Santa asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I’d been especially good all year (cough), so I could ask for anything. New grill? Nope. AirPods? Nah. Eighteen different bottles of wing sauce from Plucker’s, a wing restaurant based out of Austin, Texas? HECK YEAH! And the first one I tried? The Spicy BBQ sauce. And I loved it! I loved these Plucker’s Spicy BBQ wings!
This is what a wing sauce should be. And these Plucker’s Spicy BBQ wings are what wings should be. A little heat (2 flames out of 5 on the Plucker’s heat scale). A wonderful BBQ flavor. Sometimes BBQ wing sauces are a bit too BBQ-y for me. Nothing wrong with putting straight up BBQ sauce on wings, but if you’re going to label it as a BBQ wing sauce it has to be more. And this sauce is more. Not too thick, not too thin, it’s a great sauce with a great BBQ flavor that isn’t overwhelming.

This Is One Great Sauce
If Plucker’s Spicy BBQ wing sauce is any indication of how great the other 17 sauces are that I bought, Santa was very, very good to me indeed! Do like me and get some, and make some Plucker’s Spicy BBQ wings!
This sauce will be great on a grilled chicken sandwich, too. Or as a dipping sauce for nuggets. Or just slathered on a big ole rack of smoked ribs. But, boy is it ever fantastic on wings. No doubt, if I’m ever anywhere near a Plucker’s location, I’m heading in!

Brrrrrrrrrr!
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.
