Arbol Chili and Garlic Wings

Oh man. My goodness. You talk about great tasting wings. These arbol chili and garlic wings were different and very, very tasty. The sauce is a wonderful blend of chiles, garlic and just enough jalapeno to give it a mild kick. A great kick. And oh such a great flavor. Southwestern-inspired, I would almost call this sauce an enchilada or taco sauce. And it’s fantastic on wings.

Perfect Heat

I mix the sauce with a little butter. Honestly, though, you can just drizzle it on your wings directly without it. Arbol chili and garlic wings are great either way. If it’s your first time making them I’d suggest you start out slow. Try the sauce right out of the bottle. Then try it with a little melted butter. See what you think. I like the taste of butter and a great hot sauce. You might want more hot sauce. Or more butter. Either way, you’ll end up with great wings in the end.

This is another great sauce from the fine folks over at the Bravado Spice Company.

Air Fryer Hooter’s Hot Wings

Oh yes! Give me a plate (or two) or air fryer Hooter’s hot wings and I am one happy guy! Sure, the traditional method involves deep frying and that’s the way to do up the classic if you have the time, deep fryer and oil. If not, the air fryer makes for some mighty respectable wings that are just hot enough, just crunchy enough, and are oh so delicious! These wings are the way wings should be, and they’re crazy easy to make!

Air Fryer Hooter's Hot Wings

You Never Forget Your First Wings

Air fryer Hooter’s hot wings take me right back to the first time I visited a Hooter’s. I went to the original store in Clearwater, FL and ordered up a big ole plate of wings and proceeded to get at it! Man, did I ever fall in love with wings right there and then. And so here I am, many years later, still enjoying Hooter’s great wings! Stop by one of the restaurants to purchase some breading and sauce (and heck, get some wings while you’re there). You can also order them online.

Instructions

  • Place wings into a resealable container. Add 1 tablespoon of the breading. Seal and shake to coat. Open the container and check for breading that isn't adhering to the wings. If there isn't any (i.e. it's all stuck to the wings!) you might want to add bit more breading, seal, and shake again. If there's a bit of breading in the container that isn't stuck to the wings, you're good to go as as much is stuck as is gonna stick!
  • Place the sealed wings into the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Preheat per manufacturer's recommendation to 400 F.
  • Lightly spray all sides of the wings with non-stick spray.
  • Add the wings to the basket (be careful it's hot!). If you have trouble fitting them without overlapping, stand the drumettes along the sides of the basket.
  • Cook wings for 10 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and cook another 10 minutes.
  • Remove wings from fryer and place in a bowl. Toss with the sauce. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
  • Serve with dressing and carrots and celery.

Notes

Note: If your wing sauce is refrigerated, place a few tablespoons of the sauce into a microwavable bowl and microwave for 20 seconds to melt.

Air Fryer Maple Wings

Yowsa. Now we’re talking about some seriously devour-worthy wings. These air fryer maple wings are beyond finger-lickingly good. As soon as I took my first bite I instantly regretted not making more wings and sauce. The wings are your standard air fryer wings. A little seasoning and cooked until the skin is crispy. The sauce, though, is the star of the show. The right sweetness. The right umami thing. And just a kiss of heat. These are great wings!

Step Up Your Teriyaki Game

You can use whatever teriyaki sauce you like to make these air fryer maple wings. But for me, my go-to teriyaki sauce is from the fine folks over at Bourbon Barrel Food. They have two versions actually. The Kentuckyaki sauce is a wonderfully bourbon-infused sauce that has such a great, deep flavor. It’s great anywhere I need a teriyaki sauce. And of course their spicy version is … spicier! It also makes for a great sauce for these wings!

Air Fryer Thousand Island Wings

No, it’s not a typo. I made air fryer Thousand Island wings. Oh and not only did I make them, I loved them. Big time. When I first read the recipe I wasn’t sure about what I was getting myself into. Was I about to waste a bunch of good ingredients for some crazy idea that should’ve never come to fruition?

