Kinder’s Black Cherry Chipotle Dry Wings

Wow. Just wow. I’ve had my share of different flavors of dry wings but these Kinder’s black cherry chipotle wings are different and then some. Tart and sweet, I could not stop eating them. No sauce required. No Ranch or blue cheese dressing required. Just good ole wings and seasoning. I used an air fryer but you can cook them any way you like. Just make sure to load them up on the seasoning because they are delicious.

Head To The Spice Aisle

I found this seasoning near a bunch of other seasonings in the store. It wasn’t the ‘Wing Section’ of the store either. This is why it pays to look around and think to yourself ‘would that be good on wings?’. The answer is often yes. It was a definite ‘yes’ when it came to these Kinder’s black cherry chipotle dry wings.

Surprise!

If you’re looking to get some looks of happiness and surprise, serve these wings next time you’re watching the big game with friends. They’ll be more than pleasantly surprised at just how good and different they are.

Kinder’s also makes a black cherry BBQ sauce. It’s great on wings 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.

Kinder’s Sticky Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

If you have some BBQ sauce and wings on hand, you’re good-to-go. Just cook up those wings, and toss them in the sauce. Wings don’t have to be all Buffalo-style every time. Change it up. One of my favorite ways to do things a little different is to grab whatever BBQ sauce I have sitting around. There’s usually a number of them, too. This time I made some Kinder’s Sticky Honey BBQ sauce wings. This is some good sauce, and it makes for some good wings!

Kinder's Sticky Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

Sweet And Tasty

You know there’s honey in it, so you these Kinder’s Sticky Honey BBQ sauce wings are gonna be on the sweet side. I like sweet wings. Now, if you’re thinking you want a bit of a kick to yours too, add a few drops of your favorite hot sauce to the BBQ sauce first, then sauce your wings. Or keep them sweet like I did.

You almost always get messy when you eat wings. That’s why I didn’t let the ‘sticky’ part worry. Heck it can be as sticky and as messy as it wants to be. In fact, the more of both the better.

Just Make Some Wings

I’m gonna say it doesn’t really matter how you cook your wings here. But it kinda does. Don’t season your wings with anything that ends up ‘fighting’ with this sauce. Sure, a little salt and pepper are ok. And even a bit of cayenne if you want some heat. But nothing so overwhelming that it changes the taste of the sauce or worse, completely overwhelms it. Enjoy the sauce. That’s why you bought it!

Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wing Sauce Wings

I’m not required to pick a favorite, but this is my favorite wing sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings. The right amount of spiciness, a hint of coconut and a bit of curry. I could drink this sauce right out of the bottle. Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry wing sauce is fantastic on wings, and it’s also great on ribs, chicken sandwiches, and it makes a great sauce for dipping chicken nuggets.

Buffalo Wild Wings Thai Curry Wings

More, Please!

I’m a big fan of curry flavors. And aromas. And this sauce has both. There’s no mistaking wings that are covered in this sauce. You won’t take a taste and find yourself wondering… “Is that curry I taste?”. There’s no question about it.

Blonde Beard’s Black Magic Wing Sauce Wings

If you’re a big fan of Buffalo-style wings, but you’re getting a bit bored with the same-ole, same-ole, then Blonde Beard’s Black Magic wing sauce is just what you need. You know the moment you look at the bottle: it’s got plenty of pepper and other spices in it. It’s not a super spicy wing sauce, but it does have a bit of a kick. Just enough. It’s a great twist on the classic sauce.

Blonde Beard's Black Magic Wings

A Great, Quality Sauce

I’ve been really happy with Blonde Beard’s. IPA Buffalo! Holy Hell! Chicken and Waffles! And of course, Blonde Beard’s Black Magic wing sauce. They’re made from quality stuff, got just the right spiciness and all taste fantastic. My only complaint is that I didn’t order enough of them!

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.

Backyard BBQ Wings

These Backyard BBQ wings bring back memories. Memories of years ago, as a kid, enjoying those classic neighborhood grill-outs. The dads gathered around charcoal grills, the moms chatting away in a circle of lawn chairs. Us kids playing, running all over the place and even getting yelled out when we came to close to the grill.

