spicy BBQ wing sauce Archives

I’m a big fan of wings tossed in BBQ sauce. Really, they’re not much different than most wing sauces so why not? And there’s an amazing variety of BBQ sauces to be found at your local grocery store. Sometimes wing sauces (at least a good variety of them) can be harder to find. The Dirty Buffalo Spicy BBQ wings live up to their name. A great fairly traditional BBQ lightly sweet sauce, with just the right amount of heat. Nothing over-the-top crazy spicy here, just a nice gentle heat. And yes, you can definitely use this sauce on ribs. Or burgers. Or even dipping those boneless things they call wings!

Any Kind Of Wing. Only One Sauce.

For my The Dirty Buffalo Spicy BBQ wings I decided to make deep-fried wings. A fairly light crunchy coating makes for a great way to capture all that delicious sauce. First time I had them, I drizzled the wings with sauce and tossed them gently to coat. Second time I served the sauce on the side for dunking the wings instead. Why? Because no matter how gentle you are tossing your deep-fried wings, you’re going to knock off some of that delicious crunchiness. Dip them instead and you won’t lose a thing.

Notes

If you prefer to air fry your wings, use my extra-crispy air fryer wing recipe to cook the wings then sauce with the Dirty Buffalo sauce when done.

If you prefer to bake your wings, use my oven-baked wing recipe and substitute the Dirty Buffalo sauce for the sauce in the recipe.

This Is One Great Sauce

If Plucker’s Spicy BBQ wings sauce is any indication of how great the other 17 sauces are that I bought, Santa was very, very good to me indeed!

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!
