Wing-Time Hot Buffalo Wings

There are a lot of Buffalo-inspired wing sauces out there. You see them every day, every where it seems. Well, Wing-Time’s is different. It brings more than heat. It brings flavor. And lots of it 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.

Wing-Time Hot Buffalo Wings

Gone? Or Not Gone?

I gotta say, I’m not sure the makers of Wing-Time sauces are still around. I’ve tried contacting them but no luck. 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.

Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings

If you’re not a fan of oven-cooked wings, these Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch wings are definitely going to make a fan out of you and quick. They did me. I’m usually a fried wing kinda guy. But these wings not only came out juicy and crazy flavorful, the skins were perfectly crunchy to boot. These are very addicting wings and they’re so easy there’s no excuse to not make them. Often.

Flavor-Packed Baked Wings

The packet of seasoning for Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Ranch Wings says it makes 2 pounds of wings. But it also says that for more flavor, use only 1 pound of wings. That’s the route I went. I figured, why would I want less flavor? Well, flavor is exactly what I got. So I recommend going the 1 pound route.

Of course, if you want to serve your wings with a dipping sauce, you’ll have to use Hidden Valley Ranch dressing!

Deep-Fried Dry Wings

Oh how I do love dry wings. Normally, that means ‘just’ seasoning wings hot out off the grill or out of the air-fryer. This time I decided to up my game and try deep-fried dry wings. There’s nothing fancy or complicated going on here. Just a simple coating with tons of flavor, fried until crispy golden, and tossed in more seasoning. Every bite is full of flavor. I love these wings.

Deep-Fried Dry Wings

Simple. And Delicious.

I like to keep my deep-fried dry wings as simple as possible. Most of the time I’m making these for lunch so I don’t have a lot of time for fru-fru batters or complicated techniques. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want great wings. If I’m making wings you can bet they’re going to be great.

Have It Your Way

You can use just about any seasoning you want for these wings. It doesn’t have to be a wing seasoning either. Burger seasonings, chicken, you name it, they all work here. As long as you like the seasoning, you’ll like the wings!

Kirkwood Buffalo Style Chicken Wings

I’m a fresh wing kinda guy. Usually. Sometimes I don’t have time to prepare wings from scratch. Or worse, I can’t find fresh wings in my grocery store. Or I just want to try something new. I was in Aldi the other day, picking up fresh wings (they have great fresh wings). I decided to check out the freezer cases before I headed to the checkout. And there they were. Kirkwood Buffalo style chicken wings. They looked good. I bought them. And I made them. And you know what? They were good!

Kirkwood Buffalo Style Chicken Wings

Actual Wings. No Weird Stuff.

I’ve purchased some weird looking frozen wings. They were pre-battered, like these. But they didn’t look like wings. Kirkwood Buffalo style chicken wings are pre-battered. And they look like wings. Because they are actual wings. They’re sauced just right, in a sauce with good Buffalo flavor and a hint of heat. They’re meaty. I liked them. A lot.

Seven Servings. LOL.

The 22 ounce bag of wings I bought said it was 7 servings. Maybe somewhere in an alternate universe of really tiny people. Not me. I’d call them 4 servings at most. If you’re having a big party and need a bunch of wings, these are going to go over great. Just make sure you buy more than you think you’ll need. They’re good and people will want more. You bet I did.

I baked my wings on a silicone mat. I tried what the instructions on the bag stated and sprayed a baking pan with non-stick spray, but found that the wings still stuck. The silicone mat was much better.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • If you have a silicone baking mat, line a baking sheet with the mat and add the wings. If you do not have a silicone baking mat, liberally spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and add the wings. I prefer to start with the bone-side of the wings down (for flats). For the drums it doesn't matter.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Gently turn the wings. I use a fork or rubber spatula for this. I've found that tongs will tend to tear the coating/skin if the wings stick any.
  • Bake another 10-15 minutes or until turning lightly golden in color and the wings internal temperature is 165 F.
  • Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. They will still be piping hot so be careful!

Copycat Wingstop Lemon Pepper Wings

Yowsa. I bit into these copycat Wingstop Lemon Pepper wings thinking that’d be good, sure. But I had no idea how much I’d really like them. Crunchy, crispy skin. Not overly battered. Not too much like grandma’s fried chicken. The sauce, easy as heck to make, did me in. I mean, seriously, it’s just butter and lemon pepper seasoning but it was gooood! I loved it. It’s definitely finger-licking good and then some!

Lemon Pepper And Butter: The Perfect Combination

When I make these copycat Wingstop Lemon Pepper wings again (which will be soon), I’m adding more lemon pepper seasoning. No, this isn’t the first time I’ve used it, but for some reason, I found the combination of the lemony goodness and butter to make for some super-great wings.

