Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo Fried Wings

These Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo fried wings are dangerously close to being ‘just’ fried chicken. But, oh my goodness me, let me tell you just how great these wings are. The breading is out-of-this-world fantastic. Such a wonderful crunch and seasoned to absolute perfection. With a nice essence of Buffalo Wing flavor and spiciness. Not overpowering, but there. These wings are truly epic. I could eat these little beauties all day long and that’s no lie! For more Buffalo wing-inspired goodness, drizzle the wings with Buffalo sauce right before serving, or serve some on the side for dipping!

Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo Wings

Add Sauce. If You Want To.

For more Buffalo flavor, toss (gently) your Shore Lunch Spicy Buffalo fried wings in some good ole Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing sauce.

You can also serve your favorite sauce on the side and dip the wings. That’ll help keep that crunchy delicious batter in place.

Or dip them in some sauce on the side. For me, I didn’t need anything extra. I found these wings to be superb just as they were, hot out of the fryer. Man, what great wings!

Spicy Honey Wings

A little sweet. A little heat. Those are the keys to a great wing sauce. These spicy honey wings have the perfect combination of both. Even with my Fire-Eater rub and a healthy dose of hot sauce, they’re plenty sweet. Perfect for dipping in a bowl of cold Ranch or blue cheese dressing.

Spicy Honey Wings

This Is What Sweet Heat Is All About

I find myself sitting here and just staring at the picture of the spicy honey wings. Man, they sure were pretty, and they sure were delicious. I could easily make another batch for lunch today. I think I will. All of the ingredients to make the rub and sauce are pantry staples, and I always keep plenty of fresh wings around because you never know when you might want a few wings.

Smokestack’s Wings

If you like traditional Buffalo chicken wings, but are looking for a little twist on the classic, then I guarantee you will love Smokestack’s wings. I did. A lot. The wings are dusted with a wonderful rub that has a nice herbaceous side to it. It’s the sauce, though, that is the kicker, especially if you love Old Bay seasoning. And I do. A lot.

Smokestack's Wings

Amazing Flavor In Every Bite

If you’re a diehard lover of Old Bay seasoning, use it as the rub instead of the ingredients listed. You can’t get enough Old Bay, in my opinion. No matter whether you make the seasoning below or use Old Bay, Smokestack’s wings are out-of-this-world fantastic!

I like to make my spice, rub and seasoning mixes in big batches and keep them in large bottles with easy-to-pour shaker lids.

Spicy Herb and Garlic Wings

I’m not sure what happened. Something came over me when I was making the sauce for these spicy herb and garlic wings. The aroma was crazy good. My mouth was watering. I was so anxious to try it on wings. Though I admit to having quite a few ‘samples’ of the sauce as the wings cooked…. This stuff is great. Savory, herby, garlicky with just the perfect amount of heat. All thanks to a package of soup mix from Lipton. Who would’ve thought?

My Goodness Are These Wings Ever Addicting

There’s absolutely nothing I’d change about these spicy herb and garlic wings. I really liked them. If you aren’t a fan of heat, you can definitely leave out the cayenne. But I liked it. It’s not overpowering by any stretch. And of course you can add more, or use less.

You’ll enjoy these wings as much as I did.

Spicy Sweet and Sour Wings

These spicy sweet and sour wings are proof that it really doesn’t take a pantry full of ingredients to make a fantastic wing sauce. It truly doesn’t get any easier than this. Just open two bottles, pour into a bowl and mix. That’s it. And the cool part is that you get to decide how sweet you want it to be. Or how spicy. It’s impossible to mess up this sauce.

Spicy Sweet and Sour Wing

Sweet And Sour Needed Some Heat

I opted for Crystal Hot sauce in my spicy sweet and sour wings sauce. It’s got great flavor and just the right heat level for me. Sure, I’ve got hotter hot sauces around. If I was craving hotter wings, I would’ve used them. And if I’m more on the even milder side, I’ve got sauces for that too.

Spicy Mango Wings

Let’s all head to the islands and enjoy some delicious tropical-inspired wings! These spicy mango wings bring a little fruitiness, a little sweetness and as little or as much heat as you want! The sauce is the perfect consistency for wing-sticking enjoyment. I couldn’t find fresh habaneros in our market, so I used a good few shakes of habanero hot sauce instead. It hits my palate up front, then comes the fruity sweetness and all is good in the world again.

Spicy Mango Wings

Fresh ‘n Fruity. And Spicy.

I used frozen mango chunks when I made these spicy mango wings. They’re always in season! They’re easier to deal with than a fresh mango and always perfectly ripe. It’s nice to keep them on hand for recipes like this and anything else that calls for mango.

The sauce on these wings is also great on grilled or smoke ribs. Or slather it on grilled chicken.

Sticky Crispy Garlic Wings

My goodness gracious me are these sticky crispy garlic wings ever good. The chicken cooks up crazy crunchy. It’s good enough to serve by itself. The batter is well-seasoned and is definitely not boring. Then there’s the sauce. Slightly sweet with a slight Asian-inspired flavor, it brings the garlic big time. And oh yes, it’s sticky. Get out the paper towels, because wimpy napkins aren’t going to cut it here.

