Week two. I don’t think I like sweet BBQ sauces on my buffalo wings, but I’ve got two of ‘em this week. Morale is low. But Thai Curry… that’s the good stuff.

Sweet BBQ

Traditional BBQ sauce: Satisfyingly sweet.

If this were what traditional BBQ sauce tasted like, no one would like BBQ sauce. I guess no one would dislike it that much either though, because this sauce was flavorless.

For the second mildest option on the list and with sweet in the name, I was expecting something almost cloyingly sweet. Fortunately, this was not the case. Unfortunately, this lack of sweetness was balanced with lack of any other noticeable characteristic.

Honey BBQ

A sweet, sassy sauce: Savor the flavor.

It is hard to conceive that there are six sauces/seasonings on Buffalo Wild Wings’ menu between “Sweet BBQ” and “Honey BBQ” on a spiciness scale. But this is what Buffalo Wild Wings claims is the case.

After trying the two of them back-to-back this claim is even harder to swallow. Honey BBQ wings are certainly better than Sweet BBQ, but they aren’t noticeably spicier. It’s more like what Sweet BBQ should be. Also, please don’t put the word “sassy” in the description of a BBQ sauce.

Thai Curry

Herbs and spices combined with sweet chilies and a touch of curry flavor.

I have never been to Thailand or on the continent of Asia for that matter, but I like to think I’m pretty down with curry. I’m a fan of lots of local Thai restaurants, and am familiar with the Americanized versions of curries of other cultures as well (mainly India). It’s all great.

All this to say is that this is like curry’s even more American cousin. And the word “Thai” was probably picked randomly out of a hat, or more likely by a focus group. It bares a family resemblance to curry.

But this should not diminish the quality of the sauce, which in my opinion is among the best that BWW has to offer. This sauce is very thick, and has a slightly buttery taste. It doesn’t have a whole lot of heat on the front, but it accumulates as you eat them and lingers for awhile. The different spices used make this sauce stand out in a good way from the rest of the lineup. Some might find this sauce too salty, but it’s about perfect for me.
