Pretty Thai Peanut Sauce Wings

My brain works a bit differently than most. When I see a peanut sauce, I don’t think egg rolls or stir fry. I think wings. First thing that pops into my head is wings. Last thing, too, for that matter. Pretty Thai Peanut sauce wings are lightly peanut-y, with hints of vinegar, garlic, Tamarind, and just a slight bit of spiciness. They’re definitely finger-lickingly good wings.

Pretty Thai Peanut Sauce Wings

A Great Dippin’ Sauce, Too

This is a thinner sauce. If you want extra sauce on your Pretty Thai Peanut Sauce wings, I recommend serving it on the side in little cups for dipping. You’ll definitely find yourself enjoying the great Asian-inspired flavors even more.

Sauce your wings while they are hot. If you’re using a bottle of sauce that you had in the fridge, make sure you set it out on the counter for a bit before using it. Last thing you want to do is put super cold sauce on super hot wings. The wings won’t be hot long if you do.

Pepper Palace Sweet But Sinister Sauce Wings

First came Sweet but Sassy sauce wings. And they were good. Oh so good. That got me thinking that I needed some Pepper Palace Sweet But Sinister sauce wings next. Needed. Wanted. Craved. So I made them. And they were good too. Oh so good. Like their sassy cousin, they’re slightly sweet. Unlike their sassy cousin, they’re hotter. In a really good way kinda hot.

Fire-Eater Wings

These fire-eater chicken wings from Steven Raichlen’s The Barbecue! Bible are absolutely amazing (as are the other recipes in the 575 page book). Yes, they have some kick, but it’s not overwhelming at all. They’re perfect. I plan on using the rub recipe on whole roasted chickens and turkey from my Big Easy, it’s just that good.

Fire-Eater Wings

Great Flavor In Every Bite

I cooked the wings for about 30 minutes in my Char-Broil Big Easy, then I tossed them onto a hot grill for a few minutes to crisp up the skin. You can skip that final step and still enjoy really fantastic wings.

I served my Fired-Eater wings with plenty of Ranch dressing for dipping. But you can skip that dippin’ and just enjoy the tremendous wing flavors as they are!

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!

De La Viuda Hot Sauce Wings

It’s not that complicated. Delicious hot sauces make for delicious wings. Nothing was complicated about these De La Viuda hot sauce wings. But they sure were delicious. The sauce is the real winner here. It is easily one of the best-tasting hot sauces I’ve had. A tremendous combination of peppers, it brings a little heat, but not so much that it’s overwhelming. I don’t like sauces that are so hot that I miss the flavor. This was spot-on great.

De La Viuda Hot Sauce Wings

Have It Your Way. You Rule.

You can cook up your wings any way you want. I went with my simple deep-fried wings. Just flour and a little seasoning. I didn’t want to over-power the sauce so I kept the seasoning ‘tame’. I mixed the hot sauce with a little butter (I went with the medium heat version) and let it get all warm and cozy in a saucepan while the wings cooked. Everything came together in a delicious wing-after-wing experience. I can’t wait to make more De La Viuda hot sauce wings!

Buffalo Sauce-Injected Wings

Oh how many thousands of wings have I eaten? I sure do love my wings. But you know, maybe a little something was missing. Once you get inside the wing, well, there’s just chicken. Good tasty moist chicken, sure. But no sauce. What if instead of tossing my wings with sauce I injected them with it instead? So I did. Buffalo sauce-injected wings are crazy good and fantastically different. Crispy skin on the outside with a burst of wing sauce in the middle. No lame wings here.

Buffalo Sauce-Injected Wings

Different. And Cool.

I really enjoyed these Buffalo-sauce injected wings. It’s like I get the best of all the tastes. I get to enjoy my wing seasoning. None of it is diluted after the wing has been covered in sauce. And I get my wing sauce, and lots of it. I didn’t end up with a lake of sauce at the bottom of my plate. It was definitely a chicken wing win, and a real attention-getter at a party.

Of course, you don’t have to use just Buffalo wing sauce like I did. Any wing sauce will work, but you’ll want to try and use ones that are thin enough to make it through your injector. And don’t skimp on the injector either.

Blackened Dry Wings

I love blackened chicken. I make a mean blackened chicken Alfredo dish. Being that I’ve been on a major chicken wing kick lately (ever since discovering dry wings), I wanted to get that great blackened seasoning flavor on a wing. And I did. Oh, did I. Blackened dry wings are truly a great thing. Spicy, with hints of onion and garlic. Great eats. I found myself licking all the seasoning off my fingers and still craving more.

