What is your favorite hot wing sauce?

Posts: 927
I'm in pursuit of the ultimate home cooked hot wings. I've tried so many sauces. I've ordered directly from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo. I've bought every store brand imaginable. Frank's wing sauce is usually my go to, but lately I've wanted more. I've thought about ordering directly from Duff's, but their sauce only comes insanely hot and you have to cut it yourself with butter. That seems like too much work.
I'm seeking a hot and flavorful wing sauce. I don't want crazy "you have to sign a waiver before you can eat it" sauce. I don't want a wimpy sauce. I want some sauce with a bite. What say the folks here? What is your go to wing sauce?

Below is my current home-made favorite: And you can go as heavy as you want with the hot sauce.
Sweet hot mustard wings
2 lbs chicken wings (separated and tips removed)
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
3 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce
The back-up is a honey sriracha sauce. Give the search feature a go-many options out there.

Thank you for your reply. I absolutely have used the search function and do so often. The reason for my post is that I'm online searching for the ultimate sauce .. one that I can buy locally or have shipped to me. Anchor Bar wasn't bad ... but wasn't perfect. Frank's is pretty good .. but not perfect. With all the wisdom here there must be some thoughts. A new discussion on a great topic beats the heck out of an old search.

I'm from a different school of thought. Rather than a surface sauce applied on the side I prefer Georgia Red Wings meaning they are marninaded for 48 hours so the meat has the taste clear to the bone!Re-gasketing America one yard at a time.

Deep fried wings. Then equal parts Wing it sauce, Frank's red hot, and honey. Want it hotter a few shots of a habenero sauce or ghost pepper.

I get it, most like spicy, but my favorites are the sweet honey sauces!“There are three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who has the same first name as a city; and never get involved with a woman with a tattoo of a dagger on her body.”

Syracuse style has become a new favorite. Basically a 50/50 of Buffalo and BBQ. I don't know of any off the shelf I can reccomend. I use butter and Franks in equal parts for the Buffalo and then add a matching dose of Sweet Baby Rays. I find as I get older I don't quite enjoy hot as much as I used to.

I make varieties of my own. It's hard to beat Frank's store bought wing sauce. Traditional flavor.Sandy Springs & Dawsonville Ga

Lou nails it when he used the word current. I'm a wing man and lucky to be married to a wing gal. I almost always do 2, just like when we're eating wings out. I bought some Marie Sharp per Eggforum recommendation and nailed a good one. 1 cup coconut milk, 2T MS orange pulp, 1T MS hot. It could have been a tick hotter but it was friggilicious.

I'm a fan of equal parts Franks and butter.
I'll melt the butter and put a good amount of minced garlic. Heat the butter until there are just barely bubbles coming up. Let that go until a few minutes before the wings are done, then add the Franks. If I'm wanting more heat I just add more Franks. -

Try some Defcon Sauces - http://defconsauces.mybigcommerce.com/ The Defcon 2 is a good basic wing sauce, not too hot and not too mild. Great flavor. Of course they have the melt your face sauces and the ones for beginners as well.Formerly of Houston, TX - Now Located in Bastrop, TX

This is an interesting article:
http://www.seriouseats.com/2011/02/what-is-the-best-buffalo-wing-sauce-brand-texas-pete-anchor-bar-franks-red-crystal.html
They basically say that any hot sauce mixed with butter did better than the pre-bottled wing sauce. I am not opposed to buying bottled sauces at all, but in this case I think it would be better. The bottled stuff has "butter flavor" added so it won't break down vs the real thing.
The favorite was Franks red hot mixed with about 1 stick of butter per cup of sauce.Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -

From Austin, and in a bottle, I like HEB medium wing sauce. Pretty close to all medium sauces I've had, probably comparable to the Frank's and butter recipes.
For a home made, I like @NecessaryIndulg tequila lime wings, or just spicing up my medium sauce with taco seasoning, lime and spicey cayenne.+++++++++++++++++++++++++++Austin, Texas. I'm the guy holding a beer. -
My favorite is Frank's Redhot Buffalo style, rub the wings in Oakridge BBQ Habanero Death Dust first.
I also like Mango Habanero and Parmesan Garlic from Buffalo Wild Wings, I usually mix those two together.
