Quaker Steak and Lube Arizona Ranch Wings

I’ve had a big hankerin’ for some chicken wings ever since we drove over to Cincinnati and went shopping at Jungle Jim’s. I picked up a few bottles of Quaker Steak and Lube wing sauces, including this Arizona Ranch. We’ve actually eaten at a Quaker Steak & Lube near Cincinnati, and really enjoyed it. We can’t wait for them to open one here in Indianapolis!

Quaker Steak and Lube Arizona Ranch Wings

I really like the Quaker Steak and Lube Arizona Ranch sauce. It is like ranch dressing, for grownups. It has some kick, but not enough to scare grandma off. Personally, I’d for more kick, but I wasn’t the only one eating wings! You can see how the Arizona Ranch stacks up heat-wise to the other yummy Quaker Steak & Lube sauces here.

I was worried that for $5-$6, the sauce was over-priced, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that that isn’t the case. For the number of wings I made I used only a little sauce, without sacrificing flavor. And the sauce sticks to the wings. Not gloppy, molasses sticky, but just sticky enough to not run off and form a puddle. I liked that. A lot.

Buffalo Supreme Wings

Buffalo wings, blue cheese, and celery. Very traditional and very good and usually, each component is served separately. But why not cut to the chase and combine all of those great flavors into one bite? Buffalo supreme wings do exactly that. Yeah, they’re messy to eat, but that’s part of the fun. And they do combine all the great classic tastes in bite after bite. You just cannot beat these wings!

Buffalo Supreme Wings

I really enjoyed chowing down on Buffalo supreme wings. They didn’t last long at all, that’s for sure. It was bordering on embarrassing, but I couldn’t help myself. That happens with me and wings a lot. I used the classic, Frank’s RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Hot Sauce, but you can actually substitute your favorite.

You’re not going to need a dipping sauce for these wings. What could you possibly dip them in that would make them better? They’re already tossed in the best everything-in-it sauce ever!

Palace Sauce Lemon Pepper Wings

I am not one to click on ads on social media. Like most people, I scroll on, never even noticing. Except this time. I saw an ad for new (to me) wing sauces from a place called the Wing Palace out of Jacksonville, FL. The sauces looked absolutely yummy in the pics. I had to. So I did. I ordered two bottles of each of their flavors. Once they arrived I quickly made a batch of wings and tossed them with the lemon pepper sauce. My oh my oh my goodness me! What a great wing sauce! Not too lemony, not too peppery, but spot-on great! Think Buffalo wing sauce consistency, with that underlying butter flavor.

Palace Sauce Lemon Pepper Wings

Man, look at those wings and lemon pepper sauce. Yeah, they were good. Really good. I should hang a picture of those wings in my living room. Above the fireplace. They deserve to be seen as much as devoured!

Pick up some Palace sauces. You’ll never regret it.

Meijer Bourbon Honey Mustard Wings

Is it possible for a bottled store-brand wing sauce to be too good? No, but Meijer Bourbon Honey Mustard wing sauce is about as good as you can get. All of the flavors are balanced and at just the right levels for me. Not too much bourbon flavor. Just the right honey sweetness. And the right mustardy vinegar kick. It’s different and delicious.

Meijer Bourbon Honey Mustard Wings

I contacted Meijer’s corporate office about the fact that I couldn’t find their Honey Bourbon wing sauce online. As of the time of this post they haven’t added it yet. So just head to your local Meijer and grab a bottle from the condiment section. While you’re there grab a few bottles of the other great Meijer wing sauces, like Caribbean Jerk.

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.

Joey Chestnut Nashville Hot Chicken Wings

When I first came across Joey Chestnut’s Nashville Hot Chicken Wing Sauce it was on a display at Jungle Jim’s outside of Cincinnati. The flavors all sounded intriguing and different, so I grabbed a few bottles and rushed on home to make some wings. Every sauce has been fantastic, different, and just flat-out tasty. I love Nashville hot chicken, so the idea of putting that same great kicked-up spicy flavor on wings was a must-do for me. Man, was it good!

Joey Chestnut Nashville Hot Chicken Wings

Joey Chestnut’s Nashville Hot Chicken wing sauce is great all around, and not just in taste. It has the perfect consistency, the right stick-to-the-wingsness. This sauce would be great on more than wings too, Heck, drizzle it all over fried chicken and get instant Nashville hot chicken with a twist!

