Kinder’s Buffalo Wing Sauce Wings

Ya know, a good Buffalo wing sauce doesn’t have to be scorching hot to be good. In fact, I’d argue that an over-the-top hot wing sauce isn’t necessarily good, especially if you cannot taste the ingredients in the sauce. Kinder’s Buffalo wing sauce brings fantastic classic flavors. Plenty of garlic. Buttery goodness. And a wonderful mix of tasty spices. And importantly, just the right amount of vinegar. This is a great, mellow, delicious sauce that is perfect on wings.

Kinder's Buffalo Wings

A Great Sauce For A Crowd

Kinder’s Buffalo wing sauce is the kind of sauce you can easily serve at a party and not worry about anyone screaming that they can’t stand the heat. This sauce is more about great flavor than heat. If you’ve got guests that want heat, serve it to them, but save this sauce for those wanting to just enjoy fantastic wings without the burn.

This sauce is also fantastic served in little serving cups, ready for dipping your favorite chicken nuggets.

June Moon Honey BBQ Sauce Wings

I had been on a super-vinegary, mega-spicy wing sauce kick for a while. I needed a break. June Moon honey BBQ sauce rescued me, treating me to delicious sweetness and fantastic flavor. A wonderful tomato-based sauce, these perfectly-sauced wings made me very happy. No heat here, just the right balance of flavors and a hint of smokiness. This is the ideal sauce to serve your friends. Not every wing sauce has to be vinegar-based and fiery hot. Sometimes it’s ok to have a little sweet.

June Moon Honey BBQ Wings

Sweet BBQ Goodness

Oh sure, June Moon honey BBQ sauce would be great on other foods. Like grilled burgers. Or ribs. Roasted whole chicken. Or serve it as a dipping sauce for something like chicken tenders or nuggets. Things like that. But I’m not doing that. Nope, I’m keeping this sauce all to myself and I’m putting it all over my wings. I can do that. I’m a grown-up. Well, sort of.

Also try some June Moon honey mustard wings!

House of Wings Hot Wing Sauce Wings

Alliger’s House of Wings is a highly-rated establishment located in Sayre, PA, halfway between Elmira and Owego NY. It’s definitely on my to-visit list because let me tell you, their wing sauces are insanely good. I recently ordered a bottle of every single one. This time I dug into the House of Wings hot wing sauce. Traditional Buffalo wing flavors with a good bit of kick. But not too much kick.

House of Wings Hot Wings

Just the right Kick

House of Wings’ hot wing sauce doesn’t pack so much heat that that is all you get. You also get really great flavor. This is another great wing sauce from House of Wings. You can’t go wrong with any 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.

House of Wings Cajun Wing Sauce Wings

I bought a big box of bottled wing sauces from Alliger’s House of Wings. Located in Sayre, PA, Alliger’s has some of the best bottled sauces I’ve ever had. I cannot get enough of them. The Cajun wing sauce is no exception. It’s a very unique combination of Louisiana-inspired spices. It’s not too hot, either. It has just the right spiciness and the perfectly different flavor. It’s different and very good.

House of Wings Cajun Wings

Buffalo-Inspired Cajun Wings

My only complaint about House of Wings Cajun wing sauce is that I didn’t order enough of it. Like the rest of Alliger’s sauces, it’s vinegar based. Like a more traditional Buffalo wing sauce. There’s nothing mysterious about it, it’s just good and you always end up with a fantastic wing experience. Ok, so my other complaint is that I wish I lived closer to Sayre, Pennsylvania!

G Hughes Sugar Free Sweet Honey Wings

It seems that, often, you can tell how many carbohydrates there are in a store-bought wing sauce based on just how yummy it is. Those sweet sauces don’t usually come for ‘free’. G Hughes Sugar Free Sweet Honey wing sauce is turning that idea around. Usually, sugar-free sauces are taste-free to boot, but not in this case. This sauce is packed with sweet honey flavor. And sometimes that sugar free stuff is a bit thin. Nope, not in this case either. This is a just-right-consistency sauce. No lakes of sauce at the bottom of my wing plate. This is a great finger-licking sauce. If the bottle didn’t say ‘sugar free’ I would’ve never even thought about it.

G Hughes Sugar Free Sweet Honey Wings

Have No Doubt, This Is A Great Sauce

I was surprised by how good G Hughes Sugar Free Sweet Honey wing sauce was since I’d been burned by sugar free sauces before. I’m happy with this sauce, very happy, and I look forward to trying all of the other sauces from G Hughes, from wing sauces to BBQ sauces. I probably owe them an apology for doubting them.

Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning Dry Wings

Please don’t tell anyone this. But I ate Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning dry wings three days in a row. In my defense, this seasoning is absolutely delicious. A little garlic and a really good amount of cayenne and a few other good things come together in what is one of the best wing seasonings around. Heck yeah, you can use it on fries or baked potatoes or whatever, but not me. I’m saving it all for wings.

Frank's RedHot Original Seasoning Dry Wings

The Perfect Dry Wing

I prefer to make my Frank’s RedHot Original Seasoning dry wings in my air fryer. First, it’s easy. Second, they come out fantastic. I season the wings a little before cooking. Then when they’re done, and while they’re still crazy hot, I really season them. Like a lot. More is better. Then I burn my tongue with the first bite because I have no patience. They’re so good that I cannot wait like a normal person for them to cool off.

