Buffalo Wild Wings: All Sauces and Seasonings, Reviewed and Ranked, Week 7

IMG_2404

The finale is upon us. I ate some blazin’ wings, and it wasn’t as bad as I expected. Read about the rest!

Medium

Classic wing sauce: Comfortably hot.

If an alien came to this earth from another planet and wanted to know what a buffalo chicken wing was, I’d probably take them to Buffalo Wild Wings and get them an order of medium wings, if that Buffalo Wild Wings served aliens.

Also, I think this is the spot in the menu where wings really start getting spicy for people who aren’t that into spice. There is nothing wrong, nor anything particularly noteworthy about this sauce.

Desert Heat

Smokey, sweet and chili pepper seasoning.

These are the spiciest seasoning on the list, but I don’t think they’ll scare many people away. I feel like all the sauces between Medium and Desert Heat barely escalate at all. All are a comfortable level of medium.

Also, like many of the sauces/seasonings in this category, they have a sweet component. This particular seasoning has a great balance. The sweetness is hinted at rather than cloying. The smoke and heat is real. This is kind of like an amped up Chipotle BBQ seasoning.

Blazin’

Keep away from your eyes, pets, children: The hottest sauce we got.

Hey, what do you know? This is the hottest sauce they’ve got. These may be the hottest wings I’ve ever eaten and are almost certainly the hottest I’ve ever reviewed.

Don’t order these unless you’re looking for a challenge… and then another challenge an uncertain number of hours later. While eating them they were very hot, but somewhat manageable for me. Immediately after eating them, even with a glass of milk, they were painful for about 5 minutes.

It should also be noted that I ate these as quickly as possible, both to shorten the amount of time I was uncomfortable, and as a possible test run for the Blazin’ challenge. The Blazin’ Challenge must be completed in 6 minutes, and it took me 2:45 to complete my 4. So I don’t think I’ll be able to do it… but I might still try. Stay tuned!
