Torchbearer Chipotle Wing Sauce Wings

I’ve been contemplating how I would start this post for two days now. Not because I was searching for what to write, but because any time I started thinking about these Torchbearer Chipotle wing sauce wings I got hungry and had to go make something to eat.

We were in Gatlinburg, TN, not too long ago. I stopped in to All Sauced Up, a little gourmet grocery store (full of nice folk) on main (Parkway) street in downtown Gatlinburg. So I grabbed two bottles of wing sauce from Torchbearer Sauces, one spicy chipotle and one Buffalo wing. For one thing, I noticed was that both sauces were made from stuff I wouldn’t expect in a wing sauce, like mandarin oranges. Say what?

Well, say hello to absolutely unbelievably good. I coated these wings with Torchbearer chipotle wings sauce. Yep, it’s spicy. All in all, it’s got some of the best heat I’ve had. Not in-your-face-crying-tears-of-sadness heat, but good heat with fantastic flavor. The sauce comes out thick and sticks to your wings. Nope, it doesn’t roll off and create a sauce lake in your plate (or basket). It’s just spot-on great sauce.

Torchbearer Chipotle Wings

Spicy And Delicious

I could not get enough of these wings. Basically, I coated them first and then deep fried them. Tossed them in Torchbearer chipotle wing sauce and chowed down. So, go get you some of this sauce! You will not be sorry. At all. Oh, and the Torchbearer web site also recommends using this sauce on pork chops and in stir fry. Indeed, you don’t get that from any ole normal wing sauce.

Remember that if you have to refrigerate your open bottle of wing sauce to let it sit out on the counter for at least 30 minutes before using. You don’t want to ‘shock’ hot, just-cooked wings with a cold sauce.

Valentina Hot Sauce Buffalo Wings

Oh boy oh boy! It’s time for some good ole wing happiness! These Valentina hot sauce Buffalo wings are soooooo good I found myself licking the sauce bowl. First, and foremost, let’s talk flavor. Valentina hot sauce is crazy yummy. It has just the right pepper taste. Heat? Yes, it has some of that too but it’s really not that hot. It’ll wake you up but it won’t hurt you. Add that sauce to a few more ingredients and make a Buffalo sauce and you’ve got magic.

Valentina Hot Sauce Buffalo Wings

Absolutely Delicious Wings

Valentina hot sauce Buffalo wings sauce has the right consistency, sticking to your wings and staying there. Just enough. And if by chance some does drip off your wings and onto your plate, you’re going to want to sop it back up. Or heck, we’re friends here. Stick your finger in it and finish it off. You really don’t want to waste any. It’s delicious!

Wicked Sticky Wings

Warning: The term ‘sticky’ is a tremendous understatement when it comes to describing these Wicked Sticky wings. Think sticky molasses, and then think stickier. Don’t spill the sauce (like someone I know might have done) or you will be cleaning counter tops and sinks and what-not for days. Trust me. Now, on to the wings…

These wings are crazy good. Wicked heat. Sticky sweet. I made them crispy style on my Char-Broil Big Easy, but you can make them anyway you like, from smoking them to deep frying them. It’s the sauce that shines here, and boy is it messy great. Wicked sticky wings are called that for a reason.

Wicked Sticky Wings

Sticky Really Doesn’t Describe It

I went simple with the dipping sauce for these wicked sticky wings. Just straight-out-of-the-bottle chilled Ranch dressing. Nothing fancy, just something to offset the kick of the sauce just a bit.

Twice-Fried Air Fryer Wings

What started out as an experiment turned out to be some of the best wings I’ve made. These twice-fried air fryer wings have tremendous flavor. More than just if I’d just seasoned some wings and tossed them into the fryer. No sauce at first. An initial cool and an overnight stay in the fridge turns out almost like dry-brining the wings. The meat has much more flavor. The texture is still great. The skin is still crunchy. Saucing them after the second fry is optional in my opinion. They’re great without a sauce.

Twice-Fried Air Fryer Wings

More Flavor. More Better.

I recommend that you go heavy with the seasoning for the first fry of these twice-fried air fryer wings. That flavor will ‘soak’ in overnight in the fridge. You don’t need to season them again after that. You can add some after the last fry if you want. And you can add sauce at that time too, if you wish.

Tyson Caribbean Style Crispy Wings

I eat my share of wings. And then some. Usually, that means picking up a family pack of 3-4 pounds of fresh wings at the grocery store and cooking them up in whatever way I want. But, I also always keep some frozen, pre-made wings on hand for ‘wing emergencies’. And because, well, I like them. I picked up a bag of these Tyson Caribbean Style crispy wings and made them the other day. While they were cooking they gave off an aroma that got my mouth watering big time. Then I got to eating…

Tyson Caribbean Style Crispy Wings

Crunchy Battered Yumminess

Tyson Caribbean Style crispy wings are a variety of wing pieces that are seasoned and battered. Some pieces are big, some are small and some are in-between. All you have to do is toss them into the air fryer or oven for a little bit. They come out hot and crispy. They have a hint of spiciness to them, with a slight hint of island-inspired flavors. The seasoning is not overwhelming. It’s very nice and right down the middle of the road as far as not being too strong. You could easily serve these wings to a crowd for the big game, though you’d probably want to make them in the oven since you can only do a small amount at a time in the air fryer.

