Pineapple Glazed Wings

Yowsa. I was looking for a great, homemade Asian-inspired wing sauce and did I ever find it. These pineapple glazed wings were absolutely fantastic. I could not stop eating them, and more, I couldn’t stop licking the sauce off my fingers. The sauce is a little sweet, but not overly sweet. It has a wonderful hint of pineapple, (thanks to real juice!) which I love. Add a little garlic and ginger and you’ve got a great wing sauce!

Pineapple Glazed Wings

Fruity Sweetness In Every Bite

The sauce on these pineapple glazed wings isn’t just great on wings. Nope. It also makes for the perfect glaze on grilled pork tenderloin or smoked pork ribs. Or chicken. It’s also great as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets.

Kick It Up. If You Want To.

If you like your sauce to have a bit of a kick to it, add some dried red pepper flake. You’ll get a sauce that looks similar to a chili sauce and is just as yummy!

I store my leftover homemade sauces in squeeze bottles. If refrigerated, I set them out an hour before using so they come to room temperature. You don’t want to put cold sauce on hot wings!

Also try my wicked sticky wings!

Raspberry Chipotle Wings

Oh, goodness me! Raspberry chipotle wings are my newest food addiction. The sauce is just crazy good. Great berry flavor and a nice helping of heat. And a little bit of sweet to temper that kick just a bit. I used great fresh local raspberries, but frozen would work just fine too.

Raspberry Chipotle Wings

One Great Sauce

The raspberry chipotle sauce would also be great on a grilled pork tenderloin, or just grilled chicken. I wouldn’t be afraid to add a bit more of the chipotle if you’re into heat like I am. Just make sure that when you strain the sauce you don’t let any seeds through. It takes a little work but those seeds aren’t something you want in the sauce.

Roasted Red Chile Wings

One of the things I love about being addicted to cooking and eating chicken wings is that 99 times out of 100, every new recipe I try is just absolutely fantastic. I dream about chicken wings. A lot. And these roasted red chile wings, well, they were crazy good and certainly dream-worthy.

I love chile peppers for the pepper flavor. And although I also love spicy, my number one love is that great pepper flavor, and the roasted red chile jelly from Albukirky Seasonings brings that and then some without scary spiciness.

Roasted Red Chile Wings

Great Rubs… And Sauces, Too!

The Albukirky Seasonings red chile BBQ rub (and also the green chile BBQ rub) has quickly become my go-to wing rub. It’s just perfect on wings (and other things, too, but I really, really enjoy it on wings). Combined with the red chile jelly (which I thinned just a bit) the roasted red chile wings made for a lunch that I won’t soon forget, but I will soon make again.

Also try my roasted green chile wings.

Salt and Pepper Wings

Oh my goodness. I’m a big-time chicken wing fan. Any time, anywhere, I’ll eat wings. With darn near anything on them. But sesame oil infused with garlic, onion and jalapeno? I mean, it sounded good but not something I’d ever had on wings. And wow! Was I ever surprised as to just how great these salt and pepper wings were.

Oh you get the salt and lots of black pepper, but then you get this wonderful Asian-inspired flavor that is impossible to stop eating. The sauce is the perfect balance between sharp sesame oil, spicy pepper and garlic and onion. No one flavor overpowers the rest. It’s very, very good.

Salt and Pepper Wings

So Easy, Yet So Darned Good!

Next time I fry a chicken I’m coating it in the same sauce as I used for these salt and pepper wings. And next time I make these salt and pepper wings I might double the sauce because it’s seriously addictingly good.

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.

Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo Fried Wings

These Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo fried wings are dangerously close to being ‘just’ fried chicken. But, oh my goodness me, let me tell you just how great these wings are. The breading is out-of-this-world fantastic. Such a wonderful crunch and seasoned to absolute perfection. With a nice essence of Buffalo Wing flavor and spiciness. Not overpowering, but there. These wings are truly epic. I could eat these little beauties all day long and that’s no lie! For more Buffalo wing-inspired goodness, drizzle the wings with Buffalo sauce right before serving, or serve some on the side for dipping!

Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo Wings

Add Sauce. If You Want To.

For more Buffalo flavor, toss (gently) your Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo fried wings in some good ole Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing sauce.

You can also serve your favorite sauce on the side and dip the wings. That’ll help keep that crunchy delicious batter in place.

Spicy Honey Wings

A little sweet. A little heat. Those are the keys to a great wing sauce. These spicy honey wings have the perfect combination of both. Even with my Fire-Eater rub and a healthy dose of hot sauce, they’re plenty sweet. Perfect for dipping in a bowl of cold Ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Spicy Honey Wings

This Is What Sweet Heat Is All About

I find myself sitting here and just staring at the picture of the spicy honey wings. Man, they sure were pretty, and they sure were delicious. I could easily make another batch for lunch today. I think I will. All of the ingredients to make the rub and sauce are pantry staples, and I always keep plenty of fresh wings around because you never know when you might want a few wings.

Smokestack’s Wings

If you like traditional Buffalo chicken wings, but are looking for a little twist on the classic, then I guarantee you will love Smokestack’s wings. I did. A lot. The wings are dusted with a wonderful rub that has a nice herbaceous side to it. It’s the sauce, though, that is the kicker, especially if you love Old Bay seasoning. And I do. A lot.

Smokestack's Wings

Amazing Flavor In Every Bite

If you’re a diehard lover of Old Bay seasoning, use it as the rub instead of the ingredients listed. You can’t get enough Old Bay, in my opinion. No matter whether you make the seasoning below or use Old Bay, Smokestack’s wings are out-of-this-world fantastic!

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.

Spicy Herb and Garlic Wings

I’m not sure what happened. Something came over me when I was making the sauce for these spicy herb and garlic wings. The aroma was crazy good. My mouth was watering. I was so anxious to try it on wings. Though I admit to having quite a few ‘samples’ of the sauce as the wings cooked…. This stuff is great. Savory, herby, garlicky with just the perfect amount of heat. All thanks to a package of soup mix from Lipton. Who would’ve thought?

Spicy Herb and Garlic Wings

My Goodness Are These Wings Ever Addicting

There’s absolutely nothing I’d change about these spicy herb and garlic wings. I really liked them. If you aren’t a fan of heat, you can definitely leave out the cayenne. But I liked it. It’s not overpowering by any stretch. And of course you can add more, or use less.

You’ll enjoy these wings as much as I did.

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.

Spicy Sweet and Sour Wing

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.
