Buffalo Wild Wings has turned sauce selection into an art form. They include sweat-inducing scorchers and sweet-and-savory blends, each option packs its own personality. With more than 20 choices on the menu, some seasonings have earned cult status for their flavor, balance, or sheer firepower. Here are ten of the most popular and widely praised.
Mango Habanero
This sauce plays tricks on your taste buds: fruity and mellow at first, then brutally spicy. The habanero kicks in late but hits hard, thanks to its high Scoville rating. It’s a thrilling ride from sweet to searing. Mango Habanero is consistently ranked among BWW’s hottest and most addictive flavors.
Parmesan Garlic
Rich, garlicky, and delightfully cheesy, Parmesan Garlic skips the heat but still delivers a bold taste. Parmesan cheese and garlic dominate the profile, giving it a creamy, savory punch. Made with real cheese, the gravy is a favorite for those craving flavor over fire.
Asian Zing
Soy sauce and ginger team up in this glossy, sticky blend that leans sweet but finishes with a zesty bite. Bold but not overpowering, fans of Asian-inspired flavors praise it for its layered taste. Asian Zing is also a top pick for dipping non-wing items like onion rings.
Blazin’ Knockout
Currently the hottest sauce on the menu, Blazin’ Knockout features nine types of peppers, including ghost and scorpion. The heat is immediate and relentless. In 2023, it replaced the original Blazin’ with a revamped flavor profile. Customers must sign a waiver before attempting the Blazin’ Challenge using this one.
Honey BBQ
Buffalo Wild Wings’ most-ordered sauce, Honey BBQ, is beloved for its smoky sweetness and family-friendly flavor. It is one of the most versatile relishes, and the mild heat makes it approachable for nearly everyone, including kids. Honey is popular because of its perfect balance of molasses depth and tangy zip.
Wild
As the second-hottest sauce on the regular menu, Wild is intensely spicy but still flavorful. It delivers a punch of heat and underlying buttery buffalo notes. While not as scorching as Blazin’, it’s no joke—it clocks in at over 100,000 Scoville units. Many fans use it to mix with milder gravy for custom heat levels.
Spicy Garlic
This one doesn’t mess around: it is assertive and deeply satisfying. Garlic leads the charge, backed by a steady, medium-level burn. Spicy garlic’s intensity makes it a cult favorite for regulars who avoid extremes. The sauce clings well to boneless wings, locking in its full-bodied flavor.
Thai Curry
Blending coconut milk, red curry, and lemongrass, Thai Curry offers a rich, savory profile rarely found in wing sauces. It’s creamy and moderately spicy, featuring a depth that lingers. This flavor stands out for its Southeast Asian inspiration. Regulars often recommend pairing it with celery to balance its boldness.
Hot
The Hot sauce is a classic take on buffalo flavor with a strong cayenne pepper presence. It is tangy and was one of the original toppings when Buffalo Wild Wings launched in 1982. Fans of traditional wing heat swear by its consistency and bite.
Sweet BBQ
While milder than Honey BBQ, Sweet BBQ leans more into smoky molasses and brown sugar tones. The sauce has zero heat but makes up for it with a rich, layered flavor. Sweet is a popular dipping condiment for chicken tenders and onion rings. Its thick texture helps it cling well to wings and boneless bites.
