Another one that should boil down a one-word answer:
Conflagration prevaricates
Wilder or Kelly friend
Freshwater fish traps
Bring superhero accessory back to earth
Avian precipitation
Chicken ensclosure fee
Blemish a magpie
Rotate horse feed
Scream "pinion"
Sprinkling rain dines
Spiced tea elevator
Don't whirl as much
Smart wine holder
Against oxidation
Torch backyard building
Aerie for a plate
Sheltered bay insects _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature.

Conflagration prevaricates = fire lies + F = fire flies
Wilder or Kelly friend = Gene ally + R = generally
Freshwater fish traps = bass nets + I = bassinets
Bring superhero accessory back to earth = land cape + S = landscape (Quail)
Avian precipitation = bird rain + B = bird brain
Chicken ensclosure fee = coop rate + E = cooperate
Blemish a magpie = scar crow + E = scarecrow
Rotate horse feed = turn oats + C = turn coats
Scream "pinion" = yell wing + O = yellowing (groza)
Sprinkling rain dines = mist eats + R = mistreats (Quail)
Spiced tea elevator = chai lift + R = chair lift
Don't whirl as much = spin less + E = spineless (Quail)
Smart wine holder = wise rack + C = wisecrack (groza)
Against oxidation = anti rust + T = anti-trust
Torch backyard building = burn shed + I = burnished
Aerie for a plate = dish nest + O = dishonest (Quail)
Sheltered bay insects = cove ants + N = covenants

Perfect. That seemed to work well. If you enjoyed these, here are more. They won't boil down to anything, but they should be fun to solve individually,
Detonate artillery on Hades
Tear engagement band
Release foot part
Lather beasts of burden
Rectal snide remark
Harvest corn
Sack lingerie fabric
Dairy helps
Follow dollar bills
Wild hog chamber
Create not on time
Exhibit vermin
Felons angered
Air flow cried
Detect rhythm
Be familiar with perimeter
Wintry pond
Chime hurt
Wad up large boats
Key in high cards
Rigid because of
Sharpen satellite
Support flaps
Coniferous trees carried
Trick housetop
Piscine Strigiformes
Loud noise phoned
Street latch
Form fence door by pouring metal
Challenge wickedness
Clear snow from rabbit
Rooster is sick
What you do with the shamash on your menorah
Pale remains
Taupe, tan, khaki
Beneath 18 holes of golf
NC-17
Bury Gordon Sumner
Hellion's food supply
Anticipate a grade
Admittance increasing
Teach little carlows or lady in blacks
Devote large reptiles
Surreptitiously observes shipping boxes

I thought "oxes" was a valid plural for "ox", which it is, but only when "ox" is used to mean a clumsy person, so the clue would need to change.
The intention for each clue is that only the middle letter is missing. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |

Nice work. EARS and RATING were intended, as the missing letter is supposed to be the exact middle. _________________ I hate people who try to write interesting things in their signature. |