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.

Quaker Steak and Lube Thai ‘R’ Cracker Wings

When I can’t get to the nearest Quaker Steak & Lube (about 2 hours from here in Indy), I do the next-best-thing and make my version of their wings here. This time I used the insanely good Quaker Steak and Lube Thai ‘R’ Cracker wings sauce. It’s got a bit of kick, but not so much that you’re gonna cry. And it’s got a bit of sweet to it too. It’s perfect with a bit of cool Ranch sauce on the side. Or serve the wings with more Thai ‘R’ Cracker sauce for a more kicked-up dipping sauce.

Quaker Steak and Lube Thai 'R' Cracker Wings

Thai ‘R’ Cracker sauce is by far my wife’s favorite from Quaker Steak and Lube. We always keep a number of bottles of Quaker Steak and Lube Thai ‘R’ Cracker wings sauce on hand for making delicious wings!

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.

Quaker Steak and Lube Medium Buffalo Wings

I love chicken wings. Homemade or bottled sauce, just as great either way to me. And I love to be surprised by just how great some store-bought sauces are. Like this Quaker Steak and Lube medium Buffalo wing sauce. This is what a bottled sauce is supposed to be.

The perfect balance

The perfect consistency. You want that. The perfect amount of heat. You need that. And that great classic Buffalo flavor. You deserve that. This is it, all in one sauce. It is nice and creamy to boot.

Quaker Steak and Lube Medium Buffalo Wings

My wife and I always stop at the Quaker Steak and Lube outside of Cincinnati when we are in the area. They have a full menu and great service. I of course only get the wings. Because, like this medium Buffalo wing sauce, all of their sauces are fantastic. There’s not even a sort-of-ok sauce on the menu. They’are all great!

Ramen-Seasoned Wings

I’ve come across recipes for Ramen-crusted chicken wings on the internet, but never really got into the idea. But I did get into the idea of dusting some mighty fine cooked wings with Ramen seasoning (you know, the little spice packets from the noodle packages) and serving them with an out-of-this-world peanut dipping sauce. And I didn’t leave off the noodles, nope! A quick fry in a pan with a little oil, and boom! Crunchy wing topping! These Ramen-seasoned wings with peanut dipping sauce disappeared in no time!

Ramen-Seasoned Wings

If you really love Ramen seasoning don’t be afraid to double the amount of seasoning used. I always have Ramen seasoning on hand because I like to crunch up the noodles and fry them for topping salads. More is better on these Ramen-seasoned wings with peanut dipping sauce.

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 Fajita-seasoned wings.

Noble Made Hot Buffalo Wings

I was perusing the wing sauce section at our local Whole Foods when I came across a few bottles of Noble Made sauce, including their hot Buffalo wing sauce. Never one to pass up a new (to me) sauce, I grabbed a few and headed on home to make a big ole batch of wings. This sauce is good and spicy (hey, it does say ‘hot’ on the label!), has that great Buffalo wing flavor, and has the perfect consistency. And consistency is important. Too many sauces are thin and watery. You end up with 10 times as much sauce on your plate as you do on your wings. That’s not why you made wings. You want them covered in sauce, not swimming in sauce soup.

Noble Made Hot Buffalo Wings

Next time I’m at Whole Foods I won’t hesitate to grab a few more bottles of Noble Made hot Buffalo wing sauce, along with their other flavors. You can’t go wrong with it. It’s perfect for those occasions when I want a good spicy Buffalo wing sauce. It’s not for the ‘no spicy stuff for me’ crowd.

Copycat Applebee’s Buffalo Wings

I’m sitting here trying to describe how I felt when I devoured this copycat of the Buffalo wings from Applebee’s. It was more than love. It was an unstoppable obsession. An addiction. As soon as I was done eating I started to plan making them again. And again. So what makes them so different? It’s the addition of flour to what is a pretty typical Buffalo wing sauce. You wouldn’t think that it would make that big of a difference, but it helps the sauce stick to the wings. You don’t usually get that with Buffalo wings. They may be sauced, but a lot of that sauce ends up on your plate or shirt and not in your mouth.

Copycat Applebee's Buffalo Wings

There’s no such thing as making too many Applebee’s Buffalo wings or making them too often. No matter how you cook them, everyone will love them. I’ll end my thoughts there because I’m off to make another batch…

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!
