What is everyone using for hot wing sauce?

I make mine using Franks red hot, melted butter and a heaping tablespoon of chili garlic paste(found with Asian foods at the supermarket). It makes a killer spicy and flavorful sauce without being too over the top heat wise.
 
Franks, Butter, Garlic, Chili Powder, Old Bay and a little Lemon Zest. Dry rub them and let them soak in some of the dry ingredients as well, builds up a nice crunchy exterior.
 
What do you guys use for rubs? I've been making my own:

1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp fresh ground pepper
1 Tbsp Inca fire salts (it's a seasoning I buy with sea salt, smoked paprika, chiles, lime peel, garlic, onion, allspice, cumin, black pepper)
2 tsp cayenne

I always use sugar maple wood with my wings. Love the flavour.

I'd love to read what other Brethren put in their hot wing rubs!
 
I use Franks hot sauce or Franks wing sauce and no matter which I use I add some garlic powder (preferred) or garlic salt along with some margarine. Everyone seems to like it..

Have thought about adding some cumin too, but haven't yet.
 
Not a big fan of Buffalo-style sauce. So, I've leaned towards BBQ---usually a Spicy version. Last couple cooks I've used the Johhny Trigg-favorite...Tiger Sauce.

Costly, but oh so good.

Personally, I always just season my wings with salt, pepper & garlic powder then smoke them over high heat (325-350) and then toss them in sauce.

I make it easy and get the store bought wing sauce. We like the spicy garlic, sweet chili and any BBQ sauce that I have.

I do a 10-12min steam and cool first, then ^^^^^ this method. We prefer Carribean Jerk and Teriyaki. A light dusting of HDD under the Jerk sauce is Awesome!!
 
A bit of Blues Hogg.
A bit of Sriracha
A liberal dose of Habanero Death Dust.

I am toying with the idea of using Mike's Crucible on my next batch.
 
I sprinkle with some cayenne. Then I make a glaze 1/3 sriracha,1/3 brown sugar, and 1/3 honey. I use the glaze at the end until it sets.
 
1 part franks
1 part tobasco
1 part Texas petes
Butter
Garlic powder
Brown sugar or maple syrup
Blend and add flour to thicken

If not in a hurry start with a brick roux to add depth of flavor
 
I use Franks origin red hot, Franks buffalo wing sauce and then I add sriracha sauce and proceed to melt your mouth away. Or another go to sauce is plain Kraft bbq sauce and Sriracha. Thats always a crowd pleaser.
 
Edit to my last post: I grow and make my own sriricha sauce from the garden with 7 kinds of hot peppers and horseradish root.
 
I use Franks Wing Sauce most of the time. Sometimes I sprinkle a little of Willinghams For Big Kids Only rub on them for a little heat and then some Sweet Baby Rays and Open Pit mixed to coat them. I have had the Willinghams for so long I decided I may need to find something else. Just ordered some HHD yesterday!
 
Wow, lots of folks voting for franks. I like Franks original as well for the flavor, but haven't tried the wing sauce. Going to put in an order for habanero salt this week or maybe try the HDD i see everyone on here rave about.

Make sure you also get a bottle of the Frank's Sweet Chili Sauce.


It's great as glaze on chops, loins and etc.


Truly exceptional.

Wings......wings.


Man, you've just kicked up a craving that's going to end in my having to cook some wings today or tomorrow.


I like a quality wing rub and this is my second pound bag of Mad Hunky wing rub. It is great on wings and chicken and I love layering on a second type of rub over this, too.


I like Mad Hunky first and then something sweet over it. Perfecto !!!!!






Once they are good and crispy I'll brush on a good sauce....it ranges in type....usually a quality hickory sauce that I cut a bit with apple juice.








Sometimes I'll go an entirely different route and bread them in some House-Autry Hot breading and grill them.....grilled-fried wings are killer !!!!!!







Try injecting the split breasts with pickle juice and Frank's Red Hot before dredging through the House-Autry Hot breading.


Wings are one of our favorite grilling foods !!!!

Now I'm going to have to try breaded grilled wings very soon! Looks super.
