Whether you’re enjoying a happy hour or watching the game, chicken wings make the perfect appetizers to share with friends and family. As any enthusiast knows, it’s all about the sauce. These are some of the most popular flavors to try the next time you order wings. 

What Are the Best Sauces for Wings?

1. BBQ

Barbecue wing sauces come in many varieties, but the classic version is savory with just the right amount of sweetness. This sauce generally includes some combination of ketchup, vinegar, tomato paste, honey, and brown sugar. If you don’t like spicy foods, this is the option to choose.

2. Sweet & Tangy 

A bit of tang can balance out the sweetness of classic barbecue and tastes great with a cold beer. This sauce generally contains mustard and a touch of spice to give the flavor the pop you crave. 

3. Crazy Hot

Feeling adventurous? The spice lovers in the group will be thrilled to taste this wing sauce. Every bite will have you sweating, so be sure to keep a cold drink and some extra celery sticks nearby. 

4. Garlic Butter

Some people in your group might shy away from spice and zest, so a garlic butter wing is a versatile option to have on the table. This sauce has more of a plain taste, but it highlights the true flavor of the chicken wing. To elevate the bite, dip it in another sauce, like blue cheese. 

5. Lemon Pepper

This combination is truly a classic, seen on many types of rotisserie chicken. It is easy to munch on, since the flavor is much lighter than other sauces. If you have a table full of spicy options or are looking for wings for children, pick this traditional recipe.
