Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Wings

Well, here I go again. Another wing variation that I just cannot get enough of. Give me an excuse to use a lot of Parmesan and I’m going to go all-in. And that’s what I did with these crispy air fryer Parmesan wings. Perfectly crunchy bite-thru skin. Like crazy perfect. Great by itself, but add an easy garlic-flavored Parmesan topping and I’m going full bulldog on it. I loved these wings. They are perfect!

Crispy Air Fryer Parmesan Wings

Oh So Cheesy!

The original recipe for these crispy air fryer Parmesan wings called for adding chives. I love chives. Chives would’ve been great on these wings. But sadly, no chives were to be found near me. So I went with just a little parsley, mostly for color. I was ok without the chives since I was in town for the Parmesan!

Nice and Crispy

You can use the approach in this recipe for making crispy skin on any air fryer wing recipe. Whether you are using a store-bought seasoning or just salt and pepper, add a bit of baking soda before cooking the wings.

Copycat Plucker’s Medium Buffalo Wings

It’s a tremendous understatement to say that I love Plucker’s wing sauces. I’ve tried many of their bottled sauces and they are all absolutely fantastic. I devoured my last bottle of medium Buffalo sauce, so I had to resort to making a copycat Plucker’s medium Buffalo wings sauce. Oh, and all was right in the world again! The perfect amount of heat, just enough to wake me up but not so much to make me cry. Wonderful traditional wing flavor. These are the wings that are destined to disappear in no time.

Perfect Heat and Flavor

I cut the recipe down so I could enjoy a small batch of copycat Plucker’s medium Buffalo wings for my lunch. No point in heating up my huge restaurant-style deep fryer for just a handful of wings. So, I used my Fry Daddy fryer instead. This little fryer gets a workout in my house. It’s the perfect size for a small batch of wings.

I usually reach for the Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce when I make anything Buffalo-style. And sometimes I’ll go for Crystal Hot Sauce, which has a wonderful Louisiana-inspired flavor. You want a traditional cayenne sauce, and not something flavored like a habanero mango hot sauce!

Copycat KFC Honey BBQ Wings

These copycat KFC honey BBQ wings are some of the best deep-fried wings I’ve had. The coat is crazy crunchy and flavorful. It ‘bites’ thru perfectly. No fear of taking a bite and having the entire batter come off at one. And the sauce? My goodness me. The sauce starts with a store-bought sauce, adds a few ingredients, and ends up being just out-of-this-world great. I’d use the sauce on anything that requires a good, thick, smoky BBQ sauce. On these wings it’s perfect. These are finger-licking good wings if ever there were any!

These Wings Are Crazy Good

If you don’t follow Todd Wilbur, you should. He is the master of everything copycat. From restaurant dishes, like this copycat KFC honey BBQ wings recipe, to copycat grocery store items, and a whole lot more, Todd has it going on. Like with everything else of his I’ve made, he nailed this recipe and technique perfectly. I loved these wings. They’re a real winner.

If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll break out my big deep fryer. But, if it’s just me, I’ll fire up my Fry Daddy fryer. It’s the perfect size. It fries everything perfectly. And as an added bonus, it doesn’t use a lot of oil, which saves me money. And that means I can buy more wing!

Instructions

For the sauce (make first)

  • Combine all ingredients in a medium saucepan over low heat. Bring to a simmer and continue simmering for 20 minutes, stirring often.
  • Keep sauce warm until ready to use.

For the wings

  • Pre-heat oven to 350 F. Lightly spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

  • Shake off any excess flour. Working in batches if needed, fry the wings 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Brush the wings with the BBQ sauce. You can also gently toss the wings in the sauce, but I prefer to brush the sauce onto the wings.

  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

Serve your wings with extra sauce on the side for dipping!

Copycat Hooter’s Hot Buffalo Wings

It’s hard to beat Hooter’s for good ole hot wings. If you don’t have a restaurant nearby you have three options. One, move. Two, order some of their breading and sauces online and make the original yourself. Or three, make this copycat Hooter’s hot buffalo Wings from scratch. Any option will do, but I have to admit that these wings came out spot-on like what I’ve had at the restaurant. They’re hot but not crazy hot. They’re breaded perfectly. They taste wonderful and they disappear in no time. That’s the sign of darned good wings.

