"But what happens if it's a flavor you don't actually like? Maybe you're craving spicy Buffalo wings or an easy sweet chili sauce, and all that's on sale is barbecue. Or worse, it's a brand with bland, lifeless sauce. Don't give up on those wings just yet. Most frozen wing brands include a separate pack of sauce you add after the wings are cooked - but there's nothing that says you have to use it."
"Save the included sauce for something else and swap in your own favorite flavor to have the wings the way you really want them. Or use the included sauce as a base for something more creative. Mix in some fresh herbs, green onion, or hot sauce for an extra kick. Additions like fresh garlic, chipotle, or maple syrup can totally change a flavor profile with just a small amount, elevating your frozen wing meal from so-so to so good."
"Chicken offers a lot of versatility. Because it's so prevalent in every kind of cuisine, there are almost limitless ways to season and prepare it. As a canvas for flavor, it's mild enough to pair with almost anything. Smoky, sweet, spicy, fruity, creamy - it all works. That's why you shouldn't feel limited by whatever sauce the wings were packaged with."
Most frozen wings come with a separate sauce packet that can be set aside and replaced with preferred flavors or used as a base for customization. Adding fresh herbs, green onion, hot sauce, garlic, chipotle, or maple syrup can dramatically change the flavor with a small amount. Plain, unbreaded wings are a versatile canvas suited to dry rubs like smoked paprika, brown sugar, garlic and cayenne, or glazes such as teriyaki or chili-honey-lime for Thai-inspired notes. Simple additions like dill, parsley, chives, lemon juice, mayo, or sour cream also enhance texture and brightness.
