy anyone. Like their other sauces, June Moon hit this one out of the park!

If I am serving my wings with Ranch or blue cheese or some other sauce, I use these little sauce dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables. And they’re easy to clean, too!

Croix Valley Tequila Lime Wing Sauce Wings

Croix Valley Tequila Lime wing sauce is different. It’s rather unlike most wings sauces. In a way it kind of reminded me of a few Thai chili wing sauces I’ve tried, but only in a way. It’s a little on the sweet side (I mean that in a good way). There are hints of tequila and lime that add a bit of a tang. It has a little bit of jalapeno but it’s not spicy. The flavor, though, oh! This is crazy delicious sauce. I could not stop licking my fingers. I wanted more sauce. More!

Croix Valley Tequila Lime Wings

A Totally Different, Totally Delicious Sauce

Croix Valley Tequila Lime wing sauce wings are just flat-out enjoyable. Like their other sauces, this is a quality sauce. Good stuff is in the bottle. Yes, bottle. Glass. No plastic here. This is what makes a good sauce better. I’d buy and use this sauce again and again without hesitation.

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.