Air Fryer Holy Voodoo Wings

Grillers and BBQ smokers all over tout how great Meat Church’s seasonings are. Me, I always make wings first with any new seasoning I pick up. I don’t sauce them. I don’t bury them in other flavors. My favorite is making dry wings. And I found these air fryer Holy Voodoo wings to be absolutely delicious! The seasoning is slight sweet with both white and brown sugar. It’s a bit salty, but I do tend to like salty seasonings. And it’s just a tad spicy.

Air Fryer Holy Voodoo Wings

Double-Seasoned

I season my air fryer Holy Voodoo wings a bit before putting them into the air fryer. Now, because of the sugars in the seasoning I don’t go nuts with it. But I want that flavor before to be added before and after cooking the wings. You can actually skip this step but.. why?

Try all of the seasonings from Meat Church on wings. Or whatever you’re cooking.

There’s nothing fancy about the air fryer that I use. But it works great on wings. I use it a lot. And I do mean a lot. Mostly for wings. I know. Shocking. Cleanup is fairly easy. It easily holds enough wings for two people. Or one me when I’m really wing-hungry.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Season the wings with the Meat Church Holy Voodoo seasoning. Don't go crazy with it as the high heat from the air fryer can burn the sugars. You want enough to taste the great flavors, but don't drown the wings in it.
  • Place wings in fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 350 F.
  • 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 more seasoning, to taste. Now's a good time to not be shy with the seasoning.
  • Let cool slightly (the wings will crisp as they cool) then serve.

Notes

Note: If your barbecue 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.

Simple Truth Organic Mild Buffalo Wings

I wanted to like all of the wing sauces from Simple Truth, Kroger’s line of organic products. But I could not bring myself to do it. I missed flavor. I wanted more. And, I wanted thicker. Sorry, but these Simple Truth Organic Mild Buffalo wings just didn’t quite get it for me. They were close, and they weren’t bad, they just didn’t wow me.

Simple Truth Organic Mild Buffalo Wings

Well… They Aren’t Perfect…

I suppose I should cut these Simple Truth Organic Mild Buffalo wings a bit of slack. The sauce does have nothing but good ingredients in it, and you can’t fault that. But oh, do I wish it was thicker and had more flavor. Then I would’ve been happy. Right now, well, I’m kind of sad.

Four Sixes Top Hand Hickory BBQ Wings

If you watch the TV series Yellowstone you’ve heard of Four Sixes. Now the famous Texas ranch has put out a line of BBQ sauces and seasonings and all sorts of stuff. Me, I got wings on my mind and not horses, so I grabbed a bottle of all of their sauces at my local grocery store and got to making me some hand-held grub. These Four Sixes Top Hand Hickory BBQ wings hit the spot. Heck, I even thought for a moment there I was gathered around the chuck wagon on a hot Texas evening after a long day of cow herdin’. Good ole BBQ flavor. Lightly smoky. Lightly sweet. And just darned good.

Four Sixes Top Hand Hickory BBQ Wings

Get To Saucin’

I gotta admit, I’m not into lightly saucing my wings when it comes to BBQ sauce. Specially when it’s as good as this sauce is. So I cook up my wings. However I want. Sometimes it’s over an open fire like cowboys would. Or in an air fryer, like no cowboy would. Then I toss or brush them with sauce. Lots of sauce. I like my Four Sixes Top Hand Hickory BBQ wings saucy!

Ranch on the Ranch

I kinda get the feelin’ that cowboys don’t carry around bottles of Ranch dressing while they’re working the herds. But I gotta have Ranch with my BBQ wings. I love that combination of cool Ranch and sweet bold BBQ. So if I was a cowboy, I’d hide a bottle under my saddle. Well, maybe not. Nobody likes hot Ranch.

Air Fryer Maple Wings

Yowsa. Now we’re talking about some seriously devour-worthy wings. These air fryer maple wings are beyond finger-lickingly good. As soon as I took my first bite I instantly regretted not making more wings and sauce. The wings are your standard air fryer wings. A little seasoning and cooked until the skin is crispy. The sauce, though, is the star of the show. The right sweetness. The right umami thing. And just a kiss of heat. These are great wings!

Air Fryer Maple Wings

Step Up Your Teriyaki Game

You can use whatever teriyaki sauce you like to make these air fryer maple wings. But for me, my go-to teriyaki sauce is from the fine folks over at Bourbon Barrel Food. They have two versions actually. The Kentuckyaki sauce is a wonderfully bourbon-infused sauce that has such a great, deep flavor. It’s great anywhere I need a teriyaki sauce. And of course their spicy version is … spicier! It also makes for a great sauce for these wings!

What? Not just for wings?

Now, I can’t say I’ve tried it, but I’ve read where a lot of people love this sauce on more than wings. Gasp! What? You put a wing sauce on something other than wings??? ! Ok, well, if that’s your thing… go for it. Try it on pizza. Or ice cream. I don’t care. I use mine on wings.
