WINGS AND YOUR SAUCES.

[Boss .300 winmag]

Ok everyone time to share your chicken wings sauce recipes.

I make Franks wing sauce a lot, and use just ranch or blue cheese as well. I made honey mustard tonight off the inter webs and wasn’t impressed with it.

I know I’m not the only chicken wing lover on here.

Dry rub only on wings for me.  Put them on the pellet grill or regular bbq.  Try it, you’ll never go back.

[vandeman17]

Not for wings but thighs. I like to do 2 to 1 ratio of orange juice and teriyaki sauce

Yep I’ve done that and like them. But it’s cold outside this time of year, and I don’t have a good place under cover to do that.

Deep fried thighs, wonder how that would turn out.

Sear them in cast iron then bake. Amazing.

Now, that definitely sounds delicious.

I strongly agree with this.

The big thing is seasoning you can buy at Red Robin , I pat the wings dry then coat them good in that seasoning and BBQ ,  I make a batch like that and then another batch but I put sweet baby rays original on it, let it carmelize and then another coat and let it carmelize!! I LOVE a thick layer of gooey sweet baby rays, and I LOVE wings

This recipe is from The Barbecue Bible.  In the book they're called "Jake's Eat It and Beat It Wings".  This recipe makes the most delicious wings! I was a bit skeptical about the oregano, but it really makes the recipe.  3-3.5 lbs wings, 2 tsp cayenne, 2 tsp oregano, 2 tsp garlic salt, and 2 tsp black pepper.  Put all in a big Ziploc or covered bowl in the fridge for 24 hours before cooking.  Mix or stir a few times while they're "marinating".  I usually cook mine for about 1.5 hours on my Weber kettle on indirect heat with at least a couple handfuls of wood chips.  Turn once at about 45 minutes.

I like to mix softened butter with a bunch of tapatio hot sauce, brush on the wings then bake them in the oven.

[Angry Perch]

OK, I love me some wings, but I've gotta put my foot down. Smoked. Baked. BBQd. They're all delicious. But a true chicken wing comes out of a deep fryer, and it doesn't get dipped in ranch or honey mustard!
Carry on.

So other than oil, what’s gives it flavor?

[merkaba93]

Take wings and cut into drumlettes and winglettes, at least that's what I call them.
Pat dry.
Create a flour/salt/pepper dredge. Coat once. Let rest a few min, then coat again.
Deep fry at 375 until they float (8-12 min).

Then toss them in your favorite sauce and serve immediately. CJ's from Columbia Missouri is my fav.

Se Merkaba's response below. But can also add garlic powder, cayenne, Old Bay, or whatever clicks your switch. Lately my go to sauce has been fish sauce, soy, rice vinegar, sugar, green onions, lemon grass, etc.

[NRA4LIFE]

I'm a purist.  Separated wing sections go into the deep fryer naked at 375 until golden brown. Sorry guys and gals, but, putting anything on them before they go into the fryer should be illegal, just opinion obviously, to each his own. Let rest for 2-3 minutes to crisp up a bit more (like bacon) then toss in the sauce.  Mine is a mix of Crystals, a bit of my homemade habanero sauce, a bit of butter and few squirts of some hot cane vinegar (from the Asian grocery store).  A couple drops of Yoshida's in there is good too.

[Crunchy]

Salt pepper then deep fry.  Toss in Franks with a dash of honey.

[HighlandLofts]

Deep fried, then in Frank's Sauce that I add a little butter, cyanne pepper, with diced up hubbanero and jalopenno peppers,simmer to blend the sauce snd have at it.

Yea I think I’ll pass on this one, don’t want to feel the burn twice.

Keep the recipes coming everyone, some really good ideas.

[The scout]

So this may be a dumb question. Do you all leave the skins on? I have to have wings this weekend after reading this

[Crunchy]

Yes, leave the skin on.  Crispy skin is the best part

[bigjohn98591]

I bake mine in the oven, flipping half way through. Can't remember the total length of time off the top my head. Then I deep fry them to crisp them up, by doing this they are a bit less oily. Then I mix Franks Red hot and melted butter(heavier on the Franks) toss to coat and enjoy with some Blue cheese dressing and a cold beer.

Not going to kick almost any wing out of bed, but this is my favorite way to have wings.  It's gotta be Franks and it's gotta be blue cheese.  Almost all else is optional.


Not mentioned yet for spices and sauces are Baby Ray's Honey Chipotle BBQ sauce and Cavender's as a dry spice.  They are not "hot wings," but like I said, I don't recall meeting a wing that I didn't eat.

[skinzner]

My favorite is a mixture of even parts sriracha and  honey, damn tasty. It is also really good on pulled pork too.

[Armstrong]

They are a lot of work but are the best wings I've ever had.  Google pok pok chicken wing recipe.  They never disappoint. 

[C-Money]

Deep fry, then use Red Devil. Another favorite is mix Red devil with Sweet Baby Rays. The "Hot BBQ" sauce is also really good to dip your pizza in. Most important, make sure the wings are sloppy wet in sauce, either recipe. A Little ranch to dip your wings in never hurt, especially with the Red Devil wings.

[pianoman9701]

I bake the wings dusted in McCormick lemon pepper. When they're done, I toss them in Frank's and butter with a little vinegar. Pretty simple.

[Mark Brenckle]

I bake at 400 for about 20-25 minutes, flip them and bake another 15. Pull them out, coat them with Pete’s Wing Sauce and put them back in for about 10 minutes.
