Favorite wing sauce

Recommended Posts

I like tang and plenty of heat on my wings.  Franks and butter is to plain.

Im sure there are thousands of sauces available to buy online.   Lets make a list of good ones

 

For me, it's  One Legged Chicken from Lanes Barbecue in Georgia.   Saw an add for it and gave them a try.  It's some good shiot.

 

What you got?

I came here to fight.

Dry rubs are far superior to a sauce.  And fock blue cheese.  Ranch is so much better.

I know it sounds cheesy, but I've been doing most of my rubbed wings in an air fryer for the last few years.  Works pretty well, but mostly because my kids like them that way.

Mrs just asked me about air fryers this morning.  I am willing to give it a try... but love them smoked

Place up the street makes BlackBerry habanero sauce. UNBELIEVABLE!  And it's got to be blue cheese. Keep your ranch.

Ranch is for children. Chunky blue cheese dressing is for adults. Yum.

I like both dry rubs and sauce. I think they both have merit. Prefer sauce though.

Ranch though, no bueno.

Hoisin/lime recipe would be appreciated.  :cheers:

My wife tends to make 3 when we make wings:  Franks/butter is her favorite (medium), I prefer garlic butter with Asiago or Parmesan, and kids like bbq (usually just out of a bottle).

She bakes the wings with no sauce, then put’s each sauce in a Tupperware.  You get to pick however many of whatever flavor you want, stick them in the Tupperware, shake vigorously, and walla.  :cheers: 

I do like dry rubs but we tend to do that with larger chicken legs, not wings.  Not sure why.  We just did some with a Caribbean spice that was good.

Also blue cheese >>>>>>>>>>>> ranch.

Been using the old Anchor Bar recipe for 20 years, Franks Red Hot & butter but a lot of other spices. I use rubs on my chicken breast though. I did make a Saracha & Honey sauce that was pretty good once.

1 c hoisin

1/4 - 1/2 c lime juice

2 tbs sambal oelek

2 tbs minced garlic

2 tbs minced ginger

1/2 c red wine (if you want it sweeter, go with a riesling)

in a pot, quickly sweat the garlic and ginger... add everything else and reduce to a somewhat thick consistency. 

 

Optional: i have added sesame oil, br sugar, honey for different flavors.  I prefer sambal to sriracha, but you can sub if you cannot find it.

I recently tried the blazin Reaper sauce from Bww. It is very hot with a lot of flavor. I love the sauce and would recommend to anyone looking for serious heat

Don’t worry... I do not have a lot of time to post newer recipes.  Your franks and butter is in it’s safe space for a while.

Wasn't the point of the thread (and threads like this) to expand from the basics? Many people want to change things up.

Thanks, we ended up doing this and a butter/garlic/Parmesan sauce as options.  For the Asian one, FWIW, we felt it was too Hoisin, so we added some honey, then doubled up the lime.  Very tasty, thanks again.  :cheers:

Anything with minced garlic, onio, and hoisin sauce tastes pretty good.  I use similar in many recipes, although I have not ever mixed it with lime sauce.

That is too bad, hoisin is one of the great flavors out there. You should always use more than what the recipe calls for.

 

I know we go through at least 6-10 large containers of hoisin every year, it is the best.

It is not an exotic ingredient, although Bier made it sound more exotic than ti really is. It is just an asian chili seeds inside an oil sauce. I use similar sauces when sauteing spinach/bean leaves in olive oil and salt. 

 

If you do not have an asian chili paste, and you like spicy foods, you should learn to cook with one. The asians such as Sichuan, Thailand, and south Indian Food >>> spicy mexican food.

Oh, we like Hoisin, my comment was just that the recipe was too strong on it.  We just felt that the honey added a little more sweetness, and the tart of the lime offset it along with the Hoisin.

Regarding spiciness, there seemed to be more in our taste tests than came through with the wings.  I’d probably add a little more of the sambas oelek the next time around.  But sometimes that shows more after sitting overnight, we’ll see how it tastes on leftovers tomorrow.  :cheers:

It is only 1 cup, that is barely any at all, most of my american-asian fusion dishes use more than that. I probably would also double the garlic and the spicy chili paste. With any good asian or italian dish you cannot stand withing 5 feet of a loved one due to garlic breath.

Here in China, chicken wings are extremely popular. Damn near every restaurant serves them.

Problem is... No sauce. At all. They are just plain ass baked chicken wings. If you ask for sauce, they bring ketchup (chinese people are under the impression that ketchup is the only western sauce). And even the ketchup is this sickening sweet crap.

I'd kill for some good bufallo sauce over here.
