Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple Wings

It’s as if someone at Frank’s RedHot was monitoring my dreams. Taking notes. Then, they created a sauce especially for me. Plenty of sweet, and plenty of heat. The stuff dreams are made of. And maple. Oh, maple. That wonderful aroma, with hints of vanilla and caramel. All I had to do was cook wings and add sauce to make my dreams come true. Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple wings are the kind of wings that I wake up every day for. I could not get enough of them!

Frank's RedHot Spicy Maple Wings

More. Or Less.

I made a batch of my easy air fryer wings. A little seasoning, and cook. Nothing fancy, nothing crazy. I left the flavors up to the sauce. These Frank’s RedHot Spicy Maple wings don’t need any help. You can put a little sauce for wonderful hints of sweetness, maple and spiciness. Or you can load up on the sauce and get a lot of everything. Your call. That’s why there’s a tomorrow. Do it one way today, and another tomorrow.

This sauce is also crazy good on chicken and waffles. Like big time crazy good.

Instructions

  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer’s recommendation.
  • Combine the baking powder and wing seasoning. Sprinkle over the wings and toss to coat.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it’s hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
  • Cook at 360 F for 12 minutes for large wings, 10 minutes for smaller ones.
  • Carefully flip the wings (rotate the drumettes if they are standing) and cook another 12 minutes again (10 minutes for smaller wings) at 375 F.
  • Flip the wings one last time. Increase the temperature to 390 F and cook another 6 minutes (4 minutes for smaller wings).
  • Remove and toss with your favorite wing sauce.  Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.

Notes

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

Wing It Sweet ‘N Tangy Wings

It’s not unusual for me to open some wing sauce, make a batch or two of wings with it, and put the half-full bottle back into the fridge for wings for some later day. Well, I made some Wing It Sweet ‘N Tangy wings and let me tell you, the bottle is getting finished before I move on. This sauce is so dang good no way do I want it sitting around. It’d be rude. Sweet thanks to molasses, tangy thanks to mustard and vinegary, this sauce seems BBQ-like but with so many twists and turns that it’s definitely different and outrageously good. This is easily one of my favorite sauces of any kind.

So Many Flavors In Every Bite

These Wing It Sweet ‘N Tangy wings had a slight hint of heat to them. Not much. And a little Asian-inspiration from soy sauce. Yep, all sorts of things went into this sauce and they all work together perfectly. I so regret not ordering more of this sauce because it will be fantastic on roasted chicken and smoked ribs. Well, time to remedy that and order some more!

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.

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.

Sweet and Sour Spicy Wings

A friend of mine sent me this recipe for sweet and sour spicy wings. The recipe has been in his family for years and years and is always a big hit. You know it’s good if you end up making it over and over. This is one great wing sauce. And truthfully, it’d make for a great BBQ sauce too. It’s a bit sweet. It’s a bit sour. And it’s a bit spicy. All in perfect balance. This is a great, finger-licking good sauce that you’ll want to make again and again.

Flavor Perfection

A lot of my favorite flavors are in this sauce. Including celery salt. Anything with celery salt in it is going to make me happy. But it’s not overpowering. Like the other seasonings, it’s there and you taste it. It contributes to the overall flavor. It’s just one of the things that make these sweet and sour spicy wings so great.

Bring The Heat. Or Don’t.

You can decide how this sauce ends up being. Just adjust the hot sauce amount. If you’re not a fan of spicy start with 2 tablespoons first. Don’t worry, it won’t be crazy hot. Taste it. Add more if you want more of a kick.
