Texas Green Sauce Hot Wings

Looking for game day wings that'll have your guests fighting over the last one? These Texas Green Sauce Hot Wings are about to become your new go-to. We take crispy, golden-fried chicken wings and toss them in our signature buttery jalapeño sauce for a tangy kick that traditional buffalo wings simply can't match. Bold Texan flavor meets crowd-pleasing comfort food—ready in under an hour. 

Why Texas Green Sauce Wings Beat Traditional Buffalo

The secret is in the sauce. While buffalo wings rely on vinegar-forward heat, Texas Green Sauce brings roasted jalapeño depth, fresh cilantro brightness, and a tangy lime finish that makes every bite interesting. When combined with butter and baked, the sauce creates a glossy, caramelized coating that clings to every crispy crevice.

• Roasted jalapeños: Hand-scraped and fire-roasted for smoky depth without overwhelming heat
• Fresh cilantro & lime: Bright, herbaceous notes that cut through the richness
• Buttery finish: Creates that glossy, finger-licking glaze everyone loves 

Ingredients

For the Wings

• Canola or vegetable oil, for frying (about 3 inches in pot) 
• 24 chicken wing pieces (about 2.5 lbs—12 whole wings separated into drums and flats) 
• 1 jar (16 oz) Texas Green Sauce (Original, Hot, or Smokeshow—your call) 
• 1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter

For Serving

• Blue cheese or ranch dressing 
• Celery and carrot sticks 
• Fresh cilantro, roughly chopped 
• Lime wedges 

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep your setup: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Heat 3 inches of canola oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels and have a wire rack ready.
2. Fry the wings: Working in batches to avoid crowding, carefully add half the wings to the hot oil. Fry for 6-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F). Transfer to paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining wings.
3. Make the sauce: While the second batch fries, combine the entire jar of Texas Green Sauce and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until the butter melts and the mixture just begins to bubble. Remove from heat immediately.
4. Toss and bake: Place all fried wings in a large ovenproof dish or baking pan. Pour about three-quarters of the sauce over the wings and toss to coat evenly. Reserve the remaining sauce for serving. Bake for 20-30 minutes until the sauce is caramelized and glossy.
5. Serve it up: Transfer wings to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges. Serve with the reserved butter sauce, your choice of blue cheese or ranch, celery, carrots, and plenty of napkins.

Tips for Perfect Texas Green Sauce Wings 

• Heat level control: Original for family-friendly heat, Hot for spice lovers, Smokeshow for that campfire kick 
• Crispier wings: Pat wings completely dry before frying. Moisture is the enemy of crunch.
• Air fryer option: Cook wings at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, then toss in sauce and air fry 3 more minutes.
• Make-ahead sauce: The butter sauce can be made ahead and reheated. It actually gets better as the flavors meld.