Copycat Hooter's Hot Buffalo Wings

Great Heat and Great Flavor

I wouldn’t do anything different about these copycat Hooter’s hot Buffalo wings. Except maybe more of them, more often. You can tone down the heat but leaving out the cayenne and make a medium version of these wings, but then they wouldn’t be hot wings! Doh!

If it’s just me or the two of us, I’ll use my lil ole trusty Fry Daddy fryer to make these wings. I can fit a good 8 pieces in without any fear of over-crowding. As an added bonus, it doesn’t use much oil and it is super easy to clean up. It sure makes deep frying a breeze.

Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

The first time I tried the Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings at Buffalo Wild Wings I was blown away. It was in West Chester, Ohio, and I remember it like it was yesterday because I absolutely loved the combination of coconut, curry and just a bit of heat. I could’ve just licked the sauce off the wings, but then we were in a public place and that would’ve been awkward. Ever since I’ve been looking for a copycat of BW3’s sauce, and here it is. Now I can lick the sauce off the wings in the privacy of my own home with this copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai curry wings!

Copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

One Fantastically Good Sauce

I found the Shan chicken white karahi mix in the Pakistani section of our international supermarket. If you can’t find it nearby you can always order it online. It’s what makes this copycat Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry wings so special.

I could not find Thai chile peppers in our supermarket, so I had to go to plan B. I picked up a few packages of dried cayenne peppers, reconstituted them, and chopped them up. It was a great save.

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!

For the sauce

Instructions

For the wings

For the sauce (start cooking when you start the wings)

  • Mince the peppers and then pound in a mortar and pestle or grind into a paste using the side of a knife blade. You want the peppers to form a paste.
  • Place the peppers and remaining ingredients into a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Stir until the ingredients are combined.
  • Reduce heat to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring occasionally, while the wings are cooking. You want the sauce to thicken slightly.
  • NOTE: I could not find Thai peppers at our grocery store. You can substitute jalapenos or seranos for more heat. Preferably you want to use a red pepper. I bought dried cayenne peppers, which I then reconstituted in hot water for 1 hour. I then removed the seeds and minced the peppers into a paste.

Notes

The sauce is worth the effort.

Copycat Anchor Bar Buffalo Wings

There are three things I can sit down at a table and eat all day long. They are (in no particular order): peel and eat shrimp, a crab boil, and copycat Anchor Bar Buffalo wings. Great food is even better when you can eat it with your hands. These wings have just the right amount of heat, the perfect vinegar hit, and a buttery flavor that is just the perfect combination. And, bite after bite, I cannot get enough of these wings.

Copycat Anchor Bar Buffalo Wings

The Classic

There’s nothing fancy or complicated going on with this copycat Anchor Bar Buffalo wings recipe. Season some wings and fry them. No batter required. No overnight brining. The sauce is easy, straightforward and packs nothing but flavor with just the right amount of spiciness. Make extra, because you’ll find yourself eating the afternoon away with these wings. They are perfect for watching the big game. Or the not-so-big-game for that matter.

You’ll find a number of variations on this recipe all over the internet. This is my preferred approach. From my understanding it best duplicates the original recipe from the famed bar. It sure as heck tastes great, I do know that!

Cool Ranch Doritos Wings

I did it. I made Cool Ranch Doritos wings. Darn right I marked this day on my calendar. Because it was a glorious day. A day of wing greatness. Crunchy. A touch of Cool Ranch seasoning. These double-cooked wings came out fantastic. And different. You can’t ignore the ‘wow’ factor when these goodies come out of the fryer!

Cool Ranch Doritos Wings

Double-Cooked Greatness

Unlike normal breaded wings, these Cool Ranch Doritos wings are double-cooked. First they are cooked ‘naked’. No batter. Doesn’t matter how they are cooked as long as they are done. Oven. Air fryer. Grill. Whatever. However. Doesn’t matter. Then you batter them in Dorito greatness and deep-fry them just long enough to warm up the wings and get the coating nice and golden brown delicious.

