The Dirty Buffalo Spicy Garlic Ranch Wings

I enjoy a great plate of wings. Who doesn’t? The kind where I take a bite and just say “Oh that’s good.”. No analysis. No checklist. Just enjoy the moment. That’s what I did with these The Dirty Buffalo Spicy Garlic Ranch wings. Instead of trying to describe the sauce right off the bat, I just enjoyed my lunch. And boy did I. You know you’ve had great wings when your thought after the last bite is “I can’t wait to have those again.”.

The Dirty Buffalo Spicy Garlic Ranch Wings

It’s About The Sauce

I didn’t make any fancy fru-fru wings. Just some simple air fryer wings. I had tunnel vision. I wanted to get to that sauce! The Dirty Buffalo spicy garlic Ranch wings more than hit the spot. They were nicely spicy. They have a great kick to them. Not overwhelmingly so, but very enjoyable. The sauce is like a Buffalo Ranch sauce. Kind of a creamy Buffalo sauce really. All with a hint of garlic. Not a ‘ward off the vampires’ amount of garlic. Just right.

I’d eat wings tossed in this sauce all day long. Sometimes I use a lot of sauce. Some times I use less. Either way, they’re fantastic!

Brrrrrrrrrrr!

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.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 350 F.
  • Lightly salt the wings on all sides.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!).
  • Cook wings for 12 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and cook another 12 minutes.
  • Increase the air fryer temperature to 400 F and cook another 6 minutes.
  • Remove wings from fryer and place in a bowl. Toss with the sauce. Click here for our guide on how to sauce wings.
  • Remove wings from the bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

Note: If your wing sauce is refrigerated, set it out on the countertop before starting the wings so that it warms up a bit. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings.
Note: The full 30 minute cook time is for large, meaty wings. If your wings are a bit thinner (er… scrawny) back the times down to 10/10/4 minutes instead of 12/12/6 minutes.

La Preferida Extra Hot Wings

You can’t go wrong with a batch of La Preferida extra hot wings. The sauce is what I would call your pretty much standard Buffalo wing sauce. With a good kick. Seasoned perfectly. To be truthful, with a trusted name like La Preferida on the label, I was expecting a little something different. A twist. A little special seasoning. That didn’t happen. But, these are still good wings. If you’re in the market for a good Buffalo wing sauce, this is a great choice.

La Preferida Extra Hot Wings

A Rarity?

I found a bottle of La Preferida extra hot wing sauce at a specialty grocery store in Cincinnati. I can’t find it online anywhere. Heck, I even tried contacting the company to see what the deal is and why I can’t find it anywhere. I wanted to make more La Preferida extra hot wings. I do love a good Buffalo wing sauce and this is up there with all the big names in wing sauces.

Fried. Or Not.

I made my wings my standard fried way. Just a light coating. Fried to perfection. Then sauced. That’s it. Well, that and happiness.

Spicy Kentuckyaki Sauce Wings

I made a batch of ‘regular’ Kentuckyaki sauce wings the other day and thought that they were easily some of the best wings I’ve ever had. Except one little thing. I wanted a bit more kick. Some heat. Oh gosh, don’t get me wrong the non-spicy version was spectacular and I’d make and eat them all day long. But it was time for some spicy Kentuckyaki sauce wings. And they did not disappoint.

Spicy Kentuckyaki Sauce Wings

Lick The Plate Delicious

I can’t get over how much I enjoyed these spicy Kentuckyaki sauce wings. The perfect balance of sweet and heat. With a wonderful bourbon twist. A hint. Just right. Asian-inspired flavors that make you want to not only lick your fingers, but the plate too.

I picked up this sauce and its non-spicy partner at the Kentucky Artisan Center on I-75 in Berea, KY. It’s a great place to stop to find arts, crafts, sauces and even grab a great breakfast or lunch!

Go Easy, My Friend

I’m always leery of tossing deep-fried wings in sauce. You have to be gentle or that crunchy coating you worked so hard to get comes flying off. I recommend either drizzling the wings first and gently stirring with a spatula or brushing the sauce on. You can also just serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

For the sauce

Instructions

For the sauce

  • Heat 2-3" of oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven. While it's warming up, make the sauce.
  • In a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat, add the Kentuckyaki sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar and hot sauce. Stir.
  • In a small glass or bowl, mix the corn starch and water together. I like to use a fork for this. Make sure you get them well-combined.
  • Let the sauce come to a boil. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue whisking while the sauce thickens, another 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let sit while you make the wings. Note: If the sauce gets too thick as it sets, whisk in a teaspoon or two of warm water to thin it.

For the wings

  • Place the flour in a large bowl. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  • Working in batches if needed, add the wings to the flour and coat well. Turn them several times, making sure you get the wings covered in flour.
  • Shake off any excess flour and add to the hot oil. Deep fry 7-10 minutes or until the wings hit 165 F. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack over a baking sheet to drain.
  • Transfer wings to a large bowl. Drizzle with the sauce. Using a spatula, turn the wings to coat well. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
  • Remove wings to a platter and serve.

Notes

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

So there’s no reason for me to drag out my big deep-fryer that could easily cook for a crowd. No, this calls for my Fry Daddy. Perfect for one-to-four people’s-worth of wings. And it doesn’t use a lot of oil, that’s a major plus. It gets to temperature quickly and maintains it even when I add cold wings. It’s priced right too and lasts forever!

