Fire-Eater Habanero Wings

I don’t normally like to eat chicken wings that are so blazingly hot that you fall to the floor and curl up into a fetal position. I like great flavor with a bit of heat. These fire-eater habanero wings can satisfy your craving for serious heat, or if you’re like me, satisfy your craving for tasty, slightly hot, wings. It’s all in the amount of habanero sauce you add. For me, that means just enough to make my lips tingle and my eyes water. These wings came out fantastic, and are by far my favorite hot-and-spicy wings.

Fire-Eater Habanero Wings

Heat is Good

I cooked these Fire-Eater habanero wings using the Vortex insert on my Weber Performer grill. The end result is perfectly cooked wings, with nice crunchy skin, and great cooked-over-fire flavor

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!

Four Sixes Salt Creek Hot Sauce Wings

A plate of wings? A plate of wings?!? What was I thinking when I only made a plate of these Four Sixes Salt Creek hot sauce wings? I should’ve made a bucket of wings! A simple combination of hot sauce and butter made for some of the best finger-lickingly great wings I’ve had. The sauce has just the right amount of heat. It is seasoned perfectly. Nothing too strong, but just right all-around.

Four Sixes Salt Creek Hot Sauce Wings

Heat. Your Way.

A bottle of hot sauce and a little butter make for a great wing sauce. Nice thing is you can adjust the heat to whatever level you want. Some days I want my wings hot. Blazing hot. Then I use very little butter. Enough for a taste. Some days I want my wings a bit more mellow. Those days I use more butter. It’s just that easy. These Four Sixes Salt Creek Hot Sauce wings were easy. And delicious.

Garlic Parmesan Wings

These savory garlic Parmesan chicken wings were just absolutely fantastic. Nutty Parmesan cheese pairs well with earthy garlic. For me, just a little bit of cool Ranch dressing for dipping is all that is required. I want to enjoy the flavor of the wings, so I just dip a bit, if at all. The sauce is mighty finger-licking good. And it’s loaded with garlic, my favorite.

Garlic Parmesan Wings

Great Wings. Very Great Wings.

I cooked these garlic Parmesan wings on my Weber charcoal grill using the Vortex, which gives me that great crunchy skin and fantastic grilled flavor without a lot of effort. In fact, just about no effort whatsoever. It takes about 45 minutes for me to get the charcoal in the Vortex good and hot. Then it takes about another 45 minutes to cook the wings. The wings take on a great hint of charcoal flavor to boot, which is a nice change from deep-fried or even air-fried wings.

Grippo’s-Crusted Wings

There’s a fine line between fried wings and fried chicken. You know, the fried chicken your grandma would make that is brined in buttermilk, coated in seasoned in flour, and fried to perfection. These Grippo’s-crusted wings come close to crossing that line. But seriously, who cares? They’re just great tasting wings no matter what. You get just the right hint of that Grippo’s BBQ chip flavor. As addicting as the chips are, so are these wings. Just as I can sit down and eat a bag of the chips, I can eat a big batch of these wings just as quickly!

Grippo's-Crusted Wings

Crazy-Good Chip-Crusted Wings

Oh sure, you could use another potato chip if you wanted to. Or had to. Specially if you’re one of the unfortunate ones that live where they can’t get Grippo’s! They’re definitely great wings, and they make for the best crunchy coating on fried chicken wings too!

Ingredients

For the wings

  • 3-4 pounds chicken wings flats and drumettes separated, tips saved to make stock

For the dredge (makes more than you'll need for 6 servings)

For the Grippo's coating

Instructions

  • Combine all of the dredge ingredients (don't add the chips yet). Store in an air-tight container. You won't need all of it for a batch of wings, so keep the extra on hand for frying wings or chicken pieces.
  • When you are ready to make the wings, place just enough of the dredge into a bowl for the wings. Don't go crazy with it, less is more.
  • Add a good few handfuls of chips (to taste) to a resealable bag. Seal and crush with the edge of your hand. Don't pulverize them, you want some texture, but you don't want any big pieces either. Add to the dredge and mix well.
  • To use, rinse your wings and pat dry. Place into a bowl or pie plate.
  • Sprinkle with coating as desired. Toss or roll to coat.
  • Transfer to the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • Sprinkle again with a small amount of coating. Again toss or roll to coat.
  • Return to the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • To fry, bring a few inches of oil to 350 F. Fry wings 9-12 minutes or until done, turning as they cook. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  • Serve.

