Starting with the most essential must-have… mouthwatering food!
Easy Wing Night Recipes
Crispy Baked Buffalo Wings
Classic wings with a crunchy oven-baked skin. Baste with more Buffalo for an extra saucy plate.
Mild Chicken Wings
For those who prefer a gentler kick. This recipe is great for sensitive palates and kids, or fire up the flavor a bit more by dipping in Original or Hot Buffalo.
Buffalo Cauliflower Wings
A favorite with vegetarians and meat-eaters alike! Rather than deep frying, these wings are cooked in the air fryer with our avocado oil spray.
Air-Fried Teriyaki Wings and Drumsticks
A sweeter alternative to Buffalo. This recipe can also be customized with our No-Soy Island Teriyaki for tropical flair.
Add Non-Wing Options
Since not everyone’s a fan of wings (we know… gasp!), you’ll also want to have some other saucy favorites on hand. Opt for classics like chargrilled beef patties, turkey burgers, or pulled pork sandwiches to ensure there’s something for every taste.
Set out a condiment bar with Primal Kitchen Ketchup, Spicy Brown Mustard, and our tangy Special Sauce for the burgers. Also include toppings from cheese slices and bacon to onions, lettuce, and tomato.
Stay Saucy With More Flavors
Don’t skimp on the sauce options. The key to your wing night's success is having enough gooey, drippy, finger-licking sauces for everyone to enjoy.
- Buffalo Sauce - In multiple heat levels so guests can choose
- Ranch Dressing - To cool tingling tongues
- Buffalo Ranch Dip - Best of both worlds
- Honey Mustard - For those ‘swicy’ cravings
- Korean BBQ - Savory, sweet, and totally crave-worthy
- Classic BBQ - Organic & unsweetened, for the grilling purists
Pro Tip: Don’t risk last-drop regret! Grab the biggie 16.5 oz bottle of our original Buffalo Sauce to make sure the flavor keeps flowing.
Build a Wing Board
If one or two varieties of wings isn’t enough to feed your guests, or you want to wow the crowd, build a custom snack board. Include a few varieties of wings, such as Buffalo baked wings, air-fried wings, and baked cauliflower bites plus sauce cups for dipping and dunking.
Design your own or use our Game Day Charcuterie Board recipe as a blueprint instead of wingin’ it. Don’t leave anyone out! Include a Plant-Based Snack Board for vegetarians and guests who want to balance out the meaty wings.
Delicious Extras for Your Wing Party
Having drippy, delightfully kicky drummies and wingettes on the table is enough to satisfy. But if you’re feeling a little extra, why not theme out the whole night with these additional ideas?
- Use an app to design fun, wing-themed invitations with a catchy tagline like "Get ready to wing it!" or "Fowl play guaranteed!" Send them out on social or by email to get everyone excited.
- Decorate with party streamers or balloons in orange and red to spice up the night.
- Put together a wing-themed party playlist to get things rocking and rolling. If the game’s on, simply put things on pause until it’s break time again.
- Play a themed trivia game or host a hot wing eating challenge (bonus points if you film it and send it to guests later).
- Give each guest a small bottle of Buffalo wing sauce, custom dry rub, or ranch dressing to take home as a souvenir.
Tips for a Stress-Free Wing Night
Hosting a wing night doesn’t have to be difficult. Don’t be afraid to ask guests for help — whether it’s bringing their own batch of saucy drummies or staying a few extra minutes for cleanup. Follow these quick tips to ensure your wing night event is as smooth as our creamy, kicky Buffalo Sauce.
Plan ahead: Make a few dishes in advance to avoid last-minute chaos. Wings are better fresh, so focus on prepping veggie trays, potato salad, or other refrigerated sides the night before.
Variety is key: Offer options that cater to different tastes and dietary restrictions, such as low-sugar sauces and gluten-free bread or crackers.
Don't forget the drinks: Stock up on soda, iced tea, and water to keep your guests refreshed. Place them in a cooler of ice where everyone can grab n’ go.
Most importantly, have fun! Remember, wing night is meant to be a party. So relax, enjoy delicious food and the company of your favorite people, and let the good times begin.