Choose Your Dorito

I went with Cool Ranch Doritos because they are tied for being my favorite. Tied with taco. And nacho. You can use any Dorito flavor you want. Or do some of each. Make a Dorito-coated wing flight! Score!

Instructions

  • Cook the wings the day ahead. You don't want to cook them naked, or just lightly seasoned. I recommend grilling, smoking, deep-frying, baking or air-frying. Do not use any batter or coating. You can season them but don't over-do it as you don't want to drown out the Ranch Doritos coating. When the wings are done, place in an air-tight container and refrigerate overnight.
  • Heat 2-3" of oil to 350 F in a deep fryer or Dutch oven. While the oil is heating set the wings out at room temperature.
  • Working in batches, place the chips into a blender and process until they have a breadcrumb-like consistency.
  • In a large bowl, combine the processed chips, flour, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  • In a small bowl or pie plate, whisk together the eggs.
  • Working in batches as needed, dip the wings in the eggs. Shake off any excess.
  • Dip wings in breading and coat evenly. Shake off any excess.
  • Again dip the wings in the eggs. Shake off any excess.
  • One more time into the breading. Shake off any excess.
  • Deep-fry the wings for 3 minutes. You're just getting the coating nice and crunchy and golden brown and heating the wings.
  • Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve hot.

Chipotle Blackberry Wings

You know I love chicken wings. Any time, any way. So I was really looking forward to these wings. I made chipotle blackberry wings on the Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer, but you can make them in the oven, on a grill, or just deep fry them. The sauce is what makes these wings fantastic. A nice sweetness and a nice smoky heat. Perfect.

Chipotle Blackberry Wings

Kick It Up!

I like a little kick to my wings. If you do too, don’t be afraid to add more chipotles when you make your chipotle blackberry wings. Or add a few good shakes of hot sauce to the wing sauce.

I did serve these wings with a dipping sauce, but honestly, I could’ve skipped it. Nothing needed to be added to them that could possibly make them any better.

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!

Chipotle Barbecue Wings

These chipotle barbecue wings are proof of two things. One, Tabasco Chipotle Sauce is absolutely the tastiest, smoky pepper sauce you can find. And two, with just two ingredients you can make one of the best wing sauces you’ve had. Mild on the heat side, and full-power on the taste side, I could not have been happier with these wings.

Chipotle Barbecue Wings

The Easiest Sauce You’ll Ever Make

The sauce on these chipotle barbecue wings is definitely not ‘just’ for wings. Oh me, is it ever good on grilled or smoked ribs. Ditto smoked pulled pork or brisket. And grilled chicken? Yeah, great there too. It has the perfect consistency to stick to anything you put it on without being too thick that it is gloppy. You can adjust the spicy level by using more or less of the Tabasco sauce. I found a 50/50 ratio to be perfect, giving me a little heat and a lot of flavor at the same time.

I used Sweet Baby Ray’s Barbecue Sauce in this recipe. Kraft Original Slow-Simmered BBQ Barbecue Sauce would be another great choice. You don’t want to grab something that is going to fight the pepper sauce. Just a good old school tomato-based sauce will do just fine.

Chili Garlic Wings

Ketchup-based BBQ sauces are very common. Ketchup-based wing sauces? Not so much. That’s why I was (incorrectly) apprehensive about this chili garlic wing sauce at first. Would it be too ketchupy? Would I like it? No, and no. I LOVED IT! This sauce is the absolute bomb on wings. It has so many flavors packed into one bite it’s almost impossible to describe. Just the right balance of tomato, garlic, spice, sweetness and mustard. And the consistency is spot-on too. I so enjoyed these chili garlic wings!

A Great Sauce To Keep On Hand

The sauce on these chili garlic wings is actually great on anything you grill, too. Slather some on some ribs, or grilled chicken. Or even better, smoked brisket or pulled pork. You’ll be thinking… hey! This is my new go-to sauce for everything!

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!
