Alfredo Chicken Wings

These Alfredo chicken wings are proof that sometimes its a good idea to step outside of your wing comfort zone and try something you’d never thought you’d try. Sure, I’m a big fan of chicken alfredo. It’s on my menu rotation often around here. But for some reason I’d never thought of saucing wings in that wonderfully creamy rich sauce. Well, let me tell you folks! These are great wings! Totally different. Totally great! And boy, talk about a ‘wow’ factor!

You can cook the wings any way you want. Oven. Deep fryer. Air fryer. It doesn’t really matter. Just get them in that delicious, creamy, rich cheesy sauce and get to eating! (And smiling!)

Homemade. Or From A Bottle.

I’ve included the ingredients and steps to make a quick and easy Alfredo sauce from scratch. And it’s great stuff on these Alfredo chicken wings. But you don’t have to make your own if you don’t want to. Just grab a bottle of your favorite sauce from the store and warm it up. Boom. Instant creamy wing sauce. Who knew?

Just A Tad, Thanks

Now, I like a good bit of sauce on my chicken alfredo. But on my wings, I went a bit lighter. I still wanted to taste that delicious wing. Next time, I might serve a little extra warmed sauce on the side, for dipping. Heck, ‘might’ nothing. I will.

Servings:

Calories: 5085kcal

Equipment

Ingredients

For the wings

3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock
kosher salt to taste
freshly ground black pepper to taste

For the sauce (see note)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cups heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons onion powder
3 teaspoons garlic powder
½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded, plus more for topping
parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

For the wings

Note: These instructions are for cooking the wings in the oven. You can cook the wings any way you like, like in an air fryer or deep fryer, and coat in the sauce before serving.
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Season the wings with salt and pepper. Place on a foil-lined baking sheet that has been lightly sprayed with non-stick spray.
Bake wings for 20 minutes.
While the wings are cooking make the sauce. Keep the sauce warm while the wings finish.
Flip the wings and bake another 20 minutes.
Flip one more time and finish cooking for 15 more minutes.
If you want more crisp or color to your wings you can place them under the broiler for a few minutes. Keep an eye on them while using the broiler.
Transfer wings to the sauce (working in batches as needed) and turn to coat.
Serve garnished with chopped parsley and more parmesan.

For the sauce

Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium heat.
Slowly whisk in the whipping cream.
Season with salt and pepper, stir and let come to a slow boil.
Turn heat down to low and let simmer 3-5 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Add the cheese and stir.
Keep warm until ready to use.

Notes

You can substitute 2 cups of store-bought Alfredo sauce. Just warm it slightly while the wings are cooking.

If you like your wings extra saucy you may want to double the sauce recipe. You can always use any leftover sauce (if there is any) over pasta.

Alabama White Sauce BBQ Wings

Alabama white sauce is the kind of BBQ sauce that I thought was a bit odd at first. I love mayonnaise, but in a BBQ sauce? Huh? Vinegar, yeah, I get that. But the mayonnaise threw me, even though I’m a mayo-holic. But like a good lil trooper, I tried it and boy did I love it. Do love it. I’ve made my own a few times, but I recently discovered Duke’s Alabama style white southern dipping sauce and it’s one that I really really like, so that’s what I put on my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings!

Go easy on the sauce

I like my Alabama white sauce BBQ wings just lightly sauced. Too much and I start to think I’m having potato salad. Or a creamy macaroni salad. The sauce has a great flavor, but there’s no need to go crazy with it. That’s just my opinion, of course. You can always put some sauce on the side for dipping your chicken wings.

Air Fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Seasoning Dry Wings

Yer derned tootin’ I was heavy handed when I seasoned these air fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo seasoning dry wings. I love this seasoning. I am never shy with how much I use. These wings made for the perfect lunch. Dry wings rock. If you’ve never tried them, you should. The right seasoning on a wing can make for a wonderful eating experience. I’ll put dry wings up against any wet wings any day of the week. They’re both great.

Bring the Flavor. And More.

These air fryer Frank’s RedHot Buffalo seasoning dry wings start out with a bit of a heat when you take a bite. Right up front. Oh, it’s not overly spicy. Not at all. Just a nice little kick to let you know it’s there.

Then comes the flavor. And lots of it. Garlic. Cayenne. And I swear butter. This is like having a Buffalo wing without having sauce all over your hands and face. Instead, well.. you’ll have seasoning all over your hands and face! Still a win win!

If you want (and you do), don’t be afraid to triple-season your wings. Once before cooking (just a little). Then toss them in more seasoning after cooking (a good dose). And finally, sprinkle them with some more (another good dose). You’ll thank me!

