Backyard BBQ Wings

These Backyard BBQ wings bring back memories. Memories of years ago, as a kid, enjoying those classic neighborhood grill-outs. The dads gathered around charcoal grills, the moms chatting away in a circle of lawn chairs. Us kids playing, running all over the place and even getting yelled out when we came to close to the grill.

Backyard BBQ Wings

Every Bite A Memory

There’s nothing I would change about Backyard BBQ wings. They’re easy to make. They come out juicy, tender and delicious. And they remind me of that grilled barbecue chicken from long ago.

You’d find mostly grilled chicken and burgers at these cook-outs. The chicken would be heavily brushed in BBQ sauce. Like these wings. Same great flavors as back then, but on delicious wings instead.

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!

Also try some homemade chipotle barbecue wings!

Crystal Hot Wing Sauce 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. I was waiting for the fine folks to come out with a wing sauce version of their famous sauce. Heck, while I was waiting I made a Buffalo wing sauce based on their hot sauce while I was waiting. 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.

Crystal Hot Wings

Nothing But Great Taste In Every Bite

Crystal Hot wing sauce wings are 100% about flavor. Great flavor. You may find yourself like me: wanting to devour the wings in front of you. But resist. Go slow. Enjoy each and every tasty bite. You’ll be so glad you did. These wings are a wonderful take on traditional Buffalo wings.

Frederik’s By Meijer Hatch Chile Wing Sauce Wings

I have to say that here in the mid-west, I hadn’t had much of a history with Hatch chiles until a few years ago when I bought an entire case of them and roasted them. I’ve been searching them out ever since. To my pleasant surprise, along came Frederik’s by Meijer Hatch Chile wing sauce. This sauce is nice and creamy and not too thick. I could see the Hatch (and green) chiles floating happily in the bottle. I knew I was in for goodness.

Frederik's By Meijer Hatch Chile Wings

Fantastic Hatch Chile Flavor

Frederik’s by Meijer Hatch Chile wing sauce has a hint of garlic. And just the slightly amount of heat. And plenty of great balanced pepper flavors. I mean you can taste the peppers! Don’t laugh. I’ve had sauces that said they tasted like something-or-other and they didn’t even come close. This sauce delivers on its pepper promise.

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.

Also try some Frederik’s by Meijer creamy jalapeno wing sauce wings!

Wing It Honey BBQ Wing Sauce 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 wing sauce 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.

Texas Pete’s Fiery Sweet Wing Sauce Wings

If you’ve got friends that want just a bit of heat and a good bit of sweet, then Texas Pete’s Fiery Sweet wing sauce is exactly what you are looking for. This is a stick-to-your-wings thicker sauce, almost BBQ sauce-like in thickness and taste. It’s mild in the spicy department, but I found it to be quite nice even though I usually prefer more heat. It’s pretty sweet, which is a welcome change from those vinegary Buffalo wings you might be used to having.

Texas Pete's Fiery Sweet Wings

Sweet Heat Goodness

Texas Pete’s Fiery Sweet wing sauce is great for much more than wings. It makes for a fantastic dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. And it’s a great substitute for BBQ sauce, too. Slather it on some grilled ribs or chicken. Or burgers! Yummy!

Also try Texas Pete’s extra mild Buffalo wing sauce 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.

Plucker’s Spicy Mandarin Wing Sauce Wings

Now this is different. Take a bite of Plucker’s Spicy Mandarin wing sauce and you’ll instantly taste orange and soy sauce. Not overwhelming flavors, but you won’t go hunting for them, that’s for sure. This is a nice change from the sweet chili or teriyaki sauce Asian-inspired wing sauces you usually find. Not that there’s anything wrong with those.

Plucker's Spicy Mandarin Wings

Decidedly Different. And Delicious.

I picked up eighteen different bottles of wing sauce from Plucker’s. It’s a wing restaurant based out of Austin, Texas. Every single sauce, like Plucker’s spicy mandarin wing sauce, has been fantastic. So many different exciting flavors in bottle after bottle. And it’s all quality stuff, too! I’d better get to making more 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.

Plucker’s Jamango Jerk Wing Sauce Wings

What an enjoyable experience it is, sitting down to a big ole batch of wings covered in Plucker’s Jamango Jerk wing sauce. Kind of like a Caribbean BBQ sauce. You get mild mango flavor, a little heat, and just the right amount of jerk seasoning flavor. That’s important for me because jerk seasoning, when applied heavily, can be a bit much because of the allspice. This sauce has just the perfect amount.

Plucker's Jamango Jerk Wings

A Great Balance Of Island Flavors

Plucker’s Jamango Jerk wing sauce is another one of my top favorite sauces. But it’s not just for wings, that’s for sure. It’s fantastic slathered on grilled chicken. And absolutely great on smoked ribs. Anywhere you normally might use a store-bought BBQ sauce, use this wing sauce instead.

Remember that if you 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.

Plucker’s Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

It’s from Plucker’s, so I knew this sauce would be amazing. And the bottle does say ‘hot’ on it, so I knew this sauce would be spicy. The key to a great wing sauce is to balance the spicy with flavor, and this hot Buffalo wing sauce does that perfectly. Yeah, it brings some heat, but it tastes so good and that’s critical. No one wants a crazy hot sauce that doesn’t taste great. This one does.

Plucker's Hot Buffalo Wings

Spicy But Not Crazy Hot

Even if you’re not really into super spicy wing sauces, I think you’ll like Plucker’s hot Buffalo wing sauce. Sure, it has a kick. But if you go light on it, I think you’ll love your wings. Hey, do like I did and have some cool Ranch or blue cheese dressing on hand if necessary.

The Fresh Thyme Wild Buffalo wing sauce is no exception. This sauce is a nice, mellow Buffalo sauce. It’s a mix of great traditional Buffalo wing sauce flavor with a few twists.

Moore’s Spicy Habanero Wing Sauce 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!

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. They were perfect.

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 super easy to clean, too!

Louisiana Brand The Original Wing Sauce Wings

I’ve been a card-carrying member of the Louisiana-Brand hot sauce lover’s club for a long time. I love the flavor and I love the heat level. It’s just a great sauce. That’s why when I saw an ad for their new wing sauce pop up on my Facebook feed, I jumped all over it. I didn’t hesitate. What if they sold out? What if I have to wait months? Fear and passion drove me to order a few bottles. And oh boy. Louisiana Brand The Original wing sauce is gooooood! Just like the hot sauce, great flavor, great heat.

Louisiana Brand The Original Wings

The Right Spicy

I would call the heat level of Louisiana Brand The Original wing sauce to be fairly middle-of-the-road spicy. Not too spicy, but noticeable. The heat does not drown out the fantastic pepper flavors, and that’s a major win in my book. This is what a proper wing sauce should be.

Also make some of my homemade nightmare wings!
