Japanese Barbecue Sauce Wings

This post is for the original, non-spicy version of Bachan’s Japanese barbecue sauce. Also check out my post on their spicy Japanese barbecue sauce!

Japanese Barbecue Sauce makes me sad. Sad that I went so long before buying a bottle and squeezing it onto some wings, that is! My goodness me is this ever good stuff! I mean crazy good. Lightly sweet and lightly salty, it’s what teriyaki sauce wishes it could be. I cannot stop eating wings covered in this sauce. And I’m not afraid to admit it, I double-sauced my wings.

Japanese Barbecue Sauce Wings

“Oh. My. Goodness.” Good.

Bachan’s Japanese Barbecue sauce is a little on the thin side. Normally that would be a minus on wings. You won’t want your sauce to end up at the bottom of your plate, you need it to stick to your wings. Well, this sauce has so much fantastic flavor that you don’t need it to be super thick. Not at all. A light coating on your wings is sufficient. You don’t have to slather it on deep and thick.

If you want, do like I do and put a small bowl of extra sauce on the side for dipping. You won’t regret it. I use condiment cups for sauce. Any sauce. This sauce. Ranch. Blue cheese. Whatever. They’re great for sauce. Just the right size.

Other Stuff

There are other things in life besides wings. Or so I’m told. This sauce is great on them too. One of my favorites is to steam or blanch broccoli, then air fry it or throw it on a hot griddle for a bit. I then toss it in a bit of this sauce right before serving. And I don’t toss it in cold sauce, either. If it’s been refrigerated I let it come to room temperature first. There’s no reason to toss hot broccoli in a cold sauce. Or wings for that matter!

Red Chile BBQ Sauce Wings

Boy was I ever happy that I bought a sampling of the seasonings, sauces, and jellies from AlbuKirky Seasonings. Everything in the online store looked and sounded so good. I anxiously awaited the day my package arrived (which was very soon after I clicked ‘Check out’). I knew exactly what I was going to do first: chicken wings made with Kirk’s red chile rub and sauced with his red chile BBQ sauce. The perfect combination of southwestern flavors and a little kick of heat, the rub and sauce made for fantastic wings.

Red Chile BBQ Wings

Uniquely Delicious

I’ve used the red chile rub and BBQ sauce on many things since making these wings. Ribs, burgers, chicken, you name it, all came out great. But, oh, how I do love the wings. There’s no flavor like it to be found in any wing place around here, that’s for sure. There should be.

Capital City Mambo Wings

I can definitely say that Capital City Mambo wings are crazy amazingly good. It’s a ketchup-based sweet sauce that has great flavor and the perfect consistency for wings. It’d be great on a whole bunch of foods, but it really shines on wings for sure. It’s not spicy, so you don’t have to worry about it scaring off your I-don’t-like-heat guests.

Capital City Mambo Wings

An All-Around Great Sauce

I ordered a squeeze bottle (perfect for squirting onto wings!) each of the sauces from Capital City. Now I can see that I’m going to have to order jugs instead, because this stuff just isn’t going to last around here. Next time I grill ribs, burgers, or chicken, this sauce is gonna be right there, too. It’s not just fantastic on wings, nope, Capital City Mambo wing sauce is for everything!

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.

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender. Ready for a sauce. Air-fried wings can hold up to being tossed with sauce, so that’s what I do. If they were deep-fried with a batter I wouldn’t abuse them like that. I’d gently brush the sauce on. Or serve it on the side, for dipping.

See my guides for cooking your wings and for saucing them! I’ve got you covered!

Plucker’s Vampire Killer Wings

True enough, after even the first batch of Plucker’s Vampire Killer wings we no longer had vampires in our home. A little honey and molasses sweetness. A little spicy cayenne. And a WHOLE lot of garlic. You won’t be huntin’ around for the garlic in this wonderful wing sauce. It comes right at you. But it’s not so much that you get a garlic burn. It’s smooooooth and tasty and one of the best wing sauces you can find. So if you love garlic like I do, grab yourself a bottle or two and get to making some wings!

Plucker's Vampire Killer Wings

Garlic. Glorious Garlic. And Lots Of It.

Plucker’s Vampire Killer wing sauce has just the right consistency for wings. Not too thick and not too thin. Like all of Plucker’s wing sauces, which I’ve been enjoying immensely. You don’t want to pass on this sauce if you even remotely like garlic with a little heat and a whole lot of flavor.

This sauce is also great on burgers, hot dogs, and BBQ. Any BBQ. Smoked ribs? Yep. Pulled pork? You bet. And definitely brisket.

Kosmos Q Buffalo Dry Wings

I’m a big fan of dry wings. It’s easy to be one, too, with flavors like those in these Kosmos Q Buffalo dry wings. I just cook up a batch of wings and toss them in the seasoning. That’s it. There’s nothing fancy going on here. Just good, traditional Buffalo wing flavor all in a powder (which I’m quite generous with, I do admit!). How cool and awesome is that? If you’ve never had dry wings you are really missing out. Since I discovered them I find myself ordering or making them at least half of the time I have wings.

Kosmos Q Buffalo Dry Wings

Fantastic Dry Wings With Just A Little Kick

Kosmos Q Buffalo dry wings have just the right amount of spiciness to them. It’s not crazy hot and it’s not crazy tame. Somewhere in-between. You gotta know you’re having Buffalo-inspired wings, right? Well, that’s what you get and then some!

Got Seasonings?

You have to take care of your dry seasonings. In return, they’ll take care of you by always being ready the next time you need them! Protect seasonings from the four main enemies of flavor: heat, light, air, and moisture. Never store them above the stove or oven, where steam and temperature swings cause caking and quick degradation. If you have a problem with high humidity causing your dry seasonings to cake, try adding a silica gel packet to the containers to remove moisture.

