Wings make for terrific bar food, gameday snacks, and family dinners. But when it comes to dipping sauces, everyone has their preferences. A few options reign king, so which one should you use? Original Christo’s, a pizza joint with the best wings in Lexington, NC, shares some guidelines to help you pick your destined dip.

A Guide to Picking the Right Sauce for Your Wings

1. Blue Cheese

The classic, creamy choice is commonly seen on salads, but it’s a popular wing sauce as well. Generally, it consists of blue cheese, mayonnaise, and some combination of milk, garlic powder, onion powder, vinegar, and sour cream or yogurt. This combination creates a bold, tangy flavor. For especially spicy wings, blue cheese is the perfect dip to cool the heat and provide a complementary flavor to the original sauce.

2. Barbecue Sauce

wingsThe best thing about barbecue sauce is the variety of ways to serve it. You might choose honey barbecue, an option that’s more sweet than savory. Buffalo barbecue sauce is a little hotter, and the addition of vinegar gives it a tart taste.

3. Honey Mustard

Not quite as popular as its competition, honey mustard still makes its case as a well-loved chicken dip. Among the obvious ingredients, other components include mayonnaise, white or apple cider vinegar, and pepper. This honey-golden sweet take on tangy mustard makes it great for dipping wings. Because it’s a combination of several flavors, your enjoyment depends purely on whether you like what it’s made of.

4. Hot Sauce

If you can handle a kick, you’ll love hot sauce as your dip. Whether it’s sriracha, Tabasco®, or jalapeño, each adds a different spice to your wings. Sriracha has a tangy, sweet flavor with a hint of garlic, Tabasco offers a distinct salt and vinegar taste, and jalapeño adds a twist with its green color and tangy pickled zest. For those who want their hot wings hotter, any of these choices are for you.

5. Ranch

By far the most popular wing dip is ranch. Like blue cheese, it’s tangy, creamy, and great on salad. But what has more people choosing ranch over its dressing and dipping cousin? Some feel it soothes the heat of wings with a lighter yet creamier flavor.

With these factors in mind, which dip is more your style? You can request your choice alongside Original Christo’s mouthwatering signature wings.