Honey Hot Fried Wings

These honey hot fried wings were absolutely incredible. They’re deep-fried. The result is a crunchy skin and batter flavored with one of my favorite things, Old Bay seasoning. The sauce is a combination of honey, hot sauce and sesame oil. It’s a different taste that is amazing. Sweet, heat and umami in each and every bite. What started out as a shrimp recipe ended up being some of the best wings I’ve ever had. I cannot say enough how wonderful these were.

Honey Hot Fried Wings

Deep-Fried Deliciousness

I didn’t sauce these honey hot fried wings like I would my traditional deep fried wings. The sauce is full of flavor. Use it sparingly. The wings are ‘kissed’ with the sauce. Not drowned in it. It’s ok to double the sauce portion of the recipe if you prefer more sauce.

If I’m cooking for a crowd, I’ll break out my big deep fryer to make wings like these. But, if it’s just the two of us, I’ll fire up my Fry Daddy fryer. It’s the perfect size for both of us. It fries everything perfectly. And as an added bonus, it doesn’t use a lot of oil, which saves me money.

Honey Old Bay Wings

My addiction to Old Bay seasoning began long ago. And as often as possible, I feed my addiction. Seafood and wings are my favorite uses of the classic seasoning. These honey Old Bay wings not only have that great seafood seasoning flavor, they have a bit of sweetness too. And a bit of heat. Not a lot, but just a hint. Nothing to overpower the main reason I made these wings: Old Bay flavor. I’m a big time Old Bay addict and I’m ok admitting it.

Honey Old Bay Wings

The Perfect Wings?

My favorite variation on these honey Old Bay wings is to leave out the cayenne pepper and substitute Mike’s Hot Honey for ‘regular’ honey instead. Mike’s Hot Honey is just that: hot danged honey! It’s creamy smooth and packs a serious kick. It’s not for the faint of heart, so if you’re a bit worried about the heat, try adding just a bit of it to your ‘regular’ honey and give it a taste.

Jalapeno Peach Wings

I think it’s safe to say that I am addicted to chicken wings. They’re one of the most versatile dishes you can make. There are literally thousands of different sauces and seasonings for them. When I walk thru the grocery store I always look to see what is in season. Chances are, whatever it is, it can be made into a wing sauce. These jalapeno peach wings are a great example. That wonderful peach flavor with just a little spicy kick. Add a little sweetness and a nice vinegary snap and you end up with fantastic tasting wings.

Jalapeno Peach Wings

A Wonderful Fresh-Made Sauce

I wouldn’t hesitate to make an extra big batch of the sauce and use it to slather onto grilled or roasted chicken. Or brush it onto a rack of ribs just before pulling them off your smoker or grill. And it’s also fantastic on top of a chicken sandwich. The sauce is definitely not just for jalapeno peach wings but it sure is mighty good on them!

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!

Kentuckyaki Sauce Wings

I had no idea. None. I picked up a bottle of Kentuckyaki sauce at the Kentucky Artisan Center because it seemed and looked different. Unique. I was worried it might be too bourbon-y. Would I like it on wings? Well I gotta say, this sauce makes for some of the best wings I’ve ever had. Slightly sweet. A little hint of teriyaki. Garlic and ginger. Sounded Asian-inspired, but with a Kentucky twist: a splash of bourbon. And just the right amount, too. This is the perfect sauce, and Kentuckyaki sauce wings are the perfect wings! Shout out to the fine folks at Bourbon Barrel foods. Great job!

Kentuckyaki Wings

A Great Sauce For Other Dishes

You can sure bet that this sauce is great on a whole lot of other things. I’d tell you what, but honestly, I’m going to use the entire bottle making Kentuckyaki sauce wings. And next time I’m on I-75 in the area of Berea, KY, I’m going to stop at the artisan center again and pick up some more. And I’m going to make more of these wings. I always stop there when I’m in the area. They always have unique foods and crafts. And a great little café too!