Frank's RedHot Buffalo Seasoning

Instructions

Season the wings with the Frank's RedHot Buffalo seasoning. Don't go crazy with it. You want enough to taste the great flavors, but don't drown the wings in it.
Place wings in fridge for 30 minutes.
Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 350 F.
Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!).
Cook wings for 12 minutes.
Flip the wings and cook another 12 minutes.
Increase the air fryer temperature to 400 F and cook another 6 minutes.
Remove wings from fryer and place in a bowl. Toss with more seasoning, to taste. Now's a good time to not be shy with the seasoning.
Let cool slightly (the wings will crisp as they cool) then serve.

Notes

Note: The full 30 minute cook time is for large, meaty wings. If your wings are a bit thinner (er… scrawny) back the times down to 10/10/4 minutes instead of 12/12/6 minutes.

Air Fryer Buc-ee’s Barbecue Sauce Wings

It was crazy!

I’ve been to two different Buc-ee’s. Both times the experience was almost surreal. The sheer number of people almost overwhelmed me. There was merchandise everywhere. There were packaged snacks and fountain drinks everywhere. More importantly, there was food everywhere. Good-looking, just-made great smelling food.

The brisket station

I flowed through the crowd and went to my destination: the brisket sandwich station. I’d heard stories, I’d read the rumors. They chop the brisket right out of the smoker (after yelling ‘brisket is on the table!’) and sauce it with Buc-ee’s barbecue sauce. I gotta tell ya, it was one good sandwich. I immediately grabbed a bottle of the sauce and knew what I was making when I got back home: air fryer Buc-ee’s barbecue wings.

Just right!

These air fryer Buc-ee’s barbecue wings were fantastic. The sauce has just the right consistency for wings. Not too thick and not too thin. Perfect for sticking to my wings. It’s lightly sweet but definitely not overly so. There’s a light hint of smokiness, a little hickory to give it that traditional ketchup-based BBQ sauce flavor. These wings are finger-licking good and then some. And easy to make to boot!

To find a bottle of the sauce visit your nearest Buc-ee’s. And take my advice. Pick up a bunch of it, it’s great on anything BBQed!

Adobo Buffalo Wings

Nothing makes me happier than discovering a wing sauce that can be used on much more than ‘just’ wings. The sauce on these adobo Buffalo wings packs some mild heat, just enough and just right. There’s a little sweetness, a little smokiness, and my favorite, a hint of soy sauce. Each bite is a wonderful combination of flavors.

One great sauce!

The sauce on these adobo Buffalo wings is thick, thick enough for sticking to smoked or grill ribs, chicken, burgers… you name it. I’d definitely recommend doubling the sauce.

Kick it up a bit!

For a little more kick add more adobo, cayenne or red chili flakes. You can also substitute hot sauce for the Buffalo wing sauce, but the Buffalo sauce does add that nice traditional wing flavor.

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!

Calories: 852kcal

Ingredients

3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

For the marinade

1 ½ cups soy sauce
1 cup apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons garlic minced
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

For the glaze (if tossing the wings with the glaze you may want to thin it somewhat with a little water so the glaze doesn't end up too thick)

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 tablespoons garlic minced
2 bay leaves
2 teaspoons peppercorns
2 cups soy sauce
1 ½ cups apple cider vinegar
1 cup brown sugar
4 teaspoons ketchup
4 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons cayenne
2 teaspoons dried red chili flakes
2 teaspoons Worcestershire
6 chipotle peppers in Adobo sauce lightly chopped, along with some of the Adobo sauce
kosher salt to taste
½ cup corn starch
1 cup water

Instructions

Place the wings in a large resealable container or baggie.
Whisk together the marinade ingredients and pour over the wings. Seal and refrigerate at least 4 hours, up to 12.
Remove wings from marinade and shake off any excess.
Cook wings as desired. Click here for our guide on cooking wings in a grill, smoker, deep fryer, oven, air fryer or a Char-Broil Big Easy.
If cooking wings on a grill brush them with the glaze 5 minutes before removing, otherwise brush or toss the wings with the glaze and serve. Click here for our guide on how to sauce wings.

For the glaze

Combine all ingredients except for the cornstarch in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue simmering, stirring, for 15-20 minutes.
Add salt to taste.
Combine the cornstarch with water. Slowly whisk into the glaze.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before pouring thru a whisk.
Keep warm over low heat until ready to use. If too thick stir in a little (very little!) water a time to get the desired consistency.

Notes

Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy Sauce Wings

Never has a bottle of hot sauce disappeared so fast than when I made a few batches of Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy sauce wings. I love this sauce so much I could not get enough. The wings? Simplicity defined: seasoned wings, cooked. The sauce? Easy too. Just hot sauce and a little butter. The result? Absolutely delicious. The sauce is a Mexican hot sauce with just a touch of heat but oh, the flavors. So good. This tomato-based sauce is different than any other sauce you’ve had.