Also try some Kosmos Q Buffalo hot wing dust wings!

Kroger Parmesan Garlic Wings

My tastes in wing sauces pretty much run the gamut. I may enjoy a few spicy Buffalo wings for a bit, then I’ll need a switch. And often that switch is to one of my favorite flavor combinations: Parmesan cheese and garlic. Kroger sells a mighty fine Parmesan garlic wing sauce, and it’s quite affordable to boot! It’s easy to make and enjoy some Kroger Parmesan Garlic wings so get to it my wing-loving friends!

Kroger Parmesan Garlic Wings

Great Flavors At A Great Price

This sauce is exactly what I would want (and expect) from a wing sauce. Perfect balance of flavors. Nothing is drowning out the other tastes so I get just one. Perfect consistency. No pools of sauce at the bottom of my plate. It works and it works well. Kroger nailed another one with this one, these Kroger Parmesan Garlic wings are fantastic!

Salt and Pepper Wings

Oh my goodness. I’m a big-time chicken wing fan. Any time, anywhere, I’ll eat wings. With darn near anything on them. But sesame oil infused with garlic, onion and jalapeno? I mean, it sounded good but not something I’d ever had on wings. And wow! Was I ever surprised as to just how great these salt and pepper wings were.

Oh you get the salt and lots of black pepper, but then you get this wonderful Asian-inspired flavor that is impossible to stop eating. The sauce is the perfect balance between sharp sesame oil, spicy pepper and garlic and onion. No one flavor overpowers the rest. It’s very, very good.

Salt and Pepper Wings

So Easy, Yet So Darned Good!

Next time I fry a chicken I’m coating it in the same sauce as I used for these salt and pepper wings. And next time I make these salt and pepper wings I might double the sauce because it’s seriously addictingly good.

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.

Plucker’s Baker’s Gold Wings

Apparently, some of the staff working at Plucker’s came up with the recipe for Baker’s Gold wing sauce. Well, hats off to them for coming up with something totally different! Baker’s Gold is (I think!) a combination of two great BBQ sauces: a smoky ketchup-based sauce like a KC BBQ sauce, and a spicy mustard vinegar-based sauce, such as you’d find in the Carolinas. Heck, why make two different batches of wings with two different BBQ sauces when you can have them both in a single one! Boom! And put it on wings?!? Crazy smart! Brilliant even! Plucker’s Baker’s Gold wings are fantastic!

Plucker's Baker's Gold Wings

Every Plucker’s Sauce Is Great

I picked up eighteen different bottles of wing sauce from Plucker’s. It’s a wing restaurant based out of Austin, Texas. Every single sauce, like the sauce on these Plucker’s Baker’s Gold wings, has been fantastic. So many different exciting flavors. I’d better get to making more wings!

What Are You Waiting For?

Go make some wings! It’s not that hard to do! My go-to method is to air-fry them. A little seasoning first. Air-fried to perfection. Fantastic aroma as they cook. Crispy skin. Juicy meat. Tender.

Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ Wings

Sometimes BBQ-flavored wing sauces are too sweet for me. Or too BBQ-y. Not Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ wing sauce. I thought that this sauce was a spot-on BBQ sauce. Not only great on wings, either. I’d put this sauce on burgers, ribs, smoked chicken and even my crazy yummy pulled pork.

Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ Wings

Outdoor BBQ Flavor on Wings

One of the nice things about Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ wing sauce, besides the great taste, is the consistency. This sauce isn’t too thin, so you don’t have to worry about it running off your wings or whatever you have it slathered on. No one wants a sauce lake on their plate. And it’s not too thick. No one wants gloppy sauce that can also be used as spackle. Nope, this sauce is just right.Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet BBQ wings are just right too!

Ranch Wings

I recently spent a few days in lovely Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania while attending a conference. I made sure I had my ‘to-eat’ list down before leaving, because one thing you can be sure of finding in Pittsburgh: good food. At the top of my list was dry Ranch chicken wings.

No, not dry like ‘ewww, this meat is dry’. Dry as in the wings aren’t tossed in sauce after being cooked. Instead they are dusted with seasoning. The end result is almost like roasted chicken, but with much more pronounced flavors. Now that we are back home, I had to make some of the favorites that I devoured in Pittsburgh, like these wings, which I first experienced in our hotel bar.

Ranch Wings

The Perfect Dry Wings

I went with Ranch dressing for the dipping sauce for these wings, but seriously, you can eat them dry, as-is, with no sauce. There’s no need to drown them in sauce, the flavor stands on its own.

I am now permanently addicted to dry wings. As much as I do love my sauced wings, there are a lot of advantages to dry wings. First, the flavor combinations are endless. They’re not messy at all, making them perfect for big game parties or picnics. And a really big plus, the wing skin stays super-crazy crunchy longer. A lot longer. A wet sauce starts to soften it up the moment it touches the skin. Not with dry wings.

You can also serve your dry wings ‘sauce on the side’. Cook them dry but put some sauce in condiment cups for dunking. I really like this approach. I can enjoy a few bites of my wonderful dry wings, and I can enjoy a few bites of wonderful sauce. That’s a big win. Also, I can enjoy a whole bunch of different sauces with just one plate of wings. Just put a different sauce into each cup. Boom! Instant wing happiness!

Ranch Wings

I went with Ranch dressing for the dipping sauce for these wings, but seriously, you can eat them dry, as-is, with no sauce.

Notes

I prefer to season my wings immediately after cooking them. The seasoning will stick to the surface of the hot wings better than if you wait until they cool off.