Air Fryer Thousand Island Wings

Oh, That Sauce!

The wings for these air fryer Thousand Island wings are pretty much your standard, good air fryer wings. No special seasoning. No special treatment. Nothing that is going to fight with the real star of the show: the sauce. At first, the combination of Thousand Island dressing, onion soup mix and apricot preserves may seem odd. But it ends up being a wonderfully tangy, slightly sweet, tasty sauce that is truly finger-licking good.

Dip Away

Make extra sauce. Dip your wings in it. Dip chips in it. You can even dip (gasp!) chicken nuggets in it. Pretty much anything.

Want Heat?

Add a few good pinches of red pepper flake if you want a bit of a kick to your sauce. But don’t go crazy with it. You don’t want the heat to take over the wonderful flavor.

Chimichurri Wings

I love a big, juicy grilled steak topped with chimichurri sauce. That herby concoction really complements that great beef flavor. But I had never tried it on poultry before. The first time I made chimichurri wings was one of the happiest food experiences I’ve had. I could not get enough. The wings, well, they were just air-fried. Nothing fancy, but good. Crunchy skin. Lightly seasoning. But oh, that chimichurri sauce. Man. That’s great stuff, and even greater on wings!

Chimichurri Wings

Good Dippin’ Too

I poured the chimichurri sauce over my wings before serving. I loved the sauce so much that I also poured some into small cups and served that on the side for wing dippin’. A double-dose of chimi greatness, if you will. This is a dish you’ll see me make time and time again.

Plan Ahead

If you have any leftover chimichurri sauce (the recipe below makes quite a bit) you’ll want to store it in the fridge. When it comes time to use it, don’t serve it cold, though. Set it out at least an hour beforehand to come to room temperature. Don’t rush it. Don’t microwave it. Don’t warm it in a saucepan. Don’t do anything other than watch it sit there. Oh and give it a stir before using.

Pickle-Brined Wings

An online friend of mine recently told me that he never, ever throws out the brine left in a jar of pickles after all of the pickles are gone. He went on to say that he uses it to brine the chicken when he makes Nashville Hot Chicken. I thought to myself, “Darn”, as I flashed back to all of the gallons of pickle brine I’ve watched go down the drain. Though I didn’t have Nashville Hot Chicken on the brain. I wanted wings! And what I got were these delicious pickle-brined wings, super-duper moist and flavorful.

Pickle-Brined Wings

Tender and juicy

The pickle brine doesn’t smack you in the face, it just helped make the chicken more tender and juicy. Do not fear, biting into your wings won’t be like biting into a Vlasic. No, it’ll be like biting into wing greatness!

From now on I am definitely saving my pickle brine. It doesn’t have to come from just pickles either. The juice from anything pickled will do. Just save that stuff up for the next time you make pickle-brined wings and you’ll be as happy as I was.

You can buy pickle juice in jugs now, which is just about the best thing ever.

Schnucks Hot Buffalo Sauce Wings

I love it when I’m blown away by a bottled wing sauce. Specially if it was the ‘right price’. I grabbed some sauces from Schnucks, a grocery store chain in Illinois and the mid-west and could not have been happier. Schnucks hot buffalo sauce wings were spot-on what I wanted. Great flavor. Great heat. The right consistency. Just flat-out good stuff. I’d make wings with this sauce any day, any time.

Schnucks Hot Buffalo Sauce Wings

Just Make Some Wings

It doesn’t really matter what kinda cooked wings you use when you make a batch of some Schnucks hot buffalo sauce wings. Frozen and baked. Deep-fried. Air fried. Grilled. Whatever. It really doesn’t matter. Just cook them up and get them sauced and get ready for some classic Buffalo wing goodness. And yeah, you might want some blue cheese or ranch dressing on the side to cool you off a bit. These wings do have some kick to them!

This sauce is great for dipping nuggets too!

