The Dirty Buffalo Sweet BBQ Wing Sauce Wings

It’s not that I didn’t want traditional Buffalo-style wings for lunch. But I did want a little break from them. I wanted a little sweetness. But not too sweet. I wasn’t looking for dessert wings! I’m a huge fan of BBQ sauced-wings. Any chance I get I tell people they shouldn’t just peruse the wing sauce section of their grocery store. They should spend some time over at the BBQ sauces too. You might find something great and make something almost as good as these The Dirty Buffalo Sweet BBQ wing sauce wings. These are mighty tasty wings and a great alternative to your usual spicy Buffalo wings. They’re definitely the kind of wings you could serve to the “no heat please” crowd.

Make Some Wings Your Way

I used my air fryer to make my standard batch of air fryer wings then sauced them. You can make The Dirty Buffalo Sweet BBQ wing sauce wings any way you want. Just don’t use anything that might overpower the sauce. Don’t go crazy with any seasoning. You don’t need to make them sweeter and you don’t need to add any heat. Well, ok you could add a bit of heat but just a hint maybe.

If sweet (and a bit of heat) is your thing, also try my honey hot sauce wings!

Instructions

  • 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 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.