Backyard BBQ Wings

Every Bite A Memory

There’s nothing I would change about Backyard BBQ wings. They’re easy to make. They come out juicy, tender and delicious. And they remind me of that grilled barbecue chicken from long ago.

You’d find mostly grilled chicken and burgers at these cook-outs. The chicken would be heavily brushed in BBQ sauce. Like these wings. Same great flavors as back then, but on delicious wings instead.

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!

Crystal Hot Wing Sauce Wings

I’ve been a fan of Crystal Hot Sauce since the moment I first tasted it. It’s such an incredibly tasty hot sauce. I was waiting for the fine folks to come out with a wing sauce version of their famous sauce. Heck, while I was waiting I made a Buffalo wing sauce based on their hot sauce while I was waiting. Well, the wait is over, Crystal Pure Louisiana Original Hot Wing Sauce is here. Now I can enjoy Crystal Hot Wings any time, in minutes. This is the wing sauce dreams are made of. Just the right heat. And the most incredible aged cayenne pepper flavor around. I love these wings.

Crystal Hot Wings

Nothing But Great Taste In Every Bite

Crystal Hot wing sauce wings are 100% about flavor. Great flavor. You may find yourself like me: wanting to devour the wings in front of you. But resist. Go slow. Enjoy each and every tasty bite. You’ll be so glad you did. These wings are a wonderful take on traditional Buffalo wings.

Frederik’s By Meijer Hatch Chile Wing Sauce Wings

I have to say that here in the mid-west, I hadn’t had much of a history with Hatch chiles until a few years ago when I bought an entire case of them and roasted them. I’ve been searching them out ever since. To my pleasant surprise, along came Frederik’s by Meijer Hatch Chile wing sauce. This sauce is nice and creamy and not too thick. I could see the Hatch (and green) chiles floating happily in the bottle. I knew I was in for goodness.

Frederik's By Meijer Hatch Chile Wings

Fantastic Hatch Chile Flavor

Frederik’s by Meijer Hatch Chile wing sauce has a hint of garlic. And just the slightly amount of heat. And plenty of great balanced pepper flavors. I mean you can taste the peppers! Don’t laugh. I’ve had sauces that said they tasted like something-or-other and they didn’t even come close. This sauce delivers on its pepper promise.

If I am serving my wings with Ranch or blue cheese or some other sauce, I use these little sauce dipping cups. They’re the perfect size for dipping wings, nuggets, tenders and even vegetables.

Wing It Honey BBQ Wing Sauce Wings

Just think. One day, perhaps not too long ago, someone at Wing It woke to what was probably a day like every other. Except it wasn’t. That day, one of the best BBQ-inspired wing sauces would be created. It was to be a special day. And in my opinion, a day worthy of being considered a national holiday. Wing It Honey BBQ wing sauce is everything you could hope for, dream for, yearn for, in a lightly smoky, sweet, tomato-based sauce. It’s not shy about being thick. It’s not shy about being sweet, either. This sauce means business. This is easily one of my favorite sauces of all time.

Wing It Honey BBQ Wings

Could This Be The Perfect Sweet Sauce?

I absolutely cannot get enough Wing It Honey BBQ wing sauce wings. Yeah, I could put this sauce on just about anything hot off the grill. Like burgers, or split chicken breasts, ribs, brisket and even pulled pork. But boy oh boy do I ever enjoy the heck out of it on my wings.

Pretty Thai Muay Thai Sauce Wings

These Pretty Thai Muay Thai sauce wings are exactly why it pays to wander around your grocery store with an eye out for anything that might make good on wings. I picked up some of the Pretty Thai sauces in the Asian section. Sure, I had stir-fry on the brain too, but first and foremost I thought of only one thing. Wings. So I made up a quick batch of easy wings, tossed them in some sauce and got to it!

Pretty Thai Muay Thai Wings

Get Funky With It

These Pretty Thai Muay Thai sauce wings have a nice lip-tingling citrus tang that you get pretty early on. And there’s a little of that great fish sauce ‘funkiness’. That umami flavor you don’t find much anywhere else. And oh yes, a bit of heat from Thai chili. It’s got a nice spice level to it, I really liked it.

This sauce may seem a little thin. It was meant for stir-fry and the like. But it works just fine on wings.
