The best chicken wings are smothered in a spicy, juicy sauce that’s waiting for you to sink your teeth into. Local restaurant Christo’s Original, in Lexington, NC, has delicious wings that are cooked to tender perfection and saturated in a homemade sauce to the spice level of your choice.

Check out some of the top reasons Christo’s Original chooses to use decadent sauce instead of a dry rub on their talk-of-the-town wings.

Perfect For Slow Cooking Wings

Dry rubs work best on meats that are cooked quickly at high temperatures. However, such a high temperature could burn or char a sauced-up wing. Instead, wings rubbed in sauce are best cooked slowly. Slow-cooking of wings not only brings out their natural, meaty flavors but also caramelizes the sauce to sweet, spicy perfection.

Draws Moisture Into Wings

While the wings are slowly cooked to perfection, the outside caramelizes and the tender meat draws in the moisture from the sauce. That means when a restaurant chooses a homemade sauce over a dry rub, there’s less of a chance the meat will be dried out once it reaches your table. Instead, the end result is juicy meat that pulls away from the bone easily and melts in your mouth.

Choice Of Spice Level

Mild, medium, hot, “pure pain,” or barbecue — which will you choose? When a restaurant uses sauce instead of a dry rub, you have a wide variety of choices in the level of spiciness. If you want something easy on your mouth, there’s no shame in choosing mild sauce. If you’re ready for a punch, wake up your taste buds with some “pure pain.” With 0% trans fat per serving in their cooking oil, there’s no guilt involved. If your wings get a little bit too spicy, there’s always cool celery and dressing to put out the fire.
