I have had my share of store-bought (and restaurant-bought) wings. So many that I have compiled a huge list of them just to keep track. Many have been good. Several have been amazing. These Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet and Sour wings fall into the ‘amazing’ category for me. Without any doubt, this is easily one of my favorite slightly-sweet, slightly tangy, mild-heat sauces. Load up on this sauce because you can’t find it in the restaurants.
Make Wings. Sauce Wings. Devour Wings.
This isn’t some complicated thing here. I made some wings in my air fryer. All I did was season them lightly. I didn’t use anything that would ‘fight’ the sauce. Heck, a little salt and pepper is just fine here. The sauce is the boss. These Buffalo Wild Wings Sweet and Sour wings are a real winner. I was sorry to see the last drop of sauce disappear.

My air fryer isn’t fancy. It doesn’t have any bells and whistles. Well, ok, it does have a bell when the timer goes off but that’s it. I don’t even use the timer actually. I use a timer on my phone that has two countdowns: one for 12 minutes and one for 6 minutes. That’s all I ever need to get perfect wings each and every time!

Put any leftover sauce in an air-tight container and keep it in the fridge until the next time you make wings. When it’s time to sauce your wings don’t just pour that cold sauce over them. You’ve spent all that times getting your wings perfect. Crispy skin. Perfect coating. Hot. No matter how you cooked them, you devoted time to making sure they are spot-on delicious. Do not ruin them by adding a cold sauce. First, obviously, it’ll make them cold. In an instant. And secondly, and just as important, cold sauce will make that crunchy skin un-crunchy even quicker than a hot sauce.
So bring your sauce to at least room temperature before using it. If you want, warm it on the stovetop. I’m not a fan of using a microwave to warm sauces, but you can do that if you want.
