Sorry for the delay… Life and stuff. Also, some minor hosting crisis work for another site of mine: St. Louis’ premiere NCAA Office Pool, the Kube Klassik. Anyway, on to the wings:

Lemon Pepper Seasoning

Pucker up citrus seasoning with a pinch of pepper.

Lemon Pepper. Why this flavor combination works so well is a mystery to me, probably because I don’t know how taste works and was pretty bad at science in general.

But Man these things are good. While BWW’s description notes a “pinch of pepper” I found a whole lot of it. And it balanced out the citrusy tang of the lemon seasoning (what is lemon seasoning?) very well. These are the mildest wings I’d recommend anyone get, because while they aren’t spicy, they don’t compromise on flavor.

Buffalo Seasoning

Classic heat and soothing buttery seasoning.

If you look at the picture of these wings, you may be confused about whether or not this is a seasoning or a sauce. I know I was. It looks kind of like a grainy sauce had partially melted on the hot wings. Appealing, no?

No. It isn’t very appealing, and this seasoning doesn’t taste as described either. These wings kind of tasted like Lawry’s Seasoning Salt and butter, but in a not very good way. Very little heat. Kind of weird texture. How could Buffalo Wild Wings so badly mess up the only flavor with “Buffalo” in its name?

Hot BBQ

Rich BBQ sauce with a touch of heat.

I am a BBQ sauce on wings hater, so it is no surprise that I found this sauce lacking. BWW describes it as “Rich BBQ sauce with a touch of heat” but I’d invert that to “Wimpy BBQ sauce with some overwhelming heat”.

I like BBQ sauce, and I like spicy BBQ sauce. But I don’t like BBQ sauce on my buffalo wings, and I don’t think this is a very good BBQ sauce. Spicier and less flavorful than expected and advertised.
