Franks RedHot Sauce – 450 SHUs It is also credited as a key ingredient in the original Buffalo wing sauce, created in Buffalo, NY.
Similar, how hot is Buffalo Wild Wings mango habanero sauce? Heat: 8/10 – Fiery, but balanced.
The honey BBQ sauce is rich in color and has a nice smoky flavor. However, the wing was too sweet and viscous for it to rank higher on the wildness scale. It’s almost as if the “honey” portion of the name was the only ingredient emphasized in the sauce.
As far as names go, this sauce might just have the best one. You can definitely hear Robert Duvall shouting “I love the smell of Desert Heat in the morning” in Apocalypse Now. Unfortunately, that’s not how we’re grading this bad boy. It rates highly in regards to flavor combos—rich and smoky—but as for how flavorful it is, it’s a little too salty, which in turn hides all the good stuff.
Since Buffalo Wild Wings first opened its doors in Columbus, Ohio in 1982, the fast-casual titan has redefined what it means to be a chain restaurant in America. By combining all things boozy and fried with a command center’s worth of HD televisions for watching sports, Buffalo Wild Wings has quickly become one of Americas most ubiquitous chains.
The golden-hued skin is paper-thin but crunchy, while the meat is moist and perfectly salty. It’s a good wing, and probably one of the better plain wings you can snag at a fast-food chain. It shouldnt be as good as it is, and that is what makes it wild.
News flash: Blazin’ is indeed hot. Buffalo Wild Wings’ approximately 350,000 Scoville-unit scorcher will give you bubble guts just from huffing it. Obviously, this sauce isn’t one that you’d casually consume. It’ll not only knock you on your ass, but it tastes just as burnt and smoky as it smells. It’s definitely accurately named, but if you’re looking for any sort of, uh, pleasurable flavor, another sauce or seasoning is your best bet.
Although this sauce has a rabid fan following, we found the flavor profile to be pretty unbalanced. The tartness of the lime takes center stage here, and its more like a lime-jalapeño glaze than a proper wing sauce. The tequila is entirely lost in the shuffle — we couldnt taste it at all. There is a good bit of heat, so it makes sense that fans of the sweet heat flavor have rallied around this sauce.
The heat that is present comes primarily from the ginger, which packs a serious punch and is offset by the sauces sticky sweetness bright background notes. Of all of the sweet wing sauces that B-Dubs serves up, this one is hands-down the best option. Its also a good option if youre dining with kids or teens who are just starting to get a little bit more adventurous with their eating, and since it is not totally devoid of heat, there is a strong chance that everyone at your table will get some enjoyment out of an order of Caribbean Jerk wings.
Considering the fact that it was initially rolled out as part of a chicken-free appetizer, it might come as somewhat of a surprise that this relative newcomer to the menu is so high on our list — but trust us on this one, its good. Buffalo Wild Wings released their new Smoky Adobo sauce in March 2020 as a component of its Dirty Dubs Tots, an order of tater tots loaded with smoked pulled brisket, grilled onions, hatch chili queso, pickled jalapeños, and a host of other toppings — including the sauce.
Teriyaki wings in general are a classic example of how the American palate has flattened the idea of Asian flavor into a one-note, overly-sweet umami bomb. Buffalo Wild Wings claims that its take on teriyaki is “savory and full-bodied,” but its really just jazzed-up soy sauce. This sauce is on the sweet side — a single serving contains 24 grams of sugar — and this one has absolutely no heat.
On the front end, you get a tart, sharp heat with all of the qualities of a good standard hot wing sauce. After that initial bite, youre hit with the lingering, steady heat from the bold garlic that paints the backdrop of this sauce. It isnt the best garlic-forward option on the menu — we like the Parmesan Garlic sauce a bit better — but if you cant decide between hot and pungent, then you wont go wrong by ordering this sauce.
