Wings with Angry Sauce
Do you love chicken wings? Hot wing? Then you will love these Wings with Angry Sauce!! Oooooh, the fire!! I think they are delicious and I know that a lot of you out there agree with me.
I really like the name of these chicken wings, the “Angry Sauce” wording in the title adds something. It makes you stop and think for a second, like hmmm, should I try one of these or not? How angry are they, really? But that’s the great part about this recipe!
Cause, I am not talking five-alarm, blow your head off heat but a nice fiery sweet sauce does it for me!! As you are making these Wings with Angry Sauce, taste the sauce and adjust it to your liking. Adding more sweetness from sugar or honey will tone down the heat.
Although if you really want to ramp up the heat you certainly can! I always gear the spiciness of my wings to the crowd I am feeding. If it’s for a super bowl party with a wide variety of people I will tone down the heat level.
On the other hand, if I know my guests love the heat I will take the heat up to full throttle. It is entirely up to you! One thing I can guarantee is that these chicken wings are going to be very popular with all your guests!

These spicy babies will be awesome at your next game day and people will be screaming for more!! We have made tons of wings in the past and for the most part, we have deep-fried them. Then shaken them in a big paper bag to remove the excess oil. Finally in a large bowl toss them up in our favorite hot sauce, which happens to rhyme with Cranks!!
Now, with this recipe, we baked them. Cover the wings with the canola oil so they are coated all over, and preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Place them on prepared baking sheets and roast They still will out as crisp as ever. Gone are the days of frying!
In a large bowl whisk the chile sauce, toss to coat the wings
You will want to make a second batch of these as they will disappear quickly.
This recipe I initially saw in Food & Wine and was made with a Korean chili paste called gochujang, which I have no idea where to locate except for probably China town which I wasn’t going to.
I had harissa on hand which is a North African hot chili pepper paste, which is much easier to find. Also having made harissa in the past, I was more familiar with this chili paste. Don’t you love taking an ingredient that you normally wouldn’t use like harissa and using it?
Add Some Zing to Your Wings!
I mean really everyone makes chicken wings, whether they come from your kitchen, your local pub or sports bar or your grocery store. So why just make the same old same old wings, why not add some zing to your wings!
I garnished these with sesame seeds, but you do sesame seeds and scallions, along with some freshly ground pepper. Serve hot, which shouldn’t be a problem cause they are so darn yummy!! As soon as I pulled them out of the oven there was a line up at the kitchen counter for a taste!
Do they taste as good as they look? You betcha! Fiery, sweet and full of flavor! Ken gobbled them down and we will be making them again very soon.

Cassie says
I don’t know if I could handle all the Spicyness but they sure look flavorful!!
Tara Noland says
They really aren’t that hot as the sweet balances them out.
Crystal says
FYI soy sauce is NOT gluten free! If you are going to label your recipes with allergen information educated yourself before you or someone that makes your recipe gets someone sick or worse. As a person with Celiac disease I find it ironic your Angry Sauce makes me angry. 😡
Tara Noland says
FYI, there are gluten free soy sauces and if you have Celiac disease you will need to know that!! That was a slight omission on my behalf but if you have a disease that you need to be watching what you intake that is the responsiblity of the individual to make sure you have purchased correctly. I find your comment not helpful in a nice and kind way but very antagonistic. Maybe rethink how you are approaching something next time.
Jack says
I think that a great recipe specially the chili sauce on top.
Tara Noland says
Thanks Jack!
Robin casselberry says
We didn’t have harissa so i used an Asian red chili paste, these wings were the bomb! Sticky and perfect. Definitely gonna order some harissa could we really missed some heat! Cannot wait to make again!
Tara Noland says
I have to try them with the red chili paste and you the harissa. Mmmmm, wings!!
Jeff says
These wings sound very good but the amount of sugar in these is kind of crazy. It’s called angry sauce and 2/3 of it is some kind of sweetener.
Tara Noland says
I guess the easy answer is to not add as much sweetener if you don’t want it but the consequence is hotter wings, that is entirely up to you!
Ashley says
I made these tonight and oh my goooood.
The best wing sauce ever! I had to take some to my neighbors to try and they needed the recipe.
Even my kiddos liked it, they would have liked it a little less spicy but too bad 🤣
Tara Noland says
So glad you liked it! If they ate it then it wasn’t too hot, lol!
robert capodanno says
found the Korean paste at stop and shop. followed recipe came out great. not enough heat. I added red chili peeper flakes at end. fed 4 teenagers– zero left overs
Tara Noland says
So glad you enjoyed them. Yes, amp up the heat to what you like. We have had them mild to hot, all so good!!