The Story Behind The Sauce

Acapulco Joe’s was a well-loved Mexican restaurant here in Indianapolis. The restaurant is long gone, but fortunately the sauces live on. Normally used as a table sauce for tacos, chips… anything, it is of course my goal (and my duty!) to use everything on wings. Acapulco Joe’s Hot Sassy Sauce wings make me smile. Not just because they taste great (and they do!) but because it’s a great example of how a non-wing sauce makes for a great wing sauce!

It may seem odd, but I thought ‘spaghetti’ when I first tried this sauce. Well, after that I thought tacos but the tomato and spices made me think it’d be great on pasta. Now, I just need to order more!

5 Salt 5 Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings

Oh, me. These 5 Salt and 5 Pepper air fryer dry wings are why I am such a big fan of un-sauced wings. Sure, you can make these and still sauce them. And you should. But do yourself a favor and try them dry. They’ll make a believer out of you.

Packed with flavor

The 5 Salt and 5 Pepper seasoning from Kroger is packed with flavor. So, you ask yourself, really? Are there really 5 different kinds of salt and 5 different kinds of pepper in it? Yes! Here’s proof. The salts: sea, pink Himalayan, Cypress white, French grey, and fleur de sel. The peppers: cayenne, chili, black, red and green bell. All combine for a decidedly different taste that hits every part of your tongue. And makes it tingle!

Be heavy-handed!

Do not be shy with the seasoning when it comes time to make your 5 Salt 5 Pepper Air Fryer Dry Wings. Seasoning them good and let them dry brine in the fridge for 30 minutes before cooking them. That’ll help get some of fantastic salty pepperiness deep inside, making each bite completely incredible. Afterward, season them even more after they’re cooked up crispy hot.

Andy’s Mild Chicken Breading Wings

Easy. Flavorful. Crunchy. That’s why we’re here today. That’s why we’re making Andy’s Mild Chicken Breading wings. We’re not here because we want some huge list of ingredients and a complicated list of steps to make wings. We want simple but we want results. I keep this fry mix on hand for the times I just want great, uncomplicated, deep-fried wings.

Straight Up. Or With A Twist.

I like to eat my Andy’s Mild Chicken Breading wings ‘dry’…. and I like them ‘wet’. Dry wings, served without any sauce, let me enjoy that great seasoning. It’s really good stuff, and worthy of enjoying on its own. But there’s also nothing wrong with having them dipped in sauce (‘wet’), either. Not tossed in sauce, though. I’m not a fan of tossing deep-fried battered wings in sauce for two reasons. One, all that tossing knocks off that crunchy delicious coating! And two, the wet sauce makes the coating soggy! So I usually dip my wings instead.

For other ways to sauce your wings, check out my huge guide to saucing wings. Trust me, you’ll find a way that’s your favorite!

Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ Sauce Wings

It’s BBQ wing time! One of my favorite things to have is wings coated in BBQ sauce. I’m not hung up on only saucing them with bottles that say ‘wing sauce’ on the front. BBQ sauces make for perfect wings! Like these Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ sauce wings. This is one great sauce. And it’s really great on wings. It has a hint of smoke. It’s a little sweet but has a nice vinegar tang. The heat level isn’t too high, but you’ll notice it.

Stick-To-Your Wings Good Stuff

This sauce isn’t messing around. It sticks to your wings. That’s good news. No one wants a ‘sauce pool’ on the bottom of their plate. Make some wings and sauce them up with some Traeger Grills Texas Spicy BBQ sauce and you’ll be happy. Just squirt it on and toss them (gently) until nice and coated.

Heck yeah this sauce is great on burgers, roasted chicken, ribs too! And pulled pork! Don’t tell anyone, but I also like to dip potato chips into it! Yummy!

Taco Sauce Wings

I wasn’t really bored with my usual hot sauce-based wing sauces. Heck, I have tons of different hot sauces I can use to make a quick good wing sauce. Nope, I just happened to open the fridge, saw a bottle of taco sauce, and made the quick decision that I needed it on some wings. And that’s what I did. I made taco sauce wings. Good wings made better with a little spiciness and great flavor. Nothing fancy. But tasty.

Which Way To Go?

Your taco sauce wings can take a few different directions. Mild. Medium. Hot. You can make the mild milder. Or the hot hotter. It’s up to you. Just vary the amount and style of taco sauce, and the amount of butter. Easy. Uncomplicated.

Want More?

If you want, you can add a little more ‘stuff’ to your taco sauce-based wing sauce. A pinch of cayenne stirred in is a good place to start. Some chile powder doesn’t hurt either. Heck, sneak in some Fajita seasoning. Just don’t go crazy with it. Add it, but don’t make it overwhelming.
