Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana Hot Sauce Wings

I love it when I find a new hot sauce that’s just a bit different than the rest. I crave flavor in my hot sauce, and not just heat. And I love making any hot sauce into a sauce for wings. These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings are delicious with just the right heat level for me. Not overly hot, and not boring, either. These are fingerlickingly-good wings!

Make Wings. Make Sauce. And Make Yourself Happy.

This wasn’t complicated. I threw some wings into the air fryer. Or the deep-fryer. I don’t remember. It’s not really about that. I just needed some cooked-up wings. Meanwhile I made the sauce. Two ingredients. That’s it. I went for a hotter sauce, but as you can see in the recipe below, you can adjust the heat by changing the ratio of butter to hot sauce. I tossed the wings in the sauce, sat down, and got to eatin’. And I was happy. Very happy. That’s wing success right there! These Kinder’s Creamy Louisiana hot sauce wings did not disappoint!

Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ Sauce Wings

It’s BBQ wing time! One of my favorite things to have is wings coated in BBQ sauce. I’m not hung up on only saucing them with bottles that say ‘wing sauce’ on the front. BBQ sauces make for perfect wings! Like these Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ sauce wings. This is one great sauce. And it’s really great on wings. It has a hint of smoke. It’s a little sweet but has a nice vinegar tang. The heat level isn’t too high, but you’ll notice it.

Stick-To-Your Wings Good Stuff

This sauce isn’t messing around. It sticks to your wings. That’s good news. No one wants a ‘sauce pool’ on the bottom of their plate. Make some wings and sauce them up with some Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ sauce and you’ll be happy. Just squirt it on and toss them (gently) until nice and coated.

Heck yeah this sauce is great on burgers, roasted chicken, ribs too! And pulled pork! Don’t tell anyone, but I also like to dip potato chips into it! Yummy!

Shore Lunch Spicy Cajun Style Wings

I like grabbing a breading box out of my pantry and making deep-fried wings. It’s easy. And luckily, there are several really tasty breading brands on the market. One of my favorites is Shore Lunch. And in particular, their Cajun-flavored breading. I know, the box says ‘fish breading’. You can ignore that. I did, and I used it to make some wings! Crunchy and flavorful, you’ll quickly realize that the box doesn’t have to say ‘chicken’ to be great for chicken!

Today, I wanted something with a bit more kick. So I ’embellished’ the breading and made some Shore Lunch Spicy Cajun Style wings. Same great flavor as the original, but with some heat. Oh yeah, these are my kind of easy wings!

No Sauce Required

These Shore Lunch Spicy Cajun Style wings don’t require a sauce. They’re great just as they are, right out of the deep fryer! But, if you’re craving a little sauce, a little something more, serve them with some Buffalo sauce on the side. Or your favorite dressing. But honestly, the wings are so good without it you won’t miss it if you just eat them ‘naked’.

De La Viuda Hot Sauce Wings

It’s not that complicated. Delicious hot sauces make for delicious wings. Nothing was complicated about these De La Viuda hot sauce wings. But they sure were delicious. The sauce is the real winner here. It is easily one of the best-tasting hot sauces I’ve had. A tremendous combination of peppers, it brings a little heat, but not so much that it’s overwhelming. I don’t like sauces that are so hot that I miss the flavor. This was spot-on great.

Have It Your Way. You Rule.

You can cook up your wings any way you want. I went with my simple deep-fried wings. Just flour and a little seasoning. I didn’t want to over-power the sauce so I kept the seasoning ‘tame’. I mixed the hot sauce with a little butter (I went with the medium heat version) and let it get all warm and cozy in a saucepan while the wings cooked. Everything came together in a delicious wing-after-wing experience. I can’t wait to make more De La Viuda hot sauce wings!

Spicy Fried Buffalo Wings

I was craving some battered, deep-fried wings with some serious kick to them. My cravings were more than satisfied with these spicy fried Buffalo wings. With no lack of flavor, these wings packed great traditional wing sauce and crunchy, perfectly-fried wings. These wings are finger-licking good, so make extra.

Don’t Toss. Brush.

I like to brush the sauce onto my spicy fried Buffalo wings. That may seem a bit odd. And it takes a few minutes to do. But, I think it’s better than tossing the wings in the sauce for one simple reason. Tossing the wings knocks that delicious, crunchy batter off the wings. I don’t want that. Nobody does. So I prefer to brush them with the sauce. Or, I’ll just put the sauce in a sauce dipping cup and serve it on the side, for dipping just like I would blue cheese dressing.

If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll break out my big deep fryer. But, if it’s just the two of us, I’ll fire up my Fry Daddy fryer. It’s the perfect size for both of us. It fries everything perfectly. And as an added bonus, it doesn’t use a lot of oil, which saves me money.

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.

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.

Course: Appetizer

Keyword: deep-fried, wings

Servings:

Calories: 4641kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

For the wings

3 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

For the sauce

2 cups Spicy Kentuckyaki Sauce
6 ounces pineapple juice
4 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup corn starch
¼ cup water

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.

Spicy Sweet and Sour Wings

These spicy sweet and sour wings are proof that it really doesn’t take a pantry full of ingredients to make a fantastic wing sauce. It truly doesn’t get any easier than this. Just open two bottles, pour into a bowl and mix. That’s it. And the cool part is that you get to decide how sweet you want it to be. Or how spicy. It’s impossible to mess up this sauce.

Sweet And Sour Needed Some Heat

I opted for Crystal Hot sauce in my spicy sweet and sour wings sauce. It’s got great flavor and just the right heat level for me. Sure, I’ve got hotter hot sauces around. If I was craving hotter wings, I would’ve used them. And if I’m more on the even milder side, I’ve got sauces for that too.

Schnucks Hot Buffalo Sauce Wings

I love it when I’m blown away by a bottled wing sauce. Specially if it was the ‘right price’. I grabbed some sauces from Schnucks, a grocery store chain in Illinois and the mid-west and could not have been happier. Schnucks hot buffalo sauce wings were spot-on what I wanted. Great flavor. Great heat. The right consistency. Just flat-out good stuff. I’d make wings with this sauce any day, any time.

Just Make Some Wings

It doesn’t really matter what kinda cooked wings you use when you make a batch of some Schnucks hot buffalo sauce wings. Frozen and baked. Deep-fried. Air fried. Grilled. Whatever. It really doesn’t matter. Just cook them up and get them sauced and get ready for some classic Buffalo wing goodness. And yeah, you might want some blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side to cool you off a bit. These wings do have some kick to them!

This sauce is great for dipping nuggets too!

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.

Nightmare Wings

Our neighbor gave me a bottle of dried powdered Carolina Reaper pepper. I knew exactly what I was going to make with it: Nightmare wings. What I didn’t know, though, was would I survive?

Well, I’m still here! These Nightmare wings definitely packed a serious kick. But beyond that, they also had great flavor. These wings aren’t just about the heat. And if you prefer, you can certainly adjust the spiciness to your tastes. Jalapeno powder itself has just the right kick, while habanero powder brings just a bit more.

A Serious Punch. Just What You Expected.

I enjoyed my Nightmare wings ‘dry’. That is, without sauce. The rub has such a great flavor that I really didn’t want to hide it under a sauce. Now, true, I did have plenty of Ranch dressing on hand for dipping. I needed something to help cool off the heat from the Carolina Reaper peppers. At 1.5 million Scoville units, they pack a serious punch.

I like to make my spice, rub and seasoning mixes in big batches and keep them in large bottles with easy-to-pour shaker lids.
