Somebody at Kroger wasn’t lying when they named this sauce. Kroger spicy garlic wing sauce is definitely spicy. More so than garlicky. This is a wing sauce that packs a great punch with good flavor, for a really great price. And it’s also the right consistency, important for proper sticking to wings. That’s why you want a wing sauce, right? It’s not gravy, it doesn’t belong in the bottom of your plate. It belongs on your wings.
Spicy. Garlicky. Like The Bottle Says.
If you’re using a wing sauce (be it homemade or store-bought like Kroger’s spicy garlic wing sauce) that has been refrigerated always warm it up just a bit before using it. Nothing makes a hot wing cold faster than tossing it in a sauce right out of the fridge.
I really love ‘dry’ chicken wings. By dry I mean not pre-sauced. Not ewwwy dry. Good dry. And they don’t have to be complicated either. Like these black pepper wings. Salt. Pepper. Wings. Well, ok, I did have a dipping sauce, but it’s the fantastic out-of-the-bottle Stubb’s Sweet Black Pepper Anytime sauce, which is also great as a marinade.
More Pepper Is More Better
You don’t want to be shy with the black pepper on these wings. You want that pepper kick, and even a bit of pepper heat, to come through in every bite. Stubb’s makes a variety of sauces and they’re all great on wings, even if they don’t say ‘wing sauce’ on the bottles. You’ll enjoy the intense pepperiness of these Stubb’s black pepper wings!
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.
This Buffalo wing sauce is a little tamer in the heat department, but still oh soooo good. This was my wife’s absolute favorite sauce. And her favorite wings of all time. Of all time! Man, that says a lot when you consider how many wings get eaten around here. My wife is definitely a big fan of Torchbearer Buffalo wings!
This is the second flavor of Torchbearer wing sauce that I’ve tried. The first, chipotle, was beyond crazy good with fantastic flavor and heat.
Great Tasting Heat In Every Bite
I coated these Torchbearer Buffalo wings first (ala Hooter’s wings) and then deep fried them. Tossed them in Torchbearer sauce and chowed down. And kept chowing. Oh, and don’t waste your time with those scrawny frozen uncooked wings that look like they came off crickets and not chickens. Get the big, fresh family packs.
Get yourself some of this sauce. You will not be sorry.

Kroger has a line of low-priced wing sauces that don’t disappoint. These aren’t your fru-fru, big money sauces. They’re basic and cheap, and are perfect for saucing large batches of wings without breaking the bank. Kroger Hot Buffalo wing sauce isn’t too terribly hot (to me) but it does pack a nice punch. You won’t be on your knees crying in pain, but you’ll get a kick. Trust me.
Hot, But Not Crazy Hot
Kroger’s Hot Buffalo wing sauce is also great as a dipping sauce for chicken nuggets. You can also mix it with cooked shredded chicken for a great Buffalo chicken sandwich. Grab all of the Kroger wing sauce flavors!

I’ve been contemplating how I would start this post for two days now. Not because I was searching for what to write, but because any time I started thinking about these Torchbearer Chipotle wings I got hungry and had to go make something to eat.
We were in Gatlinburg, TN, not too long ago. I stopped in to All Sauced Up, a little gourmet grocery store (full of nice folk) on main (Parkway) street in downtown Gatlinburg. So I grabbed two bottles of wing sauce from Torchbearer Sauces, one spicy chipotle and one Buffalo wing. For one thing, I noticed was that both sauces were made from stuff I wouldn’t expect in a wing sauce, like mandarin oranges. Say what?
Well, say hello to absolutely unbelievably good. I coated these wings with Torchbearer chipotle wings sauce. Yep, it’s spicy. All in all, it’s got some of the best heat I’ve had. Not in-your-face-crying-tears-of-sadness heat, but good heat with fantastic flavor. The sauce comes out thick and sticks to your wings. Nope, it doesn’t roll off and create a sauce lake in your plate (or basket). It’s just spot-on great sauce.
Spicy And Delicious
I could not get enough of these wings. Basically, I coated them first and then deep fried them. Tossed them in Torchbearer chipotle wing sauce and chowed down. So, go get you some of this sauce! You will not be sorry. At all. Oh, and the Torchbearer web site also recommends using this sauce on pork chops and in stir fry. Indeed, you don’t get that from any ole normal wing sauce.

I’ve never had chicken wings that were a bit sweet. Never thought of it, really. Until now. Fantastic maple syrup (the real stuff, not the stuff pretending to be maple syrup). Behind that sweetness is a bit of heat and smokiness, thanks to chipotle powder, something I’m finding myself using in more and more dishes every day. These maple chipotle wings are fantastic wings, something different, something pleasantly different. Something people won’t expect.
Smoky Spicy Goodness
If you don’t have chipotle powder, you can mix smoked paprika and a bit of cayenne instead. You need that hint of heat to offset the sweetness of the maple syrup, but you don’t want to bury it, so don’t get too heavy-handed with the cayenne if you do substitute it. You’ll still love these maple chipotle wings no matter what.
I love the Private Selection (Kroger’s premium brand) line of wing sauces. Each one has been fantastic, and believe me I’ve tried them all. The Private Selection Thai Chili wing sauce is no exception. It’s a wonderful combination of garlic and very mild chile peppers. It packs a very, very light punch and brings a good bit of sweetness.

Yowsa, this right here is a fantastic bottled wing sauce! On a whim I picked up a bottle each of the Private Selection wing sauces during a trip to Kroger. The first one I tried was the Gochujang Honey Garlic wing sauce. I was so seriously blown away I could not wait until I made my next batch of wings and tossed them in more sauce. Private Selection Gochujang Honey Garlic wings are a winner!
Packed With Flavors
Garlicky, spicy, sweet and with a slightly fermented chile paste flavor, wings (or for that matter, anything) covered in this sauce will be absolutely delicious.
This sauce has me excited, looking forward to the remaining sauces in my Private Selection collection. The price was right (around $3 a bottle) and the taste? Amazing. You cannot lose with Private Selection Gochujang wing sauce.

You need to stop reading this post right now and run out to Kroger and grab some Private Selection Hatch Green Chile Crema wing sauce. This is definitely one of the best bottled sauces you can find. It has the perfect yogurty creaminess. The perfect hint of Hatch chiles, a fantastic-flavored pepper that has just a hint of spiciness. Finished with a bit of lime and cilantro, I absolutely loved this sauce on wings. And I can see this sauce finding its way into other dishes. Like a southwestern macaroni-and-cheese for sure!
This Sauce Is Great By Itself
You don’t need anything else when you serve up a batch of Private Selection Hatch Green Chile Crema wing sauce. No Ranch dressing. No blue cheese. Nothing. The sauce on the wings is perfect by itself and the last thing you want to do is dilute it with other flavors. Let it shine!

I’ve been a huge fan of Cajun Power Garlic Sauce for years. I seriously don’t know why I waited so long to use it as both a chicken wing marinade and sauce. I loved these Cajun Power Garlic Sauce wings. Seasoned perfectly. A little garlicky. Nice and rich and super yummy.
More Sauce is More Better
I loved these Cajun Power Garlic Sauce wings. But guess what? Cajun Power also makes Cajun Power Spicy Garlic Sauce. Perfect for your friends (like me) that prefer their wings nice and hot! It’s not crazy spicy, but it packs a nice heat.
You can’t put enough Cajun Power Garlic Sauce on your cooked wings. I’ve tried and it’s not possible. It’s also great for dipping wings instead of your usual cooling dips like blue cheese or ranch dressing.
