*** This giveaway has ended. Congratulations to the winners! ***
Yesterday I shared about my husband’s love of wings (and a blue cheese dressing recipe). Today, I want to tell you just how that love came to be.
Once upon a time, a bunch of my hubby’s buddies decided to do a wings night at a fella’s house. They invited their friend Mark, who had a fledgling wings sauce business, to cook the wings and to sample his sauces. That night, my husband declares, a love of wings was born.
When I asked what was so great about wings, he explained:
“Wings are the perfect delivery method for Wys Guy Sauce.”
That was over 10 years ago. Since then, Mark’s business, “Wys Wings” has really taken off (poultry pun intended). Actually, Mark has been in the wing business since 90s and Wys Wings offers a variety of award winning sauces to both end-user consumers (like us!) and the food industry (restaurants).
Mike’s favorite sauce is Wys Guys, a habanero-based sauce that makes him hiccup with delight. It has too much heat for me, I prefer Wysdom — it is sweet and tangy with just enough kick at a medium level of heat.
In addition to creating fantastic tasting sauces, Mark created a You Tube video series to show how too cook great wings at home. My post yesterday described how we do it with an outdoor propane-based deep fryer; Mark demonstrates with an indoor countertop electric model. He also explains how to prepare boneless wings.
Don’t Like Wings?
Even if you are not a wing fan, these sauces are great on all kinds of chicken dishes. When we serve the kids chicken nuggets, this is what Mike & I dip ours in. Mark also has a Teriyaki sauce and an Asian Ambrosia sauce that make great marinades. Give them a try and see what you like!

Nuts – love me some Wy’s Guy sauce. Don’t have any wings in the house.
We love wings… but always fight on the sauce, because hubby likes them really hot, and I am more a Mild kind of girl…So if we were to win a bottle of this sauce, we would have to go for the Medium one, just to negotiate! 🙂 Not sure if the kids could handle even a Medium though
I tend to enjoy some spice! However,that might be a little too spicy for the kids. Maybe some medium would be a good place to start! I would love to try this out!
I would be so delighted to try both the Wy’s Guys and the Teriyaki! They both sound delish. Love the youtube video as well, as I love to try new ways to make wings just right. Thanks!
I would love to try the HOT sauce!! Love wings!!
Ooh the tangy and sweet mild sounds yummy!
Not an easy decision to make. My husband would love the hot, but Alex and I would like the sweet and tangy mild. Either way, they all look delicious!!! I love wings!!
I think Wysdom Sweet Buffalo sounds delish!
Buffalo wings are one of my weaknesses. I think Hot sauce would be the best. Not as high as the Wy’s Guy, but still pretty strong. Great blog, Kendra!
Ooooo I think the sweet and tangy one would be great!!!! They all sound very yummy!
This has me thinking about Wys Wings and blue cheese! I was so inspired by Mike’s blue cheese I went out today and threw together some of the ingredients. I couldn’t figure out why it tasted a bit odd, then I realized I wasn’t using Worcestershire, but rather Soy Sauce. DOH!
Mmmmmm, Sweet & Tangy Hot, please 🙂
Sweet and Tangy Mild sound delicious!

Wysdom sounds awesome!
I’ll try the Mild! Really want to see if it’s the best sauce out there 😉 Love wings, especially during Football season!
I would love to try the Wysdom sweet buffalo – yum!
HOT for both entries! I will share on facebook too. Thanks!
I think I’d like to try the medium buffalo wing sauce. Yum!
Wy’s Guys sounds great- my husband and I both love spicy!!

Sweet and Tangy Mild would be great in the crock pot with a whole bunch of meat. I’d love to try it!