Blackened Dry Wings

More is Better

This is one time I was not shy with the seasoning on my blackened dry wings. I usually like to be a little light, just so I can still taste the chicken. But blackened seasoning has to be over-the-top. It can’t be done lightly or there just isn’t any point to it. After all, I love dry wings, and this is a great reason why. You get fantastically seasoned wings and you can taste it. Since there’s no sauce, the flavors aren’t buried away.

Also try some brown sugar curry wings. They’re different and delicious!

Blues Hog Wild Wings

You take a look at the ingredients list for Blues Hog Wild wings sauce and you’d think that just about everything imaginable is in it. Hot sauce, Ranch, lemon juice, BBQ sauce, Cajun seasoning… the list goes on. And somehow, all of those flavors come together in what is one wildly different and very good wing sauce. Every bite I took I’d taste something different. I’d get the Cajun seasoning. Then I’d get the BBQ. And more. And more. It’s complex and delicious and one of my favorites.

Blues Hog Wild Wings

An Over-The-Top Great Sauce

Blues Hog Wild wings sauce made me think of southern-inspired flavors. The hot sauce isn’t too hot, but it’s there. The BBQ sauce is smoky, but not in-your-face. The vinegar’s not too strong. In the end nothing is really front-and-center, but there’s so many flavors that it’s kind of like an adventure with each bite you take.

This sauce comes in a big, heavy duty squeeze bottle that is great to keep around after you’ve used it up. I keep one full of oil to use on my grill.

Also try Brownwood Farm’s Slatherin’ wings. They’re mighty tasty too!

Bayou Blast Wings

I fired up my Char-Broil Big Easy oil-less fryer, made these fabulous spicy Bayou Blast wings with a dipping sauce, and kicked back and enjoyed a great meal. There’s a little heat from the wings, but not too much. They’re nicely sauced, but not overly saucy. You know what I mean. No one wants wings that are swimming in a pool of sauce. You want just enough for flavor, enough to get your fingers messy. Them’s good wings.

Bayou Blast Wings

Cooked Any Way, They’re Great

I’ll eat wings any time, anywhere, but wings like these Bayou Blast wings off my Char-Broil Big Easy are one of my favorites. It is the easiest tool in my grilling stable, though technically it isn’t a grill at all. It’s a load-and-go cooker so it doesn’t require constant attention or checking. I also love cooking wings in my air fryer, or on my charcoal grill. Or in the deep fryer. Or on the gas grill. Ok, I’ll eat wings cooked on anything!

Baked Spicy Buffalo Ranch Wings

The problem with most baked Buffalo-style wings is that the flavor is only skin-deep. The wings are cooked then tossed in a sauce then served. Problem is, that sauce never gets a chance to flavor the meat. You take a bite. Yummy. Take another. Sadness. Nada. Nothing. The sauce is gone and so is the flavor. These baked spicy Buffalo Ranch wings are not those wings. These wings are marinated in Buffalo sauce. That sauce gets ‘down in there’, flavoring the wings all the way through. The result is bite after bite of Buffalo wing goodness.

Baked Spicy Buffalo Ranch Wings

The Easy Way To Please A Crowd

You can easily scale this recipe for baked spicy Buffalo Ranch wings to feed a bigger crowd. For those that want even more heat, use a hotter hot sauce. Of course you can use a tamer sauce for those that don’t like that spicy kick.

These wings have a skin that is ‘bite through clean’. No yucky chewy chicken skin here. They aren’t going to be crunchy, but you can give them a little bit of a crunch and color by placing them under the broiler just before serving them. Just don’t leave them under that high heat for long.

Baked Garlic and Onion Wings

If you want to make your belly happy and as a bonus make your house smell amazing, make yourself a batch of these baked garlic and onion wings. Lots of garlic. Lots of onion. Heck, I’m not always a fan of baked wings but these made a believer out of me. They’re very flavorful. They’re cooked perfectly. Nice and tasty, I’d make these again.

Baked Garlic and Onion Wings

Leave ’em alone

I do have one suggestion when you make your baked garlic and onion wings. Don’t flip them while they are baking. Just let them be. You turn them and they’ll lose a bit of that flavor. Not much, not enough to really notice, but you’ll see it. Heck, you can see it my picture. Believe me, they were still great, but if I learned something from a recipe, I’ll pass it along!