Go Easy, My Friend

I’m always leery of tossing deep-fried wings in sauce. You have to be gentle or that crunchy coating you worked so hard to get comes flying off. I recommend either drizzling the wings first and gently stirring with a spatula or brushing the sauce on. You can also just serve the sauce on the side for dipping.

Instructions

For the sauce

  • Heat 2-3" of oil in a deep-fryer or Dutch oven. While it's warming up, make the sauce.
  • In a medium sauce pan over medium-high heat, add the Kentuckyaki sauce, pineapple juice, brown sugar and hot sauce. Stir.
  • In a small glass or bowl, mix the corn starch and water together. I like to use a fork for this. Make sure you get them well-combined.
  • Let the sauce come to a boil. Whisk in the cornstarch mixture. Continue whisking while the sauce thickens, another 2 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let sit while you make the wings. Note: If the sauce gets too thick as it sets, whisk in a teaspoon or two of warm water to thin it.

For the wings

  • Place the flour in a large bowl. Stir in the salt and pepper.
  • Working in batches if needed, add the wings to the flour and coat well. Turn them several times, making sure you get the wings covered in flour.
  • Shake off any excess flour and add to the hot oil. Deep fry 7-10 minutes or until the wings hit 165 F. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate or wire rack over a baking sheet to drain.
  • Transfer wings to a large bowl. Drizzle with the sauce. Using a spatula, turn the wings to coat well.
  • Remove wings to a platter and serve.

Kirkwood Buffalo Style Chicken Wings

I’m a fresh wing kinda guy. Usually. Sometimes I don’t have time to prepare wings from scratch. Or worse, I can’t find fresh wings in my grocery store. Or I just want to try something new. I was in Aldi the other day, picking up fresh wings (they have great fresh wings). I decided to check out the freezer cases before I headed to the checkout. And there they were. Kirkwood Buffalo style chicken wings. They looked good. I bought them. And I made them. And you know what? They were good!

Kirkwood Buffalo Style Chicken Wings

Actual Wings. No Weird Stuff.

I’ve purchased some weird looking frozen wings. They were pre-battered, like these. But they didn’t look like wings. Kirkwood Buffalo style chicken wings are pre-battered. And they look like wings. Because they are actual wings. They’re sauced just right, in a sauce with good Buffalo flavor and a hint of heat. They’re meaty. I liked them. A lot.

Seven Servings. LOL.

The 22 ounce bag of wings I bought said it was 7 servings. Maybe somewhere in an alternate universe of really tiny people. Not me. I’d call them 4 servings at most. If you’re having a big party and need a bunch of wings, these are going to go over great. Just make sure you buy more than you think you’ll need. They’re good and people will want more. You bet I did.

I baked my wings on a silicone mat. I tried what the instructions on the bag stated and sprayed a baking pan with non-stick spray, but found that the wings still stuck. The silicone mat was much better.

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • If you have a silicone baking mat, line a baking sheet with the mat and add the wings. If you do not have a silicone baking mat, liberally spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray and add the wings. I prefer to start with the bone-side of the wings down (for flats). For the drums it doesn't matter.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Gently turn the wings. I use a fork or rubber spatula for this. I've found that tongs will tend to tear the coating/skin if the wings stick any.
  • Bake another 10-15 minutes or until turning lightly golden in color and the wings internal temperature is 165 F.
  • Let the wings rest for 5 minutes before serving. They will still be piping hot so be careful!

Korean BBQ Wings

I know I’ve got a great wing sauce when I consider getting a spoon and just eating it right out of the pan. These Korean BBQ wings were fantastic, thanks to a delicious sauce that packs just the right amount of heat. And it’s the perfect, spot-on consistency to boot. There were darned good wings.

Korean BBQ Wings

Asian-Inspired Wing Greatness

I made the sauce exactly as you see below. You’ll notice that it does call for a good amount of sesame oil. If you find sesame oil a bit strong you might want to start with half the amount listed and taste to see if you want more. I went full-bore and loved it.

The sauce for these Korean BBQ wings isn’t just great on wings, either. I strongly recommend you at least double the recipe. You’ll want some sauce on hand to brush (or dip) grilled chicken. It’s also fantastic on smoked or grilled ribs.

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!