The folks over at Frank’s RedHot know what they are doing. These are some great wings. Also try their mild Buffalo wings!

Tabasco Sweet and Spicy Sauce Wings

I would like to propose a new national holiday. It’s in honor of whoever at TABASCO came up with this sauce. Oh sure, they said it’d be great on veggies. Or on tacos. Maybe in a stir fry. Sure, dip some nuggets in it. But these Tabasco Sweet and Spicy sauce wings are really the best destination for this sauce. This is sweet chili sauce elevated. A little sweet. A little heat. And a complex flavor that is a combination of hints of ginger, garlic and even pear. This sauce is beyond finger-licking good.

Tabasco Sweet and Spicy Sauce Wings

Yes, You In The Back

If I was invited to a meeting at the TABASCO sauce board (if they have such a thing) I’d raise my hand and ask the one obvious question. “Why isn’t this available in a 5 gallon jug?” That’s my only complaint about these Tabasco sweet and spicy sauce wings. I go thru the sauce so fast I need a bigger jug of it. Just a suggestion. I’m ok with having to buy 10 bottles of it at a time too. For now.

Smoked and Fried Wings

Wonderfully smoky, tender meat with a lightly crispy skin, these smoked and then fried chicken wings were a thing of beauty. These are one of the most dangerous things you could ever put in front of me. I don’t even need any sauce to toss or dunk them in, either. Just give me a big basket of them and get out of the way!

Smoked and Fried Wings

First You Smoke ‘Em

The process is simple. Season your wings, and place them onto your smoker. No messing around with them either. Just smoke for 2 hours.

Then You Fry Them

When the wings are done you toss them into a deep fryer for a minute or so, until golden brown and lightly crispy. You can also make a big huge batch and freeze the smoked wings (before frying). All you have to do is thaw them and deep fry them when you’re ready to serve them at a later time. I was worried that making them from the frozen smoked wings would result in over-cooked, tough wings, but oh no, they were fantastic!

There’s a brewpub by our house that makes crazy-good chicken wings. They smoke them first over a mix of mesquite and cherry woods, then flash fry them. They sauce them then place them over a hot flame to finish them off. My approach is similar, but I don’t always put them onto the grill at the end. They are fantastic either way, but grilling them real quick does help set the sauce.

Got an air fryer too? Also try some air fryer wings.

Instructions

  • Fire up your smoker for 225 F. Use any wood you like. I used Jack Daniel’s whiskey barrel chunks because I wanted a good, noticeable smoke flavor. Use a lighter wood if you want your wings to be a little less smoky.
  • Toss the wings with plenty of the wing seasoning.
  • Place the wings onto the smoker and smoke for 2 hours. No need to rotate or flip them.
  • When done, remove from the smoker. You can deep fry them immediately or freeze them for thawing and frying later.
  • To fry, heat canola oil to 350 F.
  • Working in batches, add the wings and fry for 1-2 minutes or until they are the desired color.
  • Let cool slightly. Serve tossed with your favorite sauce and your favorite dipping sauce on the side. Click here for our guide on how to sauce your wings.
  • Optional: Toss the wings onto a hot grill for 1 minute after saucing them to set the sauce.

Spicy Japanese Barbecue Sauce Wings

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

It’s happened again. These Bachan’s Spicy Japanese Barbecue sauce wings have gone and made me sad, just like when I first tried their regular barbecue sauce. 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 with just a little kick (nothing to be afraid of!), it’s what teriyaki sauce wishes it could be. I cannot stop eating wings covered in this sauce (or the non-spicy version too!).

Spicy Japanese Barbecue Sauce Wings

Sauce ‘Em And Devour ‘Em

The sauce is a little on the thin side, just like its no-heat version. 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. If you want, do like I do and put a small bowl of extra sauce on the side for dipping your spicy Japanese barbecue sauce wings. You won’t regret it.

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.

Also try the non-spicy version of these wings.

Rotisserie-Seasoned Air Fryer Wings

The air fryer does a great job making great wings. With little effort they come out crispy and juicy. Here lately I’ve found myself badly addicted to rotisserie chicken seasoning. There’s something about the aroma and taste that really appeals to me. You get that slow-roasted chicken flavor and aroma. There’s a wonderfully fantastic golden color. Your mouth begins to water long before you take that first bite. On wings, it’s fantastic. These rotisserie-seasoned air fryer wings smell and taste just like the chicken you can get at your supermarket.

Rotisserie-Seasoned Air Fryer Wings

Oh, That Crunchy Delicious Skin!

Besides that great classic flavor, these rotisserie-seasoned air fryer wings have super crunchy, delicious skin. You’re definitely going to think you’re eating battered deep-fried chicken. But you’re not. Just a little seasoning and baking powder goes into making these wings fantastic. You ‘dry’ the wings for a short time in the fridge before cooking them. That helps ensure that the skins will get nice and crunchy. So does the baking powder, mixed into the seasoning. Finally, when the wings are cooked to perfection, and while they’re still hot, you sprinkle them with a bit more of the seasoning.

No Dipping Sauce Needed

You can serve these wings ‘dry’, without any dipping sauce. They’re delicious just straight up seasoned and nothing else. You can also serve them with a bit of blue cheese or ranch dressing for a little dipping action.