Sticky Crispy Garlic Wings

Watch your sauce

The one thing you need to know before you dive in and make these sticky crispy garlic wings is that the sauce needs to be watched the entire time it simmers. Trust me on this. It’ll want to boil over. You might be thinking it won’t….. and then it will. Just keep an eye on it. If it starts to rise, just grab the pot handle and take it off the heat for a minute or two. Once it subsides, put it back. And keep keeping an eye on it.

No Tossing Zone

If I’m saucing deep-fried wings, specially ones with a thicker coating like these, I don’t like to toss the wings in the sauce. That’ll tend to knock off the crispy coating. Instead, I’ll put the wings in a bowl and drizzle them in the sauce then stir them gently with a rubber spatula. Or I’ll just serve the sauce on the side and dip my chicken wings in it instead.

Instructions

For the sauce (Warning: Do not leave the sauce un-attended while simmering)

  • Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  • Add the garlic and sauté for 2 minutes.
  • Add the honey, soy sauce and pepper. Stir. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium and let simmer for 10 minutes. Stir often and keep a close eye on the sauce as it simmers. It will want to expand and boil over the side of the pan. If this starts to happen, remove the pan from the heat until it subsides. Return to the stove and continue simmering.
  • Reduce heat to low and keep warm until ready to use.

For the wings

  • Heat 3-4" of oil to 350 F in a Dutch oven or deep fryer.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.
  • In a separate bowl whisk together the eggs and cold water.
  • Working in batches as needed, dip wings into the egg wash and coat well.
  • Shake off any excess and transfer to the flour mixture. Turn to coat well.
  • Transfer the wings to the oil and fry 10-15 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack over a baking sheet to drain.
  • Transfer the cooked wings to a large bowl. Drizzle with the sauce and stir gently to coat. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
  • Serve immediately.

Sweet and Sour Spicy Wings

A friend of mine sent me this recipe for sweet and sour spicy wings. The recipe has been in his family for years and years and is always a big hit. You know it’s good if you end up making it over and over. This is one great wing sauce. And truthfully, it’d make for a great BBQ sauce too. It’s a bit sweet. It’s a bit sour. And it’s a bit spicy. All in perfect balance. This is a great, finger-licking good sauce that you’ll want to make again and again.

Sweet and Sour Spicy Wings

Flavor Perfection

A lot of my favorite flavors are in this sauce. Including celery salt. Anything with celery salt in it is going to make me happy. But it’s not overpowering. Like the other seasonings, it’s there and you taste it. It contributes to the overall flavor. It’s just one of the things that make these sweet and sour spicy wings so great.

Bring The Heat. Or Don’t.

You can decide how this sauce ends up being. Just adjust the hot sauce amount. If you’re not a fan of spicy start with 2 tablespoons first. Don’t worry, it won’t be crazy hot. Taste it. Add more if you want more of a kick.

Sweet and Tangy Heinz 57 Wings

Welcome to one of my all-time favorite homemade wing sauces. Easy as heck to make. Delicious as can be. These sweet and tangy Heinz 57 wings were beyond finger-licking good. They were plate-licking good. I’d make these again in a heartbeat. A little tangy. A little sweet. They hit the spot!

Sweet and Tangy Heinz 57 Wings

A Sauce For The Entire Family

I do sometimes post some fairly spicy homemade wing sauces here on For The Wing. This isn’t one of them. I think these sweet and tangy Heinz 57 wings would be great to serve at a party or picnic or family get-together. No one’s gonna scream that they are spicy. But they will tell you they loved them.

But…. You could kick them up a bit if you want. They are on the sweet side. A bit. And just barely tangy. No reason you couldn’t sneak a little hot sauce in there. Maybe make a special batch for yourself and your heat-loving friends.

Texa-Lina Chicken Wings

Could this be the last wing post here on For The Wing? Have I reached the top? The pinnacle of wing equivalent of Mt Everest? Is there no place to go from here? Well, let me tell you fellow wing-lovers, it’s close. Darned close. Because these Texa-Lina chicken wings are fantastic. I mean super-fantastic. This sauce is nothing but perfect. Oh yeah, there’s a bit of sweet. And there’s a bit of heat. With the perfect consistency. It’s a combination of Texas-style and Carolina-style BBQ sauces, all in a sauce that makes wings dance!

Texa-Lina Chicken Wings

Steven Raichlen For The Win

The idea behind this sauce came from Steven Raichlen’s book, Barbecue Sauces, Rubs, and Marinades. It’s packed with great recipes, as you can imagine. Over 200 of them. So it makes sense that these Texa-Lina chicken wings were so good. The sauce is amazing. It started out as a vinegar and ketchup BBQ sauce and ended up on my wings. And that’s right where it belongs! Ok, it would be great on ribs and pulled pork and anything else, too!

I went with air-fried wings. Doesn’t really matter how you decide to cook your wings. I have a full guide for using pretty much any device you can imagine to make great wings, over and over. Check it out!
