The 4 Most Popular Buffalo Wild Wing Sauces
1. Mild Wing Sauce – This mild and flavorful sauce is perfect for those who enjoy a little kick without overwhelming heat. To make this tasty sauce, you’ll need Franks Original Hot Sauce, oil, sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Whisk all the ingredients together, and you’ll have a delectable wing sauce that pleases just about everyone.
2. Medium Wing Sauce – Stepping it up a notch, the medium wing sauce delivers a slightly spicier punch. Similar to the mild sauce, it incorporates Franks Original Hot Sauce, oil, sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. To give it an extra zing, you’ll also add water and cornstarch for a slightly thicker consistency.
3. Blazing Hot Wing Sauce – For the bold and daring, the blazing hot wing sauce brings the heat to a whole new level. Made with fiery habanero and jalapeno peppers, this sauce is not for the faint of heart! Use caution when handling these peppers and consider wearing gloves for added protection. Alongside the peppers, you’ll need minced garlic, white vinegar, mustard powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried cumin, and pepper. Adjust the number of pepper seeds to your desired level of heat.
4. Spicy Garlic Sauce – Last but not least, the spicy garlic sauce is a delightful combination of spice and savory goodness. Franks Original Hot Sauce, oil, sugar, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper pack a flavorful punch garlic lovers will adore.
How to Enjoy These Sauces:
- To make the most of these delectable sauces, start by baking or frying your wings until they are perfectly crispy.
- Then, toss the wings in your chosen sauce in a large mixing bowl, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- For a complete wing experience, serve them with Ranch or Blue Cheese and some veggies to balance out the heat.
Customizing the Heat to Suit Your Tastes
One of the most exciting aspects of these sauces is the ability to tailor the heat level to your liking. Whether you’re a heat-seeker or someone who prefers a milder touch, these recipes offer you the power to create the perfect balance for you.
With the Mild Wing Sauce, you can amp up the heat by adding a pinch more cayenne pepper or keep it family friendly.
To make the Medium Wing Sauce, you can play around with the cayenne pepper and jalapeno to find the perfect level of spiciness that excites your taste buds.
And for the daredevils out there, the Blazing Hot Wing Sauce allows for thrilling customization by using more habanero and jalapeno peppers for that unforgettable fiery experience. Remember, a little goes a long way with these fiery ingredients, so adjust with caution!
FAQs:
1 -How long can the homemade wing sauces be stored, and what’s the best way to preserve them?
- The homemade wing sauces can typically be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. For longer storage, freeze the sauces in freezer-safe containers for several months.
2 – Can these wing sauces be used for other dishes besides chicken wings?
- Absolutely! These versatile wing sauces can be used in various creative ways beyond just chicken wings. You can drizzle them over grilled meats like chicken, pork, or even shrimp to add a burst of flavor. They also make fantastic dipping sauces for other snacks like mozzarella sticks, onion rings, or vegetable platters.
3 – What are some tips for achieving crispy and flavorful chicken wings when using these sauces?
- Achieving crispy and flavorful chicken wings at home requires attention to a few key details.
- First, ensure the wings are thoroughly dried before applying the wing sauce to prevent them from becoming soggy. You can pat them dry with paper towels or even let them air-dry in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- When frying the wings, use a deep fryer or a large pot with enough oil to fully submerge them. Fry the wings in batches to avoid overcrowding, which can lead to uneven cooking.
- For baking, place the wings on a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow air circulation and even browning. And most importantly, don’t forget to generously coat the wings with your preferred wing sauce for that delicious flavor!

Love the medium! Opted to skip the cornstarch slurry for xanthan gum since it’s in the ingredients list on a bottle we bought and I had some….thanks so much for the work on these.
I keep trolling sites like this trying to find the Captain Morgan wing sauce recipe BW3 used…. any ideas?
I’m confused a bit. You say put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk together–what about the jalapenos and habaneros? Are we supposed to chop them? Put them in a blender? Emulsion blender? Looking forward to giving these a whirl. Thank you so much for your help.
Agreed! Some of the closest tasting sauces to Buffalo Wild Wings I’ve tried yet. You can always tweak them, but let them cool down. I made a bunch over the weekend and put them in the fridge until I was ready. Even better!
The recipe is more about the sauces, not how you cook them. They are my go to!
Why do you use oil in all of the recipe? Do you cook the medium sauce because of the corn starch?
The Blazin sauce was a total flop. Jalapeno was not a good choice for this sauce.
When you list oil in the ingredients are you talking extra virgin?
yes
How much does the 3x recipe make of these sauces approx. ??
Approximately 3 times what the original recipe yields, give or take.
if you bake them.. how long and for what time do you bake them?
yes
I just tried the mild buffalo sauce, it was amazing. Thank You so much for sharing.
You lost all buffalo wing credibility in the oven. Sorry.
I know baked wings won’t have the same taste and texture as those that were fried, but for the casual at home cook who wants wings on the weekend during the game, these can’t be beat! I hope you’ll try them Jamie. Thanks for your comment, Deb
So fry them – her receipt works for both. Calm down. Really?