There are a lot of Buffalo-inspired wing sauces out there. You see them every day, everywhere it seems. Well, Wing-Time’s is different. It brings more than heat. It brings flavor. And lots of it. I love these Wing-Time hot Buffalo wings. There’s nothing but delicious kick here. Yeah, they’re spicy. They’re supposed to be. But they aren’t painfully spicy. If you’re serving wings you gotta have some hot wings and these are some of the best you’ll find.

It’d be sad if they’re gone because they have made some some of the best wing sauces around. These Wing-Time hot Buffalo wings are great proof of that. On the off-chance the company is going bye-bye I suggest you grab some bottles of Wing-Time hot Buffalo wing sauce now.

Four Sixes Straight Sixes Spicy BBQ Sauce Wings

My squeeze bottle of this sauce didn’t last long at all. Not only were these Four Sixes Straight Sixes Spicy BBQ sauce wings fantastic, but the sauce also found its way onto some pulled pork sandwiches and baked potatoes. And some grilled chicken thigh sandwiches. This sauce is great all-around, but absolutely fantastic on wings. It’s what I call a “not overly” BBQ sauce. It’s not overly spicy. It’s not overly sweet. Or overly thick. It’s just spot-on in every category.

I found myself craving more of these Four Sixes Straight Sixes Spicy BBQ sauce wings not minutes after finishing them. They are the perfect balance of vinegar, sweet molasses and just a hint of heat. And I liked the slightly smoky flavor. All in a great stick-to-your wings consistency. I was glad I found a bottle of this sauce at my local grocery store. Now I have to go back and get more!

Ass Kickin’ Habanero Wings

Sometimes you come across a product with a name that implies it might be spicy only to find out that it’s not. Well, let me tell you straight up. These Ass Kickin’ Habanero wings do not lie. They do truly kick your butt. But they do it in style: with flavor. As much as I don’t like to be in pain, these wings brought on the best kind of pain possible.

Ass Kickin' Habanero Wings

Bringing the Heat

I admit it, I went kinda light on the sauce the first time I made some Ass Kickin’ Habanero wings. Hey, I’m no dummy. I tasted it from the bottle first. I loved the flavors. It’s like a traditional Buffalo sauce but oh so much spicier. And tastier. I definitely needed some blue cheese dressing to help me cool off from these wings.

The folks over at Bone Suckin’ sauces make a mighty tasty honey and habanero wings sauce. Give it a try too!

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings, and saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My Trusty Wingman

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!

Ass Kickin’ Bacon Wings

Truth is, you’re gonna feel it when you bite into some Ass Kickin’ Bacon wings. The base sauce definitely packs a punch. There’s a slight hint of smoky bacon. I can’t say it’s really ‘bacon forward’. This sauce is based on a great, spicy Buffalo-inspired sauce and that’s its strength. You’re gonna get an ass kickin’ first, and the bacon second!

Ass Kickin' Bacon Wings

Great Flavor and Heat

I really liked the flavor of these Ass Kickin’ Bacon wings. The sauce is a little thinner than you’d expect from a BBQ sauce. It really is more reminiscent of a Buffalo sauce. That’s where it’s roots are and it doesn’t try to hide them. The bacon plays second fiddle to what is a great hot wing sauce.

Fricker’s Frickin’ Kicker Wings

If a restaurant sells its own bottled wing sauces, I’m there. You don’t have to tell me twice. You’re standing behind what you make when you also go thru the trouble and expense of bottling it. We were at a Fricker’s the other day, and yep, that meant I had to have some wings and grab some sauce to go. This time I got Fricker’s Frickin’ Kicker wing sauce. Yep, you can guess from the name that there’s gonna be some heat in this sauce, and there was. This is a great, classic Buffalo wing sauce. No fancy modifications to the original, just great vinegar and spices. Perfectly spicy on some wings at the restaurant or wings made at home, like these Fricker’s Frickin’ Kicker wings!

Fricker's Frickin' Kicker Wings

Yeah It’s Got a Kick. A Great Kick.

If you head over to Fricker’s web site you can order some Fricker’s Frickin’ Kicker wing sauce too. Their sauces are very reasonably priced. They currently sell four varieties online, but if you head to a restaurant they’re more than happy to make any sauce you want off the menu ‘to go’. The sauces come in Mason jars and are made fresh, right then and there. It’s awesome! And so are these Fricker’s Frickin’ Kicker wings!

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.

Feel that tingle. Feel that burn. Taste those classic flavors. Some spice. Butter flavor. Garlic. Vinegar. Everything you need is here. Frank’s RedHot Hot Buffalo wings are super addicting. I was in the hurry for lunch, but not in too big of a hurry that I couldn’t cook up some wings in the air fryer for a bit then toss them in this sauce. A little ranch (or blue cheese to keep it traditional) on the side to cool me down, and I’m one happy guy.

A Great Kick with Great Flavor

There are milder versions of Buffalo sauce, but I find myself coming back to Frank’s RedHot hot Buffalo wing sauce again and again. It has just the right amount of heat for me when I’m searching for a wing with a nice kick to it. I could sit down to a bucket of these wings, some football and a cold adult beverage and be one happy guy for a long, long time.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings, and saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My Trusty Wingman

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!
