1. Easy Chicken Wings
You can never go wrong with traditional chicken wings, and this
Easy Chicken Wing recipe lives up to its name. Our hats go off to the great city of Buffalo, NY for being the creators and the inspiration for the classic Buffalo wing. Smothered in your favorite hot sauce, these wings provide plenty of kick without scorching your taste buds.
2. Baja Buffalo Chicken Wings
Take your wings to the next level with tequila! These
Baja Buffalo Chicken Wings are the perfect adult snack for you and your fellow grown-ups. The key to this recipe is making a strong marinade. Before cooking your wings, drop them in a large resealable plastic bag, then add lime juice, tequila, chipotle peppers, garlic salt and red pepper to the mix. Turn the bag over several times to properly coat the wings and to get all of that flavor in every bite. Once you’ve tossed the wings on the grill, occasionally brush them with BULL'S-EYE® Raging Buffalo Barbecue Sauce, or substitute it for your favorite barbecue sauce.
3. Fiery Thai Lemongrass Wings with Mint Hot Sauce
Travel to Thailand from the comfort of your backyard with these
Fiery Thai Lemongrass Wings. The fresh ingredients used to make the marinade for these wings creates an incredible aroma and taste by combining lemongrass, ginger, garlic, lime, and of course, chilies. But don’t stop there! Let the mint hot sauce be the wind beneath your wings. You can add a few Thai Bird chilies to make the sauce come alive. Depending on your heat tolerance, add between one and four chilies to create an authentic heat flavor. With just one bite of these wings, you’ll know exactly how they got their name!
4. Sweet Heat Wings
These
Sweet Heat Wings strike the perfect balance between sweet and spicy. A cup of honey is the secret ingredient to this recipe. With its sweet taste and thick consistency, honey will work wonders to reduce the spice of these wings to an even and enjoyable level. When grilling, turn the wings every 30 minutes after dipping into the reserved marinade, and place them back on the grill. You will repeat this procedure until you’ve used all of the marinade. This usually takes a couple of hours, so be sure to have a few of beverages of your choice on hand while you wait.
5. Szechuan BBQ Wings
This final wing recipe might be the most creative of them all.
Szechuan BBQ Wings are just what the grill doctor ordered this summer! Featuring, among other ingredients, Chinese five spice powder, soy sauce, honey and Sriracha sauce, these wings will take you on a trip to your favorite Chinese restaurant without booking a reservation. You can even make more wings with this sauce as it will stay fresh for up to a week in a refrigerated, air-tight container, making National Chicken Wing Day a possibility on any day.