A Little Extra Cook Time

I like to cook these wings a few more minutes longer than the bag states for the normal cooking time. It could just be my air fryer or oven. But I do like crunchier wings, and that extra time gets me to wing happiness.

Not Just For Football Games

You can easily cook up a batch of these wings and serve them with your favorite sides for a meal. Don’t just think of them as handheld goodies for the big game. They’re great any time! So make some Caribbean rice and maybe some black beans and enjoy!

Schnucks Hatch Pepper Wing Sauce Wings

We stopped at a Schnucks grocery store on a recent trip to Illinois. I’d never been to a Schnucks. And boy oh boy did I ever hit the wing sauce jackpot there! Schnucks has their own brand of bottled sauces. All sorts of flavors. I grabbed one of each and when I got home I got to making some wings (and saucing them!). Sadly, there is an end to my journey and it came today when I made some Schnucks Hatch Pepper wing sauce wings. The last bottle of sauce in my pantry. And definitely one of the best!

Schnucks Hatch Pepper Wing Sauce Wings

Crazy Delicious

I might have been living under a rock, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I was introduced to hatch peppers. I loved them at first bite. So much so that I ordered a case of them! They are so flavorful. Without a tremendous amount of heat. It’s that delicate balance that I really enjoy. And that’s why I loved these Schnucks Hatch Pepper Wing Sauce wings so much. The right amount of hatch pepper flavor. A little heat (but not too much). All in a sauce with the right consistency. This is a delicious sauce and a great way to end (for now) my trip thru the fine wing sauces from Schnucks.

Da Kine Hawaiian Original Dry Rub Seasoning Wings

The best things about dry wings are the super-crunchy skin and the wonderful combination of flavors. Although you can get great flavor in a wet wing, the skin doesn’t like to stay crunchy too long in the sauce. About half the wings I make are dry. Just like with wet wings, the combinations are almost endless. Today I made some Da Kine Hawaiian Original Dry Rub Seasoning wings in my air fryer. They were truly enjoyable.

Da Kine Hawaiian Original Dry Rub Seasoning Wings

Say Aloha To Greatness

Da Kine Hawaiian Original Dry Rub is a wonderful combination of saltiness along with hints of garlic, lemon pepper and coffee. Yep, coffee. It’s that essence of coffee that really adds amazing depth to these wings. I couldn’t get enough of the seasoning. I liked it so much that I seasoned my wings three times. Once before cooking. Again after cooking. And then again after plating.

You can make dry wings using any technique you like. Just grab a bottle of seasoning and got nuts with it!

Orange Wings

The idea for these orange chicken wings came to me quite easily. I had made a big, huge batch of orange chicken on my Char-Broil Big Easy and had a good amount of orange chicken sauce leftover.  Any time I have leftover sauce I think wings. The sauce has the perfect citrus flavor, with just a bit of heat and just a bit of sweetness. The perfect balance of flavors, making every wing a great taste experience. I loved it and could actually just drink the sauce.

Orange Wings

Orange Wings. Yes, Orange.

I recommend only using fresh oranges for these orange chicken wings. After zesting one orange, juice it and then juice a few others until you get 3 cups. In a pinch, or when oranges aren’t in season, use a good quality orange juice. You want get that extra punch you get from the zest, but you’ll still end up with fantastic wings.

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!

Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour Chicken Wings

There are those that would argue that these Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour chicken wings are ‘just’ fried chicken. Yep, they are. They’re right. Well, not about the ‘just’ part though. These wings are delicious no matter what you call them. To ‘Buffalo-ize’ them I serve them with some sauce on the side for dunking. There, now we’re all happy!

Kentucky Kernel Seasoned Flour Chicken Wings

Through Thick Or Thin

Many Buffalo wings are battered and fried. Some have a thick coating. Some thin. These Kentucky Kernel Seasoned chicken wings are somewhere in the middle. They’re not overly battered so you might call them grandma’s fried chicken. But they aren’t so lightly battered that you’d call them traditional Buffalo wings either . Yes, I know, some folks don’t batter their Buffalo wings… but some do!

These wings have a wonder flavor. The seasoning in the batter is perfect. Not spicy, just tasty. Great just as they are, right out of the fryer. Even better, I think, dunked in Buffalo wing sauce. Not tossed in it, though. Tossing the chicken in sauce knocks off that crunchy batter and makes it soggy. So I go for the dunk!

Oh and yes, you can make these wings instead, if you prefer. I went for the deep-fry because that’s what I prefer!

Instructions

For the Wings

  • Dunk the wings in the milk. Get them well-coated then shake off any excess.
  • Add the wings to the fry mix and turn to coat well. I like to press the wings into the mix several times to make sure I don't get any 'bald spots'.
  • Heat 3" of oil in a Dutch oven or deep fryer to 350 F.
  • Working in batches if necessary, fry the wings 8-10 minutes or until they reach 165 F. Transfer to a rack over a baking sheet or a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve.

Notes

Serve with your favorite dipping sauce or wing sauce on the side, if desired.
I like to put my milk in a short glass and then dunk the wings into it. You can also add it to a bowl and just roll the wings around to get them well-coated.
Sure, you can bake your wings instead of deep-frying them! Just follow the instructions on the package.