Old School Backyard BBQ Wings

One of my favorite childhood memories is of the backyard BBQs our neighborhood would have. A charcoal grill, chicken, and BBQ sauce. Oh sure there were things like potato salad and chips, too, but even as a kid I was all about that BBQ chicken. Well, nothing has changed really. Except now instead of legs or chicken quarters, I lean towards grilling wings. There’s nothing fancy going on here. Prep time is minimal. Cook time is fairly short. But these old school backyard BBQ wings hit the spot just like the chicken off the grill oh so many years ago!

Old School Backyard BBQ Wings

Don’t Over-Think It.

Like I said, there’s nothing fancy going on with these old school backyard BBQ wings. There’s no need to some $10/bottle wing seasoning. Or a high-fallutin’ BBQ sauce. Get that cheap stuff that’s been around for decades. There’s a reason it’s lasted that long. Get that.

I really like to put my sauced wings directly over the hot coals just before removing them. I like to ‘set’ the sauce and get a little char on the wings. A little crunch. Not too much, I don’t want to burn them and get that burned taste. But a little char is good.

  • Sprinkle the seasoning over the wings. Using your hands, toss the wings to coat.
  • Load up the charcoal chimney about 3/4ths of the way with charcoal and light. Once the charcoal is all lit and lightly covered in ash, dump the coals into the grill along one side. This will create two zones: a hot direct heat zone over the coals and a cooler indirect heat zone for the wings.
  • Add the charcoal grate and close the grill. Oven the top and bottoms vents all the way. Let the grill preheat for 5.
  • Place the wings on the indirect heat side of the grill. Close the lid and turn so that the vent is above the wings.
  • Cook until the wings are lightly browned and crispy, usually 45 minutes.
  • Brush the tops of the wings with BBQ sauce the last 10 minutes of cooking. Close the lid and cook another 5 minutes.
  • Flip the wings and brush with more sauce. Close the lid and cook another 5 minutes.
  • If desired, place the wings directly over the coals to get a little char on them for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve hot.

Pepper Palace Peach Barbecue Sauce Wings

I was making my way around the sampling bar at a Pepper Palace store (one of the many I’ve been to), when I came across the peach barbecue sauce. As you guessed it, the sampling bar lets you try out the various sauces, be they wing, barbecue, salsas or hot sauces, before buying them. I gave the peach sauce a try and instantly put a bottle in my cart. I knew the sauce would be great on a rack of grilled or smoked ribs. And it’d be fantastic on my Pepper Palace Peach Barbecue wings.

Pepper Palace Peach Barbecue Wings

So easy, yet so good!

It’s hard to get any easier than this recipe. Just cook up some wings and sauce them. Whether you opt to go light or heavy on the sauce, these Pepper Palace Peach Barbecue sauce wings bring a nice fruity flavor that isn’t overpowering. It’s really like biting into fresh peaches, all in a lightly sweet BBQ sauce. It’s finger-licking good, for sure!

Remember that if you have to refrigerate your open bottle of sauce, 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.

Traeger Grills ‘Que BBQ Sauce Wings

A delicious BBQ sauce makes for some really great wings. These Traeger Grills ‘Que BBQ sauce wings have that perfect traditional BBQ sauce flavor. Elevated. It’s a little sweet but not too much so. And it’s a little smoky. But not overpoweringly so. The seasoning is perfect. I’d put this sauce on anything. And I’d dip anything in it. But mostly, I want it on my wings!

Traeger Grills Texas Classic BBQ Sauce Wings

Don’t Hide The Sauce

You can make your wings however you prefer. I decided to air fry mine. No matter which way you go, I suggest you don’t over-season your wings. Go light. Maybe just salt and pepper. At most. You don’t want something that’ll fight the BBQ sauce. These Traeger Grills ‘Que BBQ sauce wings are more about the sauce than the wing. That doesn’t mean that your wings have to be blah. Just don’t go crazy with them. Some crazy hot wing seasoning is going to conflict if you’re not careful.
