Ass Kickin’ Habanero Wings

Sometimes you come across a product with a name that implies it might be spicy only to find out that it’s not. Well, let me tell you straight up. These Ass Kickin’ Habanero wings do not lie. They do truly kick your butt. But they do it in style: with flavor. As much as I don’t like to be in pain, these wings brought on the best kind of pain possible.

Bringing the Heat

I admit it, I went kinda light on the sauce the first time I made some Ass Kickin’ Habanero wings. Hey, I’m no dummy. I tasted it from the bottle first. I loved the flavors. It’s like a traditional Buffalo sauce but oh so much spicier. And tastier. I definitely needed some blue cheese dressing to help me cool off from these wings.

The folks over at Bone Suckin’ sauces make a mighty tasty honey and habanero wings sauce. Give it a try too!

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings, and saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

My Trusty Wingman

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!

Wing-Time Mild Buffalo Wings

The Buffalo-style sauces from Wing-Time have always been a big hit with me. They always have the right heat level, from the hot to these Wing-Time mild Buffalo wings. They always have fantastic Buffalo-inspired flavors. That perfect balance of vinegar, butter and spices. Always finger-licking good, I’ve always been a fan. I enjoy my wings tossed in this sauce. Or dipped in it. Doesn’t matter how I get it onto my wings, it’s good!

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 of the best wing sauces around. These Wing-Time mild 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 mild Buffalo wing sauce now.

Update: The last time I was at Jungle Jim’s outside of Cincinnati, Ohio, I was able to get more Wing-Time sauces!

Brrrrrrrrrr!

Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that times getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.

So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.

Also try some Wing-Time honey bourbon wings.
